Expert Tree Care & Pruning Services
Forbes Tree Care is a family-owned team of tree surgeons and arborists looking after gardens, streets and commercial sites across Barnet. Since 2010, we’ve helped North London homeowners keep their trees healthy, well shaped and in proportion with their outdoor space, with every job carried out by fully insured, qualified arborists.
Searching for Professional Tree Surgeon Services in Barnet?
Well-pruned trees stay in proportion, let in more light and look their best for years.
Most people call us because a tree has simply outgrown its space.
Pruning brings it back into proportion with your garden and lets more light reach your lawn, windows and borders, and your neighbour’s too.
Careful pruning keeps a tree healthy and attractive too. We remove dead, diseased or dangerous branches and manage a tree’s size, which helps keep root growth in check.
Our Barnet tree surgeons are fully trained and insured, and every cut follows British Standard BS 3998 for tree work, so it’s made safely and in the right place for the tree.
Discover the Rich Variety of Trees in Barnet
Barnet boasts a diverse range of trees, including majestic oak, elegant beech, graceful ash and vibrant birch.
We know Barnet’s trees well, including mature oaks and beeches, ash and birch, and we tailor our care to each species and each garden. We always try to retain a tree before felling it.
We work across Chipping Barnet, High Barnet, New Barnet, East Barnet and Friern Barnet, the EN4 and EN5 postcodes, and neighbouring Whetstone, Totteridge, Mill Hill and Cockfosters. Around Hadley Green, Friary Park and Oak Hill Park, the area is full of mature trees worth looking after.
