From individual specimens to whole-site clearance, our work is grouped into three areas. Tap a card to see the services in that category.
Structural tree work
Skilled, BS 3998-compliant work on the structure and form of mature trees — from controlled fellings to selective canopy work.
Controlled removal of trees that are diseased, unsafe, dying or no longer suited to their position. We section-fell where space is tight, work around buildings and services, and leave the site clean.
Selective removal of secondary branches throughout the canopy to increase light penetration and air movement, reducing wind loading without altering the tree's overall shape.
Reducing the height or spread of a crown by pruning back to suitable growth points. Often used to reduce shading, alleviate weight on weak limbs, or bring a tree back into proportion with its setting.
A long-term management technique that removes the upper branches to encourage a dense head of new growth — ideal for species like willow, lime and London plane in confined urban spaces.
Health, safety and shape
Routine and one-off pruning to keep trees healthy, attractive and safe — including hedgework, dead-wood removal and ongoing inspections.
Targeted pruning to remove crossing, rubbing or poorly placed branches, raise the canopy clear of buildings and pathways, and shape young trees as they establish.
Removal of dead, dying or diseased branches from the canopy. Improves the tree's appearance, reduces falling-limb risk and helps prevent decay spreading into healthy wood.
Ongoing care for the trees and hedges across your property — including periodic inspections, hedge cutting, rigging and lowering of large limbs, and dismantling of hazardous specimens.
Stumps, plots and aftermath
The work that happens after — or alongside — tree surgery: grinding out stumps, clearing overgrown plots, and removing all arisings from site.
Mechanical grinding of stumps below ground level so the area can be returfed, replanted or paved over. The remaining root mass is left to decay naturally in situ.
Clearing scrub, overgrown vegetation and accumulated arisings from gardens, plots and development sites. We chip what we can, recycle the rest, and leave a tidy finish.
From the first phone call to the final tidy-up, here’s exactly what to expect when you book PJC Tree Care.
Tree work feels like a big call to make. Here’s exactly what happens after you get in touch — no surprises, no jargon.
A real human — usually Peter — picks up. No call-centre, no menus.
Free walk-around at a time that suits you, so we can see what the work really needs.
Written, itemised, with timing options. No pressure, no surprises later.
BS 3998 method, £10M cover, and the site cleaner than we found it.
When space is tight, controlled rigging lets us remove sections with precision. It protects roofs, fences, lawns and everything else around the tree.
We inspect the tree, nearby structures, access, wind exposure and where each section can be lowered without risk.
The climber works from a secure position while the ground crew manages the lowering rope and keeps the drop zone clear.
Branches and stem sections are cut to a planned size, then guided down smoothly instead of being dropped.
Timber, brash and sawdust are dealt with properly, with paths, lawns and beds left neat before we leave.
Tree work changes with the seasons. This simple planner shows when different jobs tend to make the most sense across Buckinghamshire gardens.
A strong window for reductions, removals and heavier tree work, with less leaf cover and easier crown assessment.
Often useful for
Best booked before storm season peaks.
We inspect winter damage, plan careful pruning and check for wildlife constraints before work starts.
Often useful for
Wildlife checks come first during nesting season.
Ideal for hedge maintenance, clearance over paths and careful work that improves light, shape and access.
Often useful for
We keep cuts measured so plants recover cleanly.
A good time to remove deadwood, inspect large trees and deal with weak limbs before winter weather exposes them.
Often useful for
Useful for mature trees near homes, roads and gardens.
