Glasgow Tree Removal

Glasgow Trees & Gardens provides a reliable tree removal solution for Glasgow’s busy urban environment. Our experienced team understands local conditions for safe, efficient, and fully compliant work.

Your Local Tree Removal Specialists

We’re proud to be one of the most trusted names in tree removal across Glasgow and nearby areas. Our certified tree surgeons and arborists have knowledge of local tree species such as Scots pine, silver birch, and oak.

We choose the right method for each job. Sectional dismantling is used in tight spaces, while straight felling works best when there's plenty of room. Our team uses professional equipment, including climbing kits, rigging systems, chainsaws, and wood chippers. Every team member holds NPTC certification in chai.

Why Glasgow Trees & Gardens Is Your First Choice

Fully Qualified Tree Surgeons with Local Expertise

Every tree surgeon on our team is fully qualified, holding NPTC certification across key areas of tree surgery. Our arborists are trained in working with common Scottish species like Scots pine, silver birch, and oak.

Fast, Efficient and Safe Tree Removal

We’ve removed numerous trees across Glasgow, refining a process that’s fast, safe, and thorough. Most standard removals take less than six hours. In emergencies (like storm damage), we can be on-site quickly.

We carry public liability insurance and follow strict traffic control plans when working on busy roads. Clean-up is part of every job.

Our Comprehensive Tree Removal Process

At Glasgow Trees & Gardens, we follow a clear and careful process for every tree removal. Our approach is built around safety, precision, and respect for the environment. With years of hands-on experience, we handle each job professionally from start to finish.

Initial Site Assessment and Consultation

We begin with a detailed site visit. One of our certified arborists will assess the tree’s size, health, location, and nearby structures. We look at key factors like access, overhead cables, building proximity, and soil conditions.

You’ll get the chance to explain your needs and timeline. Our arborist will give honest advice based on the health of the tree and the site itself. If your tree is protected, we’ll also guide you through any permission needed from Glasgow City Council.

After the visit, you’ll receive a clear quotation. It includes a full breakdown of costs, timing, and any necessary paperwork.

Careful Planning for Minimum Disruption

Planning is crucial—especially in tight Glasgow streets or busy neighbourhoods. We pick a date and time that works for you. We also consider road traffic, nearby activities, and weather forecasts.

Our plan includes safe drop zones, where to place equipment, and any traffic management needed. For trees near buildings or in small spaces, we use sectional dismantling. This means we take the tree down in parts, avoiding damage to your home or garden.

Every detail is planned to reduce disruption and keep your property safe.

Professional Execution with the Right Equipment

On the day, our tree surgeons arrive with all the right tools. This includes chainsaws, rigging gear, climbing kits, and wood chippers. For large or awkward trees, we bring in cranes to safely remove heavy sections.

We usually start at the top, cutting branches before moving on to the main trunk. Our ground team clears away debris and supports the climbers. Two-way radios keep everyone in sync, ensuring smooth, safe teamwork.

From first cut to final sweep-up, we work carefully and efficiently to complete your Glasgow tree removal to the highest standard.

Tree Removal Solutions for All Glasgow Properties

No matter the size or setting of your property, Glasgow Trees & Gardens has a tree removal solution that fits. We work across the city on both small home gardens and large commercial sites—always with care, efficiency, and safety in mind.

Residential Tree Removal Services

Removing trees from home gardens takes a careful touch. We've carried out over 250 residential removals in areas from the West End to the Southside. Our tree surgeons specialise in tight spaces and tricky access. Using rigging systems, we safely remove trees close to homes, conservatories, and walls—without causing damage.

When trees stand near structures, we use section felling to take them down in controlled parts. We also offer full stump removal, leaving your garden tidy and ready for planting or redesign.

Each job ends with a full clean-up. We make sure all waste is cleared and garden features are left just as we found them—or better.

Commercial and Public Space Tree Clearance

Commercial tree work requires planning and speed. We’ve delivered large-scale clearance for Glasgow’s business parks, schools, retail sites, and council properties. Our team works closely with site managers to plan the safest, quietest times to carry out tree work.

We bring in multiple crews and machines when needed, turning long jobs into short ones. Before work starts, we provide detailed risk assessments and all required documentation for insurance and compliance.

For tree work near roads or walkways, we use traffic control systems to keep everyone safe. Businesses also receive proof of eco-friendly disposal, and we offer replanting options to support sustainability goals across Glasgow.

Our Comprehensive Tree Removal Process

Emergency Tree Removal After Storms

Storm-damaged trees can be dangerous. That’s why we offer emergency tree removal across Glasgow. Our response time is fast, usually within 2 hours.

We arrive fully equipped with chainsaws, rigging kits, and mobile cranes to deal with fallen or unstable trees safely. Safety comes first. We assess the scene, set up barriers, and, if needed, work with local authorities to protect nearby buildings and pedestrians.

Diseased and Dangerous Tree Management

Our tree surgeons are trained to spot and remove trees affected by diseases like Dutch elm disease, ash dieback, and Phytophthora. Catching these early can stop the spread and prevent future damage.

For dangerous trees, we use advanced tools like resistographs and sonic tomography to test for hidden decay. These techniques help us make the right call about whether a tree can be saved or needs to go.

When removals are risky—such as trees leaning over homes or power lines—we use sectional dismantling to lower them safely in parts. We also provide photos and reports for insurance if required.

Complete Stump Removal and Site Clearance

We remove tree stumps fully, grinding them down to 30cm below ground. Whether it’s a small garden stump or part of a large commercial clearance, we’ve got the right grinder for the job.

Once the stump is gone, we fill the space with a soil and woodchip mix—ready for turfing or planting. For full site clearances, we take away all debris, leaving the space clean and level.

Nothing goes to waste. We recycle all stump material into mulch for community gardens or fuel for biomass.

Environmental Responsibility in Tree Removal

At Glasgow Trees & Gardens, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Every tree removal is carried out with care for the local ecosystem. Our team follows sustainable practices that protect Glasgow’s green spaces while meeting your property needs.

The Glasgow Trees & Gardens Quality Guarantee

Our Comprehensive Insurance Coverage

We hold public liability insurance, covering all aspects of tree removal. You’re fully protected if anything goes wrong on-site. We also carry employers’ liability insurance to cover our team while they work on your property.

Before we begin, we share our insurance details with you for full transparency. Our policies are specific to arboriculture, so they cover risks that general builders’ insurance often doesn’t, like falling branches or specialist equipment damage. We can provide enhanced coverage on request for larger or high-value sites.

Customer Satisfaction Commitment

We’re proud of the trust our clients place in us. With hundreds of completed jobs our tree surgeon team has built a strong reputation across Glasgow.

Each project includes a 30-day workmanship guarantee. If something isn’t right, we’ll fix it—no hassle. We follow a quality checklist on every job, making sure the site is clean and tidy once we’re done.

You’ll also receive a record of the work completed, including before-and-after photos for your peace of mind. Many of our clients return for regular tree care services or refer us to friends and neighbours—proof that our approach works.

Glasgow Tree Removal Cost Considerations

Knowing what affects the cost of tree removal helps you plan with confidence. At Glasgow Trees & Gardens, we offer clear, honest quotes based on the unique details of each job.

Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees

We believe in full transparency. Our quotations break down the price into simple parts: labour, equipment, disposal, and any necessary permits.

We don’t charge a call-out fee. Instead, we offer a free consultation and site visit across Glasgow. Your quote stays valid for 30 days, giving you time to decide without pressure.

What we quote is what you pay. We include everything upfront—clean-up, traffic control, and stump removal if needed, so there are no surprise charges later.

Factors That Influence Tree Removal Costs

Several things can change the cost of your tree removal:

Size: Bigger trees take more time and need stronger tools. Trees over 20 metres can cost 40–60% more than smaller ones.

Location: Trees in tight spots or near buildings need extra care. We may use specialist rigging or cranes if access is limited.

Condition: Diseased or storm-damaged trees can be more dangerous and complex to remove safely.

Species: Hardwoods like oak are harder to cut and may require tougher gear than softer trees like pine or spruce.
