Looking for a reliable tree surgeon in Liverpool? James David Forestry Ltd covers the whole city — from terraced gardens in Anfield, Toxteth and Wavertree to the leafy plots of Allerton, Woolton, Mossley Hill and Childwall. Tight alleyway access, trees leaning over neighbouring roofs, conservation-area paperwork — it's all everyday work for our in-house climbers. Every job is carried out by our own qualified climbers with our own chipper and stump grinder — no subcontractors, no surprises, and a fixed written quote before we lift a saw.

FAQs — Liverpool
Do you cover central Liverpool postcodes like L1, L3 and L8?
Yes — we work across all Liverpool postcodes from L1 through to L25. Tight city-centre access is normal for us.
My tree is in a Conservation Area — can you still help?
Yes. Much of South Liverpool sits inside Conservation Areas. We give the council the required 6 weeks notice before non-exempt work, free of charge as part of your quote. Whether permission is needed depends on the individual tree and its location.
How much does tree work cost in Liverpool?
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.
How quickly can you get out for storm damage?
For dangerous, fallen or hung-up trees in Liverpool we aim to attend same-day or next-day. Call 0800 888 6301 day or night — if it's blocking a driveway or leaning on a property we'll prioritise it.
Are you insured and qualified?
Yes — £5 million public liability cover, qualified climbers with full chainsaw tickets and PPE, and a registered limited company. We can send our insurance certificate before the job starts.
Will you clear everything away afterwards?
Always. All brash goes through the chipper, logs are stacked or taken away to your preference, and we sweep down before we leave.
Need a tree dealt with in Liverpool?
