Our Story
Built On A
Love Of The Work.
My name is Lee and I've owned my tree surgery business for 7 years. Before that I was already working in the industry — 15 years' experience in total. We're a close-knit team of three, occasionally four. We love the work we do and take real pride in keeping trees healthy in the area.
I started Gildergreen because we have the capability to cover every aspect of tree surgery — climbing, felling, stump grinding, crown work, hedge trimming, clearances and firewood — and I wanted to offer a professional, friendly service at a fair price, without the corners most outfits cut.
We turn up when we say we will, treat your property like it's our own, and all of the by-product from our work is recycled — turned into biomass energy and seasoned firewood, so nothing goes to landfill.
