TreeStation provides arboriculture, woodland management, and land services across Greater Manchester and the North West. We are an ARB Approved Contractor, carry £5M public liability insurance, and work to BS 3998:2010. As a community-owned social enterprise, every penny of profit goes back into training, jobs, and green spaces in Manchester.
Tree Surgery
Whether you need a branch taken back from your roof or a large urban tree safely dismantled, our team handles the full range of domestic and commercial treework. We carry crane-equipped vehicles for difficult removals and offer a rapid-response emergency service.
Woodland Management and Forestry
We write and deliver management plans that keep woodlands healthy, productive, and biodiverse. From thinning and coppicing to timber harvesting and grant applications, we handle the paperwork and the chainsaw work so you do not have to.
Consultancy and Surveys
Planning an extension, buying a house with big trees, or managing a public site? Our Principal Consultant carries out tree safety inspections, BS 5837 surveys for planning applications, and homebuyer reports, then works directly with our tree surgery team to implement recommendations without delay.
Landscaping and Gardens
Our landscaping team, led by a former Arboretum Team Leader at Kew Gardens, designs and builds gardens from scratch or reshapes what you already have. We handle hard landscaping (paths, walls, fencing) and soft landscaping (planting, turfing, hedges), and we use our own sustainably produced woodchip and timber products to keep costs down and waste at zero.
Site Clearance and Stump Grinding
If you are preparing land for development or need a neglected site brought under control, we have the heavy plant and disposal facilities on-site to clear vegetation, grind stumps, and leave you with a clean footprint. All arisings are recycled at our yard, not sent to landfill.
Ecology and Invasive Weed Control
Japanese knotweed on a development site? Need a Phase 1 habitat survey before planning? Our NPTC-qualified ecologists carry out surveys for protected species and habitats, then manage invasive weeds to the letter of current legislation. Initial site visits are free.
For Contractors and Trade Customers
We offer plant hire, subcontracting, and contract chipping services for other arboricultural and construction firms.
