Tree Services in Morley
Birstall Tree Services offers tree services across Morley and south Leeds: tree removal, tree surgery and pruning, stump grinding, hedge cutting and conifer work, site clearance, and fencing and gates.
Tree removal in Morley
Some trees simply outgrow the garden. Others lean, split in a storm or block the light from the house. Whatever the reason, we take them down safely and leave you with a clear, tidy space.
In most gardens there is no room to drop a tree in one piece, so it comes down in sections. A climber works from the top down on ropes, cutting the tree into pieces that can be lowered under control, clear of roofs, fences, greenhouses and the neighbours’ gardens. The branches are chipped and the wood taken away, and the stump can be ground out afterwards if you want the ground back.
We take down
- Large and small trees
- Conifers, single or in rows
- Storm-damaged trees
- Trees too close to the house
How it is done

Tree surgeon for pruning and reductions
Not every tree needs to come down. A tree that has grown too tall, spreads over the boundary or blocks the light can often be cut back instead, keeping the tree but bringing it back to a size that suits the garden.
Our tree surgeons climb into the crown to prune, reduce the height or spread, take back branches hanging over the house or the neighbours, and shape trees that have grown lopsided. We agree with you beforehand exactly how much comes off, then cut to that point and clear every branch away.

Stump grinding and stump removal
A stump left behind after a tree comes down gets in the way of mowing, can sprout again and takes up space you could use. Grinding it out is the quickest and cleanest way to get rid of it.
Our tracked stump grinder grinds the stump and its main roots down below the ground, turning them into chippings, so the spot can be filled with soil and turfed or planted. We can grind out the stump on the same visit as the tree removal, or come back for stumps left by someone else.

- Stumps from our own removals
- Old stumps left by others
- Conifer and hedge stumps
- Several stumps at once
Afterwards
- Chippings or soil to fill
- Ready to turf or plant
- No digging out by hand
- Area left tidy
Hedge cutting, conifer and shrub work
Conifer hedges grow fast and, left alone, soon tower over the garden and the house next door. We take them down to a sensible height, trim the faces back and shape the top, including the neighbour’s side where you have agreed it with them.
We also cut back laurel, holly and other overgrown bushes, remove shrubs and thorny growth that have got out of hand, and take out conifers and hedging altogether when you would rather have the space. All the cuttings are shredded and taken away.

Site and Garden Clearance
Overgrown gardens and plots cleared of trees, scrub and brambles, ready for what comes next.
Site clearance and overgrown gardens
When a garden or a plot of land has been left to grow wild, it needs clearing before anything else can happen. We clear trees, scrub, brambles, overgrown shrubs and hedging, for homeowners and businesses alike.
We also look after larger areas of ground that need regular cutting back. Tell us what you want the space to be used for afterwards, whether a new lawn, a build or simply a tidy garden, and we will clear it with that in mind.
We clear
- Overgrown gardens
- Scrub, brambles and saplings
- Plots before building work
- Larger areas of ground
For
- Homeowners
- Business clients
- Larger plots
- Regular upkeep
Fencing and Gates
Strong new garden fences and gates, often put up once the trees along a boundary are cleared.
Fencing and gates
As well as tree work, we design, build and put up new fencing and gates. It often makes sense to do both at once: when trees or a conifer hedge come out along a boundary, a new fence gives you back the privacy.
We replace fences that have fallen in the wind or rotted at the posts, and put up new runs along whole boundaries, with gates to match. Tell us what you need it to do, whether privacy, keeping pets in or simply looking smart, and we will price it for you.
