Tree Advice
Independent, qualified advice on tree health, safety, pruning needs and neighbour disputes.
About Tree Advice
Sometimes you just need straightforward, qualified advice about a tree. Whether you're concerned about a tree's health, wondering about pruning needs, dealing with a neighbour dispute, or simply want an expert opinion before making a decision, Mike provides independent, practical advice you can trust.
As a qualified consulting arborist with a background in practical tree work, Mike can assess tree health, diagnose pest and disease issues, recommend appropriate pruning strategies, and advise on species selection and planting. His approach always prioritises tree retention where possible, offering remediation plans rather than unnecessary removal.
Tree disputes between neighbours can be particularly stressful. Mike provides independent, unbiased assessments that help both parties understand the situation clearly. Having a qualified expert opinion can be the key to resolving disagreements fairly and avoiding costly legal proceedings.
