Reviews
What Bolton customers say
Rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google by local customers.
“Messaged on Wednesday, got a call back more or less straight away, quoted less than everyone else and Friday morning 6 stumps are gone. Simon was great, super professional, tidy and thorough.”
“Saw Treelation working nearby. Very reasonable quote given, accepted and both tree stumps removed the same afternoon. Really nice guy. I can’t praise him enough.”
“Just an utterly perfect and seamless process — no hesitation in recommending.”
“I recently moved house and acquired conifers which were way too high and unruly. I am thrilled with the finish. Simon works incredibly hard and takes his time to ensure perfection.”
“Simon cut the hedge exactly to where I wanted it. He is always tidy and polite. He left the job spotless.”
“I have had Simon and his team working for me before. I highly recommend his very professional service.”

Good to know
Tree surgery questions we’re often asked
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Bolton?
Every job is different — the price depends on the size and type of tree, how easy it is to reach, whether it has to be taken down in sections over buildings, and whether you want the stump ground out. We give free, fixed written quotes so you know exactly what you’ll pay, with waste removal included.
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Bolton?
Only if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), stands in a conservation area, or is covered by a planning condition. We check this for you before any work starts and can help with the application to Bolton Council or Bury Council. See our TPO guide.
Are you qualified and insured?
Yes. Treelation’s tree surgeons hold City & Guilds NPTC qualifications and we carry full public liability insurance. We’re happy to show certificates when we visit.
Do you take the waste away?
Yes. All branches, logs and green waste are cleared away and recycled where possible, and we sweep and rake up before we leave. If you’d like to keep logs for a stove, just let us know.
When is the best time of year for tree work?
Most pruning and felling can be done all year round. Many deciduous trees are best pruned in late autumn and winter when they are dormant. In spring and summer we check carefully for nesting birds, which are protected by law, before cutting.
Do you offer an emergency call-out?
Yes. If a tree or large branch has come down on a house, car, fence or road, call Simon on 07786 433386. See our emergency tree service page.
What does a tree surgeon do?
A tree surgeon (also called an arborist) is a trained professional who cares for trees safely — pruning, reducing, felling and removing them, grinding out stumps, and dealing with storm damage. The work involves climbing, chainsaws and heavy machinery at height, so it should only be carried out by qualified, insured people.
At Treelation our team holds City & Guilds NPTC certificates of competence for chainsaw use and tree climbing, and we carry full public liability insurance. Before you hire any tree surgeon in Bolton, it’s worth asking to see both.
Choosing a tree surgeon in Bolton
- Qualifications: ask for NPTC / City & Guilds or Lantra certificates.
- Insurance: public liability cover should be in place before anyone climbs your tree.
- A written quote: including whether waste removal and stump grinding are included.
- Local knowledge: a local firm will know about Bolton Council’s TPOs and conservation areas.
- Reviews: check recent Google reviews from real local customers.
