Professional Tree Surgery & Tree Surgeons in the Forest of Dean & Gloucestershire
BFG Tree Surgery provides professional, fully insured tree surgery services throughout the Forest of Dean and Gloucestershire. We work with homeowners, commercial clients, and local authorities to deliver safe, reliable, and expert arboricultural work.
Our team carries out all types of tree surgery, from routine pruning and crown reduction to complex tree removal, emergency work, and large-scale site clearance. Each tree is assessed individually to ensure the correct methods are used, maintaining tree health where possible and safely removing trees when necessary.
We also provide stump removal services, hedge cutting and maintenance, and site & garden clearance as part of our comprehensive tree care services.
TREE FELLING AND REMOVAL
Tree pruning and crown reduction are used to manage tree size, reduce weight, and maintain structural integrity. This service is commonly required to reduce shading, manage overgrowth, and remove hazardous branches.
All pruning work is completed in line with BS3998 to maintain tree health and long-term safety.
TREE PRUNING & CROWN REDUCTION
Crown reduction and pruning help maintain tree structure, reduce weight and improve safety. All pruning work is carried out in accordance with BS3998 British Standards.
This service is ideal for managing overgrown trees, reducing shade, and removing dead or hazardous branches.
CROWN LIFTING & THINNING
Crown lifting increases clearance beneath trees for buildings, roads, footpaths, and driveways. Crown thinning selectively removes branches to improve light penetration and airflow while preserving the tree’s natural form.
These techniques are commonly used in residential gardens, commercial sites, and along access routes.
POLLARDING
Pollarding is a long-term tree management technique used to control the size of certain species. We carry out both initial pollarding and ongoing maintenance cycles, ensuring trees remain structurally safe and visually consistent.
STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL
Following tree removal, we provide professional stump grinding services across the Forest of Dean and Gloucestershire. Stumps are ground below ground level, allowing the area to be re-used or landscaped.
EMERGENCY TREE SURGERY
Emergency tree surgery is available for storm damage, fallen trees, or situations where trees present an immediate risk to people, property, or highways. We respond promptly and can work in coordination with local authorities where required.
Tree Surgery in Conservation Areas & TPOs
We have extensive experience carrying out tree work within conservation areas and on trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). We can advise on notification requirements, emergency exemptions, and liaise with local planning authorities when necessary.
