Spotting the signs before the summer storms ⛈️🌲

We were recently called out to safely dismantle and remove this dead tree from a residential garden.

Right now, healthy trees are in full, thick summer leaf, which makes a dead or dying tree stick out like a sore thumb. Because dead wood quickly becomes brittle and unpredictable, getting it down safely now prevents it from causing real damage if a sudden summer storm hits.

We brought this one down carefully in sections, leaving the garden completely tidy and the nearby fences untouched.

Need a hand with your garden? 🌳

With everything in full bloom, now is the easiest time to spot if a tree or hedge is struggling, dead, or just blocking out your summer light.

If you have a tree you’re worried about or have some garden work that needs doing, feel free to give me a call or a WhatsApp. I'm happy to pop by for a free, no-obligation quote.

Free wood chippings and timber logs for local gardens, allotments, and community projects! 🪵

Instead of hauling all of our surplus wood chippings, mulch, and timber back to the yard at the end of a job, we love to recycle them directly back into the local Bristol community completely free of charge.

How our Chippings Drop List works:

This isn't a scheduled or guaranteed delivery service. It simply means that when we are carrying out tree work right in your immediate neighborhood with a surplus load on the truck, we check our list and reach out to see if you still need it before we head back to the yard.

If you want to get your location on our radar for the next time we're working nearby, you can add your details to our list here:

👉 https://www.arbutustreeservices.com/free-wood-chips-bristol

Looking for a quote for tree surgery?

While we use this list to reduce waste and support local gardens, we are also available for regular tree work across the area. We are a fully insured team covering everything from tree pruning and crown reductions to safe removals, stump grinding, and hedge maintenance.

If you need a free, no-obligation quote for a project, just send our page a message or give Dan a call directly on 07538886491.

Have you watched the David Attenborough documentary Secret Garden yet?It’s a fantastic watch, and it even showcases a garden right here in Bristol. It’s a brilliant reminder that while we’re heading outside to enjoy the sunshine, our own trees and hedges are already bustling "high-rise" homes ...

Safety first in the garden this summer! ☀️🏡

We’ve been busy removing this hazard recently. It was rotten right at the bottom and becoming a real danger to the garden.

With the trees in full leaf, it’s actually the easiest time for us to spot where work is needed. If you’ve got a tree that’s looking a bit tired, or you’re worried about a leaning trunk or falling branches, we’re here to help.

Give us a shout for a no-obligation quote. Let’s make sure your outdoor space is safe for the BBQ season! 🍔🌳

Willow maintenance day! 🪵

A lot of people ask me why we "hard prune" Willows. The truth is, these trees are incredibly resilient and fast-growing. Pollarding keeps them from becoming overgrown and ensures they stay a feature of the garden rather than a hazard.

Really enjoyed the shift on this one today. It’s looking clean, tidy, and ready for spring.

If your trees are looking a bit unruly or you have questions about the best way to prune, I’m here to help. Email info@arbutustreeservices or call 07538 886491 🌳✨

Woodpeckers: Great for wildlife, but they can cause issues! 🌳⚠️

We recently had to take this tree down due to damage caused by past woodpecker nesting cavities. While we love seeing them in the garden, those deep holes can allow moisture to get into the trunk over time. In this specific case, it led to internal rot that eventually made the tree unsafe.

Why it’s best to arrange your tree work now:

🌱 Avoid Summer Delays: We work all year round, but if new birds move into these old cavities to nest, we have to pause work to protect them. Arranging your work now ensures that nesting season doesn't change your plans for the garden later this year. 🐦

❄️ Winter Visibility: This is the ideal time for us to assess your trees and spot any potential issues while the canopy is clear.

If you need to arrange your tree work or you’ve noticed old woodpecker holes and want a professional opinion, get in touch today for a free assessment and quote. 📩 Call Daniel on 07538 886491 or email [email protected]

Great to see some sun in Bristol! It’s the perfect time to get the garden sorted before nesting season kicks in (1st March).

We work all year round, but if you have a big hedge or tree that needs a proper cut-back, it's best to book it in now.

The reason? If a bird nests before we start, we legally have to stop work until the chicks fledge. That can mean a 4–8 week delay to your plans. 🐣

Getting it done now means the job is sorted and the birds get an undisturbed home for the summer.

I’ve put a quick guide on our new website about how we handle nesting checks and what to look out for: https://www.arbutustreeservices.com/post/protecting-bristol-s-songbirds-why-our-team-prioritises-early-tree-work

Is your garden storm-ready? 🌲💨

The recent winds have been a sharp reminder that dead trees and hazardous branches are a major liability. Whether it’s a heavy limb hanging over your roof or a standing dead tree, winter storms don't give second chances.

Why act now?

Easier Access: Without the weight and bulk of leaves, we can see the tree's structural "skeleton" clearly. This allows us to identify cracks and decay that are hidden in the summer.

Precision Removal: Taking down hazardous trees is actually cleaner and more efficient in winter. We can navigate the canopy more easily, and the firmer ground helps protect your lawn from our equipment.

Beat the Damage: Removing a hazard now is much cheaper and safer than dealing with an emergency call-out after it’s already fallen on a fence or power line!

Why Winter is the Best Time for Tree Work ❄️🌳

While the garden might look quiet, winter is the safest time for major pruning and maintenance. It reduces stress on the trees and prevents the spread of certain pests and diseases.
