Absolutely fantastic company to deal with. Not only was the work done to a great standard but they also took time out to talk me through all my plants, their names and what they need. We are already booked back for a visit in November.

The whole process from Phil's visit to estimate through to the cutting down of the trees was carried out in a professional, efficient way. On the day the team appeared promptly, cut down the trees in an orderly, safe manner wearing the appropriate kit. They efficiently removed the rubbish + " blow dried" the garden. I have no hesitation in recommending the firm and will probably be calling on their first rate services again

Tree Squadron recently completed two projects for us. The first was to plant four new trees along our rear boundary to increase privacy. The second was to plant new hedging around our driveway, including the removal of a long stone wall.
Both projects were completed on time, by a capable and knowledgeable team, with fantastic results. The removal of the wall was challenging due to exceptionally deep footings but they worked late to get the job done.
We are delighted with our more private back garden and this will only improve as the trees establish themselves. The new hedging has transformed the front of our property and it’s lovely to look out on greenery where there was none before.
The team were courteous and professional throughout, leaving all areas tidy and clean. We would happily use Tree Squadron’s services again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for all the hard work!

The tree squadron team recently cut back a row of tall conifers in my garden, whilst navigating their way around two sheds, a greenhouse and a pond! They were mindful of environmental factors; they covered the pond and suggested this time of year for pruning as birds may soon want to nest in the trees. They completed the job in a day and a half, as planned, and left the garden tidy of any debris. The team was professional and courteous and highly efficient. The trees look great! Many thanks, Sandra

I was a bit late in writing my review , but two months ago, we hired Tree Squadron to take down a large eucalyptus tree in our garden . They were very professional and polite and got the job done in such an efficient way. The guys cleaned up, and after all, their hard work snd left our garden looking brand new 😉

We paid extra to have the tree stump removed the next day,which I would highly recommend.We could not have hoped for a better service, 10/10.

We had our garden landscaped by tree squadron. They did a fantastic job in a challenging landscape (very steep sloping garden!). Phil and his team worked very hard and were excellent communicators, working with us to design the garden. Would definitely recommend them. We've added before and after photographs to show what a transformation they have made in our garden.

Expert arborists and tree surgery in Cardiff

Taking care of trees and hedges on your property can be difficult and time-consuming, and you probably won’t have the tools to hand to do it safely. It’s worth calling in professional arborists who can inspect the trees on your property, understand their condition, advise you on next steps and carry out the work needed to keep your trees healthy and the surrounding area safe.

Cardiff is our home patch - we’re based at Cardiff Gate and work right across the city, from the mature gardens of Lisvane and Rhiwbina to the tighter terraced plots of Roath, Canton and Pontcanna.

Cardiff’s tree stock ranges from large, semi-mature specimens in the older northern suburbs to street trees and boundary hedges in denser residential areas, so access planning matters as much as the climb itself. Several parts of the city, including conservation areas around Llandaff, Roath and the Civic Centre, carry extra controls on tree work - always worth checking with Cardiff Council before any removal or significant pruning goes ahead.

Do I need a tree surgeon in Cardiff?

If you have a tree issue, hedge problem or overgrowth affecting your house or boundary fence, it’s advisable to call a qualified arborist. Our team is fully trained, qualified and insured to carry out any size of job, even at height, with risk assessments completed before work begins. High access work may involve specialist equipment such as cherry pickers, and is completed in accordance with BS 3998 standards.

In tight spaces, tree removal and safe felling is carried out using controlled dismantling techniques. Where a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, consent from Cardiff Council may be needed first - it’s worth understanding the rules on protected trees before work goes ahead.

Local tree surgeons know the area, understand the local ecosystem and have expert knowledge of the trees around Cardiff and South East Wales - which is why how you choose a tree surgeon matters.

Cardiff tree surgery FAQs

Are your tree surgeons fully qualified and insured?

Yes. Our team is fully trained, qualified and insured for all aspects of tree work. We are led by qualified arborists with City & Guilds and Lantra certifications and are an ARB Approved Contractor.

What tree surgery services do you provide?

Tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, hedge trimming, tree surveys, site clearance and commercial grounds maintenance, on both residential and commercial properties.

How do I know if I need a tree surgeon?

If a tree is diseased, damaged, overgrown, blocking light or posing a safety risk, it is best to have it assessed. We will recommend the safest and most cost-effective option.

Do I need permission to remove a tree in Cardiff?

It depends on the tree. If it has a Tree Preservation Order or sits within one of Cardiff’s conservation areas (such as Llandaff or Roath), you’ll usually need consent from Cardiff Council before work starts. We can check this for you as part of the quote.

Can you work on tight, terraced Cardiff gardens?

Yes - a lot of our Cardiff work is in narrow, rear-access gardens in areas like Canton, Roath and Grangetown. We plan access, use smaller kit where needed and always leave the garden clean and clipping-free.
