Looking for a reliable tree surgeon in Crosby? James David Forestry Ltd covers the whole of L22 and L23 — from the mature canopies of Blundellsands and Brighton-le-Sands down through Waterloo, Seaforth and Thornton. Coastal weather off Crosby Beach hammers local trees, so reductions, deadwooding, hung-up limbs and full removals make up most of our diary here. Every job is carried out by our own NPTC-qualified climbers with our own chipper and stump grinder — no subcontractors, no surprises, fixed written quotes before we lift a saw.

Recent work in Crosby
A few of the jobs we've taken on locally — but this is just a snapshot, not a limit.
- Crown reductions on mature limes, beech and sycamores in Blundellsands (L23)
- Storm-damage and hung-up limb call-outs after coastal winds
- Leylandii and laurel hedge reductions for terraces in Waterloo (L22)

Most of Crosby sits within Sefton Council Conservation Areas — Blundellsands, Waterloo Park and Victoria Park in particular. Street trees and many front-garden trees are also protected by TPOs. We check the register, give the council the required 6 weeks notice for Conservation Area work, and only quote a start date once it’s cleared — all at no extra cost.
In-house climbers, own chipper, own grinder — no subcontractors on your Crosby job.

FAQs — Crosby
Which Crosby postcodes do you cover?
All of L22 and L23 — Waterloo, Brighton-le-Sands, Blundellsands, Little Crosby, Great Crosby, Thornton and Seaforth — plus nearby L20, L21 and L30 (Bootle, Litherland, Netherton).
How much does a tree surgeon in Crosby cost?
Small jobs like a hedge trim or a single garden tree typically start from £150–£250 plus VAT. Larger removals, climbing work or anything needing a MEWP are quoted in writing once we’ve seen photos or visited — and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Can you work on trees with a TPO or in a Conservation Area?
Yes. Most of Crosby is in a Sefton Conservation Area and many roadside trees carry TPOs. We check the register for free, submit the 6-week notice or TPO application on your behalf, and only schedule the work once permission is cleared.
Are you insured, qualified and reviewed?
Yes — £5m public liability, NPTC/Lantra qualified climbers, full PPE and chainsaw tickets. We’re a registered limited company (Companies House) with 5-star Facebook and Google reviews from Crosby and the wider Sefton area.
How quickly can you attend emergency or storm-damaged trees?
For dangerous, fallen or hung-up trees in Crosby we aim for same-day or next-day attendance. Call 0800 888 6301 day or night — if it’s blocking a driveway or leaning on a property we’ll prioritise it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Always. All brash is chipped on site, logs are stacked or taken away to your preference, and we sweep down before we leave. The only thing left on your Crosby driveway is a tidy garden.
How do I get a free quote for tree work in Crosby?
Easiest is to send a couple of photos and your postcode via WhatsApp or our quote form — we’ll come back same-day with a fixed price. Prefer in person? We’re happy to pop round for larger jobs.
