Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our tree services in Glasgow and West Scotland, answered by our qualified tree surgeons and arborists
How much do tree services cost in Glasgow?
Tree service costs vary significantly depending on work requirements and site conditions throughout Glasgow and Central Scotland. Tree surgeon hourly rates typically start from £40+ per hour for qualified professionals, with comprehensive residential projects ranging from £300-£500 including VAT. Tree removal costs generally range from £150-£350 for standard 20ft trees, whilst stump removal ranges from £50-£300+ depending on size, access difficulty, and disposal requirements.
Factors affecting costs include tree size and species, access difficulty, proximity to buildings and utilities, disposal requirements, and work complexity. Emergency callouts and specialist equipment such as cranes increase costs but provide essential safety and efficiency benefits. We provide detailed, free quotations for all work ensuring transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Our competitive rates reflect professional expertise whilst delivering exceptional value around Glasgow, Stirlingshire, West and Central Scotland.
Do I need permission to cut down trees in my garden?
You may need permission depending on your tree's protection status and location within Glasgow or surrounding areas. Trees with Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) require council consent with applications typically taking 8 weeks to process. Unauthorised work on TPO trees can result in unlimited fines, with previous cases seeing penalties up to £20,000 or more for serious breaches.
Properties in conservation areas require 6 weeks notice for any tree work exceeding certain thresholds. We can check TPO status through local authority databases, handle all applications professionally, and ensure full compliance with regulations. Our extensive experience with Glasgow City Council, Renfrewshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, and surrounding local authorities ensures smooth permission processes when required. Professional guidance prevents costly legal complications whilst protecting valuable trees appropriately.
When is the best time for tree work?
Late winter and early spring (November to March) provide optimal conditions for most tree work as trees remain dormant and bird nesting season restrictions don't apply. However, timing varies significantly by species - cherry trees should be pruned in summer to prevent silver leaf disease, whilst fruit trees benefit from winter pruning for optimal spring growth.
Emergency work for safety can be carried out year-round with appropriate precautions and wildlife considerations. We avoid non-emergency work during bird nesting season (March-August) to comply with Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 requirements protecting nesting birds. Species-specific timing ensures optimal tree health outcomes whilst regulatory compliance prevents legal complications. Our expertise guides optimal scheduling for each tree type and situation.
Do you provide free quotes for tree work?
Yes, we provide comprehensive free quotations for all domestic and commercial tree work across our Central Scotland service area including Glasgow, Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Stirling, and surrounding communities. Our qualified arborists assess your trees on-site, explain work requirements clearly, and provide detailed written quotes with no obligation whatsoever.
We believe in transparent pricing and take time to explain all aspects of proposed work, timing considerations, regulatory requirements, and ongoing maintenance recommendations. Our quotations include complete breakdowns of work requirements, safety measures, waste disposal, and site restoration. Emergency callouts may have different arrangements, but standard assessments and quotations are always provided free of charge throughout our coverage area.
What's included in your tree service visits?
Our complete service includes initial professional assessment by qualified arborists, comprehensive safety checks and risk assessments, coordination of any required permissions or notifications, professional tree work using certified equipment and techniques, complete site cleanup and waste removal, and detailed aftercare advice for ongoing tree health and property protection.
We protect your property throughout work completion, coordinate with neighbours when necessary, and ensure all work meets current British Standards and local authority requirements. Our service includes disposal of all waste materials through appropriate licensed routes supporting environmental responsibility. Site restoration ensures your property remains clean and tidy with minimal disruption to normal activities.

What Our Clients Have Said About Us
Jackie Breen
From the first time getting in touch with Callum, the service was fantastic, he came out gave us a great quote and was able to do the job very quickly. The boys that came to carry out the work were professional, friendly and worked non stop to get the job done, they were so careful with machinery on the property as well and left the garden and paths spotless before they left. I would highly recommend them.
Alan
Callum and his team arrived on the agreed day & time, carried out the tree felling with impeccable professionalism and cleared up after. The work was done at the quoted price and they were very pleasant guys with no bad language. I highly recommend CNJ and I will certainly be using Callum and his 5 star tree fellas again.
Robin Campbell
Callum and his team felled four 40-foot+ trees in our garden, facing particular challenges (2 trees hanging over our LPG tank, one menacing a precious rhododendron). They worked incredibly hard, were great to deal with and we would thoroughly recommend them.
