Green tree thinking for Cumbria, southern Scotland and the Borders and across northern England

At Nicol we talk about green tree thinking as we’re all about exploring what’s possible – the “thinking” – and then investing in the future health of your trees and woodlands – that’s the “green tree” part.

Together, we work with our clients to survey and to plan, to plant and to maintain, and, when necessary, to fell, thin and prune for healthy trees for years to come.

Nicol is home to a core team of tree surgeons, landscape management professionals and specialists in arboriculture. Our additional network of skilled contractors, equipment suppliers and advisers means that we can tackle projects of all scales and scopes, offering reliable advice, expert planning and professional implementation.

If you are looking for some green tree thinking for your tree challenges, please get in touch.

Contracting (Tree Care)

Whether it’s efficient tree dismantling, felling and site clearance, storm damage resolution or effective pruning and thinning, the Nicol team of tree specialists is available for your tree care needs. And, of course, we also design and implement native tree planting projects from nursery to independence in the landscape.

Consulting (Planning and Surveys)

From advice on protected trees and effective BS5837 planning submissions to tree risk assessments, arboricultural condition and management plans, the Nicol team can support you all the way. We offer you the specialist insights, surveys and reports that you need to create, develop, protect and maintain healthy trees and we do it all within your development parameters and local requirements.
