Many trees in our area are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, especially in historic spots like Godmanchester or Kimbolton. You usually need to give Huntingdonshire District Council six weeks' notice before starting work. We can check the status of your trees and help with the paperwork to make sure everything stays legal.

These are different ways to manage a tree's size and health. Crown thinning removes smaller branches within the canopy to let more light and air through without changing the tree's overall shape. Crown reduction shrinks the height and spread of the tree, which is helpful if it is outgrowing its space. Crown lifting involves removing the lowest branches to create more clearance for people, cars, or lawnmowers.

Our stump grinding service typically removes the main stump to about 150mm to 300mm below ground level. This is deep enough to lay turf or install a new patio. If you want to plant another large tree in the exact same spot, let us know, as we will need to clear more of the lateral root system for you.

The soft peat and silt found around Ramsey and the wider Fens can cause paving to sink if the ground isn't prepared right. We use a thick, compacted layer of Type 1 aggregate over a membrane. This creates a stable "raft" that spreads the weight and prevents the slabs from shifting or becoming uneven over time.

For exposed gardens, we recommend closeboard (feather-edge) fencing. When paired with concrete posts and gravel boards, it is much stronger than standard lap panels. The concrete posts won't rot in the damp Cambridgeshire clay, and the heavy-duty timber slats can handle the high winds common in our part of the country.

General maintenance is best done in autumn or winter. Between March and August, we have to be very careful because of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, which protects nesting birds. We always check hedges for active nests before we start any major cutting during the spring and summer months.

Yes. Many new developments in Cambridgeshire sit on compacted clay that doesn't drain well, leading to a boggy lawn. Before laying fresh, weed-free turf, we can cultivate the soil, add drainage channels if needed, and incorporate topsoil to help the grass take root and stay healthy.

We provide regular visits to keep rental properties or commercial grounds looking tidy. This includes grass cutting, border weeding, hedge trimming, and clearing away all green waste. It is a reliable way to make sure your property stays in good condition and keeps its kerb appeal.

We use professional-grade jet washing equipment to remove deep-seated dirt, lichen, and moss. For block paving, we let the area dry and then brush in fresh kiln-dried sand to stabilse the blocks. We can also apply sealants to help protect the surface from future weather damage.
