Prestwich's older Victorian and Edwardian houses often have big oaks, beeches, limes and sycamores in the garden, sometimes very close to the house. These trees are often worth keeping, so we usually start by looking at whether a crown reduction, thinning or deadwooding will solve the problem before recommending removal. Where a tree does need to come down, we dismantle it in sections so nothing lands on roofs or walls.

Some trees in Prestwich are protected by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation areas. We check with Bury Council before any work.
