Tree Surgery · Dundee

Local tree surgery you can rely on

Tree surgery covers everything from a light crown lift on a garden birch to the safe sectional dismantling of a large, failing conifer beside a house. We work for homeowners, landlords, farms and estates across Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire, dealing with trees that have outgrown their space, become unsafe, or simply need shaping so more light reaches the garden. Every job is planned around access, the health of the tree and the safety of everything around it, from greenhouses and fences to overhead cables and neighbouring property in Scotland's older residential streets.

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.

We cover Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Invergowrie, Dundee West End and the villages in between, and you can read more about our wider work on our Dundee page or the full tree surgery guide.

Tree Surgery carried out by LM Trees & Landscaping in Dundee
  • Tree removalFull felling where there is space to drop the tree safely, or careful sectional dismantling with ropes and rigging in tight gardens where a straight fell is not an option.
  • Tree pruningTargeted removal of dead, diseased, crossing or storm-damaged limbs to improve the health and shape of the tree without stripping it back unnecessarily.
  • Crown reduction and thinningReducing the overall height and spread, or thinning the canopy, to bring light back into a garden and take weight off longer limbs.
  • Stump grindingGrinding the remaining stump below ground level so the area can be turfed, planted or paved rather than left with a trip hazard and regrowth.

Why Dundee homeowners choose us

Tree work is the part of garden maintenance where getting it wrong is genuinely dangerous. We are fully insured, work to recognised safe working practices, and use proper climbing and rigging techniques rather than shortcuts. Just as importantly, we care about how the tree looks afterwards — a good reduction should look natural, not butchered, and should leave the tree in a healthier condition than we found it.

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.
