Working across Dundee
As a local tree and landscaping team, we cover Dundee and the communities immediately around it, including Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Invergowrie and the West End. The city has a real mix of garden types: compact terraced plots off the Perth Road, larger Victorian and Edwardian gardens in the West End and Broughty Ferry with mature specimen trees, and newer estates on the northern edge of the city where hedges and lawns are the main work.
Dundee's older suburbs hold some genuinely large mature trees — beech, lime, sycamore and pine planted when the villas were built — and these often need reduction or deadwooding rather than removal. Gardens sloping towards the Tay catch the wind coming up the estuary, and the sandier ground in parts of Broughty Ferry and Monifieth drains quickly, which affects both lawn establishment and which turf we recommend.
Several parts of the West End, Broughty Ferry and Newport-adjacent streets fall within conservation areas, and protected trees are common on the older villa plots. We confirm protected status with Dundee City Council before starting. Space is the other constraint — many city gardens have no side access, so large trees are dismantled in sections and taken out through the house side or over walls with proper protection in place.

Recent work in Dundee
Typical Dundee jobs: sectional dismantling of oversized conifers in tight city gardens, hedge reductions on long boundary runs in Broughty Ferry, and artificial grass in small, shaded back gardens where real lawn will not thrive.

On the ground in Dundee
A snapshot of the kind of work we are asked to do most often in this part of Scotland.
Broughty Ferry · Tree Surgery
A thirty-year-old leyland cypress had outgrown a terraced back garden and was pressing against the extension roof. With no route for machinery, we climbed and dismantled it in rigged sections, carried every piece out through the protected side passage, and ground the stump below soil level ready for replanting.
Dundee West End · Artificial Grass
A north-facing back court behind a Victorian tenement conversion held nothing but moss and mud for most of the year. We stripped the failed turf, installed a compacted free-draining base and laid a dense mid-pile artificial grass with a clean edge against the paving — the space now stays usable through the Tayside winter with no mowing.
Monifieth · Hedge Maintenance
Roughly forty metres of mature beech along a garden boundary had gone uncut for three seasons and was spreading over the path. We took it back to a tight, even line, trimmed the top to a consistent height and cleared every cutting — it now gets a single tidy each autumn to keep the density.

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.”
