Tree surgery in Braintree
Braintree is west of Colchester along the A120, and we cover the town and the villages around it, including Bocking, Great Notley, Rayne, Black Notley and Silver End, as well as the villages between Braintree and Colchester.
Braintree has an older town centre and Bocking, with a mix of period houses, plus large estates and newer developments such as Great Notley. Many estate gardens now have trees and hedges that were planted small and have grown far bigger than expected.
Common work in Braintree includes reducing or removing trees that have outgrown their gardens, trimming and reducing conifer hedges, grinding out stumps and clearing overgrown gardens.
How fast we get to Braintree
Braintree is along the A120 from our Colchester base. The phone is answered 24/7 and every enquiry gets a same-day response. Dangerous and storm-damaged trees are made safe as a priority.

Common tree problems in Braintree
Estate trees now fully grown
Trees planted when the estates were built are now mature and often close to houses. Reduction keeps them where possible; removal with stump grinding is the fix where not.
Conifer hedges between neighbours
Leylandii boundaries are a common cause of neighbour disputes. We reduce them to a sensible height and keep them in shape.
Clay soil
Much of the area sits on heavy clay that shrinks in dry summers. Large trees near houses can add to movement, and we can advise on reduction or removal.
Older properties and conservation areas
Trees around the older parts of Braintree and Bocking may need consent from Braintree District Council. We check on the site visit.
How a Braintree job runs
Step 1
Free site visit
We come out and look at the tree or hedge in person, checking access, ground conditions and what sits underneath. The visit and quote are free, with no obligation.
Step 2
Assessment and consent check
We identify the species, its condition and the sensible option, whether that is to reduce, prune or remove. We also check whether the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area.
Step 3
Written price and agreed date
You get the price in writing, with the work set out clearly and waste removal included. Then we agree a start date.
Step 4
Controlled work on site
A 2–3 person team, a climbing team plus ground crew, carries out the work. Wherever anything sits beneath, limbs are rigged and lowered rather than dropped.
Step 5
Clear-up and walk-round
Waste, wood and chippings are removed and recycled, all included in the price. The site is swept, and we walk the job with you before we leave.

What local customers say
“James did an awesome job taking down four trees in my back garden. He was on time every day, very polite and professional, and his prices were extremely competitive as well. The quality of his work was excellent, and we are extremely happy with the final outcome. I would massively recommend this company and will definitely be using them again in the future. Without a doubt, one of the best around in Colchester!”
“Had a video pop up from Tree-Volution on my feed which made me finally think about getting a quote for the removal of a Holly tree. Rang the number, booked an appointment, and a couple of days later met James to discuss. Very affable guy and no BS! Had an indication of the cost there and then, with an agreement to review planning and get back to me. This was all followed through as discussed with today booked in for the work. James and the guys turned up as agreed - all extremely pleasant to deal with - and were wonderfully efficient in not only taking down the tree (and grinding out the root) but also taking the time to clean up afterwards! (Front garden now looks better than before they arrived). In addition James took the time to comment on the future care of other trees and we will definitely have him back to complete further work. Would thoroughly recommend!”
“James and his team gave a first class service, work carried out as instructed and they left the garden clean and tidy. Work was five star and they cut and shaped many trees. Did an amazing job on our conifer hedge. Thank you all for your fantastic work. Kindest regards Sally”
