Working across Angus
Angus is a wide, largely rural county and our work here reflects that. We cover Arbroath, Carnoustie, Forfar, Brechin, Kirriemuir and Montrose, along with the farms, cottages and glen properties in between. Jobs are often larger than in the cities — long boundary hedges, shelter belts, roadside trees and full garden clearances on properties where a paddock or field edge meets the lawn.
The coastal strip from Carnoustie up to Montrose is windswept and salt-exposed, and shelter planting takes a beating over winter. Inland towards Forfar, Kirriemuir and the mouths of the Angus glens the ground is more sheltered and fertile, with substantial mature hardwoods and long-established beech and hawthorn boundaries that need regular management to stay dense rather than gappy at the base.
Rural Angus properties usually have good access for machinery, which keeps costs down on larger jobs — but they also bring more overhead line proximity, livestock fencing and roadside safety to plan around. Conservation areas in Montrose, Brechin and Kirriemuir and protected trees on older properties mean we still check with Angus Council before any tree work that might be restricted.

On the ground in Angus
A snapshot of the kind of work we are asked to do most often in this part of Scotland.
Carnoustie · Tree Surgery
A row of mature conifers sheltering a coastal cottage had thinned badly on the seaward side and two were starting to rock at the base. We removed the two unstable trees completely, reduced and reshaped the remainder into a tighter screen, and chipped the arisings on site for the owner to use as mulch.
Forfar · Garden Clearance
A quarter-acre garden attached to a smallholding had been left for several years — self-seeded sycamore, bramble banks and an old collapsed fence line running through the middle. We felled the self-seeded trees, cleared the scrub and pulled out the rotten fencing, leaving clean open ground ready for the owner's planting plans.
Arbroath · New Lawns & Turfing
The builders had left a compacted, rubble-strewn back garden on a new estate. We picked out the debris, brought in screened topsoil to build up the levels, firmed and graded the ground, then laid fresh turf with a gentle fall away from the house. It rooted well and was being mown within a month.

What customers say
“Lee and team did a garden clearance for me after moving into a property with a pretty neglected garden, including a pretty hefty ivy growth on the back of the house. They did an absolutely cracking job of clearing all the growth, the ivy, some unexpected branch piles and taking away all the rubbish. Did in a day what would have taken me many days to do myself. Also got some great advice on the next steps of bringing the garden back to life.”
“Had Lee and team lay a patio and path. Work was done in a good manner and to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy and nothing was too much hassle. Thanks Mr McDonald.”
“I can’t recommend this landscaping business enough! They turned our overgrown garden into exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything tidy when they finished. Great value for money and really friendly service – will definitely be using them again.”
