Wigan Tree Services

At Wigan Tree Services, we’ve been working hard in and around Wigan for more than two decades. We’re a friendly, experienced team that loves helping people keep their gardens and green spaces healthy, tidy, and safe. Trees are a beautiful part of any yard, but sometimes they need a little care – or even complete removal. That’s where we come in.

We offer a full range of tree care services in Wigan, including pruning, trimming, hedge cutting, stump removal, and full tree removal. No matter how big or small the job is, we’re here to help. We always give honest advice, fair prices, and work hard to make sure you’re happy with the results.

We’ve built our reputation on reliable service, skilled workmanship, and putting safety first. Many of our customers come back to us time and time again, and much of our work comes through word-of-mouth recommendations. That’s something we’re really proud of.

Why Hiring Professionals Is Better Than Doing It Yourself

We understand that when you see a tree that’s too tall, leaning oddly, or growing out of control, your first thought might be to grab a saw or clippers and try to handle it yourself. It might seem like a simple task – after all, it’s just cutting a few branches, right?

The truth is, tree work is much more dangerous and complex than it looks. What seems like a small weekend project can quickly turn into a serious problem if it’s not handled correctly. That’s why we always recommend hiring trained professionals like us, instead of trying to do it yourself.

Here’s why:

1. Falling Branches Can Be Extremely Dangerous

Branches may look light, but many of them are heavy and full of tension. Cutting the wrong branch or cutting it in the wrong place can cause it to fall in an unexpected direction – and fast. Even a medium-sized branch can cause serious injury if it falls on a person, a car, a fence, or a roof.

We’ve seen cases where people have tried to trim their own trees and ended up with broken bones, damaged cars, or worse. Some have even tried to cut branches while standing on ladders, which is very risky. A fall from just a few feet can cause serious harm.

Our team is trained in how to safely cut and lower branches using ropes, harnesses, and the right techniques. We know how to judge where a branch will fall, how to manage its weight, and how to control each cut. We always wear protective gear and work with full safety in mind – because no garden job is worth risking your health.

2. Trees Can Damage Property if Not Handled Correctly

It’s not just people who can get hurt – your home or garden can be damaged too. If a large branch falls the wrong way, it can break windows, damage roof tiles, crush fences, or even bring down power lines.

We’ve also seen DIY jobs where someone cut down a full tree without knowing which way it would fall. In some cases, the whole tree came down on a garage, car, or neighbour’s property. This can lead to expensive repairs, not to mention legal problems.

At Wigan Tree Services, we take the time to plan every job properly. We assess the size and shape of the tree, its location, and the risk to surrounding buildings or paths. We use the proper equipment to bring trees down safely, piece by piece if needed. Our goal is always to keep your property – and everyone on it – safe.

3. Tree Work Requires the Right Tools and Training

Most people don’t have professional tree-cutting tools at home. A basic handsaw or chainsaw from the shed might not be strong enough or sharp enough to do the job. Worse still, using a chainsaw without training is very dangerous. Chainsaws can kick back or slip if not handled correctly, leading to serious injuries.

We use high-quality, well-maintained tools designed for each specific task – from pruning shears and pole saws to stump grinders and rigging gear. But more importantly, we’re trained and experienced in how to use them safely. That makes a big difference when it comes to speed, quality, and safety.

4. We Handle Waste and Cleanup, So You Don’t Have To

Another thing people often forget is how much mess tree work can make. Once a tree or hedge has been cut, you’re left with loads of branches, leaves, and wood to deal with. Many councils charge to take green waste away, and it doesn’t fit easily in standard bins.

When you hire Wigan Tree Services, we take care of everything – not just the cutting. We’ll tidy up, remove all the waste, and leave your garden neat and clean. We recycle as much of the green waste as we can, so it’s good for your yard and the planet.

5. We’re Fully Insured and Qualified

When you hire a professional tree service like ours, you get more than just a job done – you get peace of mind. Wigan Tree Services is fully insured and qualified, so if anything unexpected happens (which is rare), you’re completely covered.

We also follow strict safety standards and best practices set out by industry bodies. We invest in regular training so that our team always stays up to date with safe working methods. Your safety – and the safety of your property – is always our top priority.

6. We Know How to Keep Your Trees Healthy

Not all tree work is about removal. In fact, many trees just need proper care – and cutting them incorrectly can do more harm than good. For example, cutting too much from the top can weaken the tree, make it unstable, or cause it to grow back poorly.

We know how to prune trees properly to encourage healthy growth, keep their natural shape, and avoid long-term problems. Our team understands how different tree species grow, how to spot signs of disease or decay, and how to manage trees without harming them.
