TREE SURGERY & GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Oakland has been providing arboricultural services (tree management, maintenance, forestry and tree surgery) since 2006.

All trees and hedges near to a property need good management.  Working in harmony with Solihull MBC and other Local Authorities we fully understand the restrictions of Tree Preservation Orders (TPO's) and Conservation Areas. 

We work all the time in the community.  We want to protect our environment for the future.  So unlike other 'fly-by' businesses, to protect both you and us, we will ask the local planning team to check for any work restrictions. 

There is nothing we haven't tackled and we can advise and guide you through the process we will undertake.  Whether a crane, cherry picker or climbing the trees we can handle all situations.
​
(We can advise and submit planning applications for tree or hedge work if needed.)

Working in a major urban environment we understand the need to carry out the tasks in a safe manner to both life and property.

It's easy to take off a large bough or fell a complete tree.  It's a lot harder making sure it doesn't fall through a roof, the neighbours shed, new summer house or fence!  If crane work is needed then we'll arrange it all for you.

We take care.  We think things through and we work as a team with climbers and ground workers ensuring all aspects of safety are covered to ensure you, your family, your animals or business are protected.

NB Since we started in 2006 we have never had to claim on our Public Liability insurance.

​EMERGENCY WORK

We understand that waking up to a fallen tree that has smashed through a fence and neighbour's greenhouse sets the stomach churning!  Or a major bough that's fallen on your drive and just missed your car makes you wonder what else is coming down!

However, we'll always try and minimise the distress that's often caused when unforeseen events arise.  ​

Just a call to us and we'll take the problem on board.

We'll quickly form a team that's needed to minimise the problem bringing in crane hire if necessary.
