Tree reports
Trees sometimes need to be assessed for building plans, planning, mortgages or insurance. Glenisla Tree Climbers can provide a tree report for these needs, looking at structure, health, safety and risk.
Our tree surgeons check for dangerous branches, damage to property, signs of disease and issues linked to protected trees. We can also advise on conservation applications, local council rules and any tree surgery services that may be needed.
We offer clear advice and free written quotations for tree surgeons in Dundee and nearby areas.
Supplying and replanting trees
Glenisla Tree Climbers can supply and plant many types of tree, from one small tree to larger planting plans. Our skilled tree surgeons can help with tree planting, planting advice and choosing the right tree for the right place.
We consider height, spread, soil, access and the final look of the garden. Our tree surgeons can also advise on preservation, healthy growth and future tree maintenance.
This helps ensure each tree is planted safely and has the best chance to stay healthy.
Storm damage
Our trained tree surgeons first assess the level of storm damage a tree has suffered. A fallen tree, split trunk or damaged branches may need pruning, cable bracing, sectional dismantling or tree removal.
Where a tree can be saved, careful tree surgery can support recovery. Where the tree is dangerous, our team can provide dangerous tree removal, felling and waste removed to make the place safe.
Tree pruning and dead wooding
Pruning means trimming healthy branches from the crown of a tree to improve shape, light and safety. Tree pruning can also help maintain balance and reduce risk.
Dead wooding means the removal of dead, dying or diseased branches. These branches can fall, harm people or damage the tree.
Our tree surgeons provide pruning, crown reduction, reductions and reduction work with care, helping keep each tree healthy where possible.
Hedges
Hedges usually need regular hedge cutting, hedge trimming and hedge reduction to stop them becoming too large. Overgrown hedges can block light, reduce access and make a garden hard to enjoy.
We provide large hedge trimming for many hedge types, including leylandii trees. Regular trimming helps create a neat, dense look.
Our tree surgeons can also advise when overgrown hedges need careful reduction rather than a simple cut.
Crown thinning and lifting
Crown thinning is when branches are carefully cut from the crown so more light can pass through the tree. It can also reduce wind resistance.
Crown lifting removes lower branches so people and vehicles can pass safely under the tree. Crown reduction, reductions and reduction work help manage height and spread while keeping a natural look.
A qualified tree surgeon will choose the safest method for the tree, garden and property.
Stump removal
If you have had tree felling or tree removal, it is usually best not to leave the stump in the ground. A stump can become a trip risk or take up useful garden space.
New shoots may grow from the stump, or the wood may rot and attract disease. Our professional stump removal service can remove these hazards.
We also provide stump grinding, which is a clean and practical stump removal option for many customers.
Aerial inspection of trees
Some tree problems cannot be seen from the ground and need an aerial inspection. Our experienced and fully qualified tree surgeons can inspect branches, cracks and decay higher in the tree.
This helps us decide whether pruning, tree surgery, cable bracing, reductions or removal is needed.
Our tree surgeons in Dundee use safe rope access and provide clear advice after the inspection.
Tree felling & removal
A tree may need to be removed if it is dead, dangerous, fallen or causing a risk to health and safety.
Tree felling, felling and tree removal in confined spaces should only be done by trained tree surgeons. Our team can use sectional dismantling and rope methods where access is limited.
We can also provide stump grinding, stump removal, site clearance and waste removed after the main tree work.

Frequently asked questions
about tree maintenance...
Tree maintenance is the care needed to keep trees healthy, safe and tidy. It can include pruning, trimming, crown reduction, deadwood removal, tree care checks and signs of damage or disease.
Most trees should be checked at least once a year. Some trees need care more often if they grow quickly, stand near buildings or have damaged branches.
Regular tree maintenance helps prevent fallen branches, improves tree health, supports healthy growth and keeps gardens safe and attractive.
The best time depends on the tree type. Many trees are pruned in late winter or early spring, while some should be pruned after flowering. Tree surgeons can advise.
Yes. Overgrown branches can touch roofs, gutters, windows, fences and power lines. Roots may also affect paths, walls and drains if the tree is too close.
Signs of an unsafe tree include dead branches, cracks, leaning, fungal growth, loose bark or branches hanging over paths. A professional tree inspection is best.
You may need permission if the tree is protected or in a conservation area. Check with your local council before major pruning, felling or removal work.
Crown reduction is when the height or spread of a tree is reduced with careful pruning. This helps maintain size, shape and safety.
Yes. Careful pruning, crown thinning, crown lifting or reductions can let more light into your garden without harming the tree.
Small, low branches may be safe to cut with the right tools. Large trees, high branches and dangerous trees should be handled by trained tree surgeons.
