Our Services
Do you have an overgrown tree in your garden?”
Tree pruning & trimming or as some might call it crown thinning is a technique used by arborists and tree surgeons to improve the health,structure,look and safety of the tree without majorly altering its overall size or shape.
This service is generally recommended for broadleaf trees like oak, birch, cherry and sycamore.
The process behind crown thinning/tree pruning:
- Selecting and removing small branches around the crown (top, middle and bottom of the top of the tree where all the branches are).
- Focus on creating a uniform structure of big branches which are evenly spaced out.
- Dead, diseased, weak rubbing or crossing branches will be prioritised for removal.
Tree removal/tree felling might seem like a straight forward process to do yourself but when considering the dangers, safety and legal work, it is best left to professionals.
Dead or damaged trees can have a negative effect on your landscape but also contain a danger of sudden breakage and damage to surrounding properties.
Our professional tree surgeons are available for residential, commercial or industrial clients and projects. We have 20+ years of experience within the team to be able to safely and efficiently remove a tree at a reasonable cost to yourself.

A short FAQ on Tree Stump Grinding & Tree Stump Removal
Q- What is Tree Stump Grinding?
Tree Stump Grinding is using a specialist machine ( The Stump Grinder) to remove the stump and roots around the stump. Wood chipping are left over the site of the removal to rot down because if left a depression will occur, you can equally cover it with grass to incorporate it into the wider landscape.
Q- What is Tree Stump Removal?
Tree Stump Removal is a much more thorough undertaking which requires taking the stump and the roots out completely from the ground. The site of the tree stump needs to excavated to uncover every root to be removed. After this process the tree stump becomes easy to removed and is taken or winched out. The site is then restored with the soil that was taken away, filled and levelled
Is your hedge getting out of control? Blocking the pathway?

Most importantly we clear away the site afterwards, leaving it cleaner than we found it.

Benefits of regular Hedge Trimming:

A site clearance is an important step to finally get your project physically moving. The process can involve the removal of trees ,shrubs, vegetation and any other obstacles from the site to prepare it for any project whether it be for construction, infrastructure or land reclamation. Our team is trained to use a wide range of expect machinery for their site clearances and we follow all local environmental regulations and best practices to ensure minimal environmental impact.
A general contractor may offer site clearances, but ultimately they are not experts at removing debris or the disposal of large large trees nor are they trained arborists. You are setting yourself up for a visit from health and safety. Avoid this by hiring a team with the experience, qualifications and equipment to carry out the job properly.
The Process behind a Safe & Efficient Site Clearance
- Identifying the type and amount of debris: We’ll start by figuring out exactly what kind of debris we’re dealing with and how much there is. This helps us identify any potential hazards and ensures we have the right plan.
- Permits and Paperwork: We will do the permits ourselves to save you the hassle, checking with the local authorities to make sure all the permits and approvals are in place to begin carrying out work.
- Estimate the labour costs and equipment requirements: The number of workers and the equipment will be estimated to get a clearer picture with what the job will be carried out with to remove the debris as efficiently as possible.
- Safety First: We take safety seriously. Our crew is fully trained and experienced in using all the equipment required for tree and debris removal. We’ll also provide all the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, safety glasses, hard hats, and sturdy footwear to keep everyone safe on the job.

Your fence might look like it will go down with a light gust of wind but no worry, there is a solution!
Wooden fencing is a natural way to enhance your outdoor space and give your garden that clean look. Not only does it add privacy from your neighbours and security from intruders but different styles can be used for different purposes from open-picket fencing for your front garden to lattice-top privacy fences for that classical look added to your home.
Types of fences we have put up previously is a list:
- Heavy Duty Closeboard
- Larch Lap Fence Panels
- Contemporary Double Slatted Panels
- Contemporary Single Slatted Panels
- Curved Top Trellise Lattice Fencing
- Flat Top Trelisse Fencing
- Flat Top Interwoven Fence Panels
- Picket Fence Panels
- Modern Front Garden Fence
- Closeboard Front Garden Fence – 4FT
- Modern Aluminium Screen Fence
- Composite Fence
And if this isn’t enough we also install gates!
- Wooden Garden Gates
- Aluminium Garden Gates
- Composite Garden Gates
The process for installation of Fences & Gates:
- Planning and Design: The excitement comes first with picking of the fence! After that we will discuss the privacy, security and pet needs. The height and length will be decided.
- Local Regulations and Permits: We will take care of the Local Planning Authority to avoid them coming and asking to take it all back down again after your dream fence is built. If there is any digging to be undertaken we will ensure to mark any underground lines or pipes to avoid damage as per Permit to Dig permit.
- Building Process: After clearing away all the vegetation or obstacles, the old fence will be dismantled and taken away. New holes if required will be dug to set the posts and fill them in with concrete so they are steady for decades to come.The fence rails will be secured to the posts and the fence will start to really take shape once the panels are put on.
- Finishing Touches: There is a few extra pieces you might require for the fencing to be complete, sometimes an old fence might require a new gate and as mentioned we will install that for you. The fencing will need treatment for it to last longer, the treatment/stain soaks into the wood and colours it lasting much longer but paint overtime starts to crack, fade and peel away. We highly recommend applying the treatment once or twice and waiting for a long time before applying paint.
During the periods of extreme wind in Midlands, branches fall ,trees topple causing roads to be blocked and even property damage. Not only this can be annoying but also cause a safety concern. We understand the importance of clearing a problem quickly and efficiently.

We have had Hurst and Flynn Tree Care out to us twice in the last ten months. Great care and due diligence was taken on both occasions. They turned up... read more on time, worked hard all day, left on time, leaving everything clean and tidy, and they certainly took pride in their work.
