Essex Tree Brothers who have done work at my property several times before and have today trimmed the conifers in my back garden again. I have to say the three young men who did the job were efficient, hard working and made a perfect job of making my conifers look neat once again. The men were polite, checked with me that I was happy with the work done before paying and as always they left my garden in a tidy state. Thank you Essex Tree Brothers, I highly recommend you!!Posted on Debbie CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The ETB did a fantastic job for us taking down our large oak tree. The team were on time , polite, friendly and highly skilled . They left no mess . We have no hesitation in recommending this marvellous team for any tree related work you need doing !Posted on Dawn P-LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of having Joey, Lucy and Fred come to reduce and reshape our Cotoneaster tree, that had become seriously unruly. They were very polite, professional and really listened to how we wanted her shaped. They regularly checked in, to make sure we were happy with their progress, and made any adjustments we wanted. They even made sure that all the branches/cuttings, even the berries, were removed from both our driveway and our neighbours. They really helped alleviate our fears of killing the tree off, and she's looking so much better now. I'm really looking forward to seeing how she grows back. Thank you for your hard work guys, and for helping me give our tree a name - 'Treesa' looks fab with her new haircut 🤣. Would definitely use again, and 100% recommend Essex Tree Brothers!

Regular tree inspections are an essential part of managing risk across housing association land.
Our professional tree surveys provide detailed reports covering tree condition, risk category, recommended actions and priority levels. Reports can be used to demonstrate compliance, support insurance requirements and help asset managers prioritise maintenance budgets.
Where development projects are planned, we can also provide BS5837 surveys and associated arboricultural reports.
Storm damage, fallen trees and dangerous branches can create significant safety risks on housing estates.
Our emergency tree work service provides rapid response support across Essex to make trees safe and minimise disruption. Fast action can help protect residents, vehicles, buildings, footpaths and communal infrastructure following severe weather or unexpected tree failures.
Where trees become dangerous, diseased or structurally unsound, safe removal may be necessary.
We carry out tree felling and removal across housing association estates using qualified operatives and specialist equipment. Our team regularly assists housing associations with the management of ash dieback, which is affecting significant numbers of mature ash trees throughout Essex.
Tree stumps left in communal areas can create trip hazards, reduce accessibility, and negatively impact the appearance of estates.
Our stump grinding and stump removal service completely removes unwanted stumps, allowing the area to be reinstated for grass, landscaping, or future planting.
We can advise housing associations on the most suitable approach depending on the species, location, and intended future use of the area.
Routine pruning and crown reduction help maintain healthy trees while reducing risks to nearby buildings, roads, parked vehicles and pedestrian routes.
Our team provides professional crown management services that balance tree health with the practical needs of estate management.
Many trees located on housing association land may be protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs).
Before any works are undertaken, we carry out all necessary checks and can manage applications with local authorities on behalf of housing associations. This ensures all works remain compliant with current legislation and local planning requirements.
