From one awkward branch to the whole tree
No job is too big or too small. We prune a single branch that is over the shed, reduce a tree that has taken the light from the garden, or remove one that has become dangerous.
Branches, logs and waste go with us when we leave, unless you would like to keep the wood.

Protected trees in Paisley
Four of Renfrewshire’s eight conservation areas are in Paisley: Castlehead, Greenlaw, Thornly Park and Paisley Town Centre. Trees inside them are protected, and it is an offence to work on them without the council’s consent.
If your home is in one of those areas, contact Renfrewshire Council before any tree work is carried out.
Trees with a Tree Preservation Order need a permission application to the council first. The council publishes a list and a map of its orders.
This is a general guide, checked against the council’s own pages in October 2026. Rules and boundaries change, so confirm with Renfrewshire Council before booking work.
