Tree Surgeon in Penrith & Across Cumbria - Professional Tree Surgery by an Experienced, NPTC-Qualified Arborist

Professional Tree Surgery Services

Proper pruning improves the health, appearance and longevity of your trees.

Every tree is different, which is why pruning should never be approached with a one-size-fits-all mindset. Using industry-approved techniques, I carry out crown reductions, crown thinning, crown lifting, deadwood removal and formative pruning to encourage healthy growth while maintaining the natural shape of each tree.

Whether you're improving light levels, removing hazardous branches or maintaining a valued feature tree, every cut is made with the long-term health of the tree in mind.

EMERGENCY TREE WORK

Old tree stumps can become trip hazards, attract pests and prevent future landscaping projects.

Using professional stump grinding equipment, I can remove unwanted stumps quickly and efficiently, allowing you to replant, lay turf, build fencing or simply enjoy a cleaner garden.

Cumbria's weather can quickly create dangerous situations.

Strong winds, heavy snow and storms can leave trees unstable or bring large branches crashing down without warning. If you have a tree that's become dangerous following severe weather, I offer a prompt emergency response to make the area safe and minimise further damage wherever possible.

HELLO, I'm Martyn!

I'm Martyn, the owner of Wild About Trees. Although the business has been proudly serving customers for the past two years, I bring over 15 years of professional tree surgery experience to every job. Throughout my career, I've worked with homeowners, businesses, farms, estates and local organisations across Cumbria, helping them manage, maintain and safely remove trees of every size.

Trees are an important part of our landscape, adding beauty, character and value to our homes and communities. They also require specialist care to remain healthy and safe. Whether you need a mature tree carefully pruned, a dangerous tree safely removed, a stump ground out or emergency assistance following storm damage, you can rely on Wild About Trees for honest advice, professional workmanship and a service you can trust.

Every job is completed with safety, respect for your property and attention to detail. From your first enquiry through to the final clean-up, my aim is to provide a friendly, reliable service that leaves both you and your garden looking its best.

Tree Care Tailored to Cumbria

Tree Care Tailored to Cumbria

Cumbria is home to some of the UK's most beautiful landscapes. From mature oak and beech trees to conifers, fruit trees and ornamental gardens, every tree presents different challenges.

Working across Penrith and the surrounding areas has given me valuable experience dealing with the unique conditions our local trees face, including storm damage, ash dieback, restricted access and protected trees.

Wherever possible, I always aim to preserve healthy trees through careful maintenance. However, when removal is the safest option, I'll explain exactly why and discuss the best approach before any work begins.

Safety Comes First

Tree surgery is one of the most hazardous professions in the UK, which is why every job begins with a careful assessment of the tree and its surroundings.

Before work starts, I'll explain exactly what's required, identify any potential risks and discuss the safest method of carrying out the work.

Protecting people, property and the health of your trees is always my highest priority.

Frequently asked questions!

How much does tree surgery cost?

Every tree is different, so costs vary depending on size, location, access and the work required. I provide free, no-obligation quotations with clear pricing and honest advice.

Do I need permission to remove a tree?

Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or are located within Conservation Areas. If permission is needed, I'll explain the process and help you understand the next steps before any work is carried out.

What happens to the branches and wood?

All green waste can be removed and recycled responsibly. If you'd like to keep logs or woodchip for your own use, I'm happy to leave them with you and can reduce the cost significantly.

When is the best time to prune a tree?

The ideal time depends on the species and the reason for pruning. I'll always recommend the most appropriate time of year to achieve the best results while maintaining the tree's health.

Do you provide emergency call-outs?

Yes. If a tree has become dangerous following storms or high winds, contact me as soon as possible and I'll respond as quickly as I can.

"Martyn was absolutely brilliant, would recommend him to all. He took down a very large tree that was overhanging a greenhouse, a fence, and a shed. No damage at all and it was done with minimal fuss and mess. Very impressive work and it was done in only half a day and at a very fair price. Arranging with Martyn to get the work done was really easy and he was professional and kept to his word and dates/times all the way through. A very professional job and we very much felt like we were in safe hands throughout 👍🏻 thanks again Martyn"
