Tree Surgery · Perthshire
Looking for tree surgeon in Perthshire?
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.
Perthshire is known for its trees, and many gardens here contain genuinely large mature specimens — Douglas fir, Scots pine, beech, lime and cedar — that were planted as part of Victorian estate landscaping. Sheltered valley sites grow fast and dense, while higher ground around Crieff and the Highland edge is colder and wetter, with a shorter growing season that affects turfing timings and lawn establishment.
Tree Preservation Orders are widespread in Perthshire, and Perth, Crieff and Auchterarder all have conservation areas where notification is required before work. We handle those checks with Perth and Kinross Council as part of quoting. Larger estate properties often involve access over grass or gravel, so we plan machinery routes to avoid rutting and leave ground as we found it.
We cover Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff, Auchterarder, Scone, Coupar Angus, Dunkeld and the villages in between, and you can read more about our wider work on our Perthshire page or the full tree surgery guide.
If the job goes further than this, we also handle Landscaping Perthshire.

- Tree removal — Full 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 pruning — Targeted 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 thinning — Reducing the overall height and spread, or thinning the canopy, to bring light back into a garden and take weight off longer limbs.
- Stump grinding — Grinding 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 Perthshire 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 Perthshire jobs: reductions and dismantling of large estate conifers, restoring overgrown driveways and beech avenues, and full landscaping schemes on rural properties with long approaches.

What customers say
Reviews from our Facebook page
“Friendly service, hard working lads and gets the job done. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.”
“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.”
