Beyond Tree Surgery: Our Capability for Larger-Scale Projects
When people think of arboriculture, traditional tree surgery is often the first thing that comes to mind. But for larger commercial sites, forestry operations and complex clearance projects, the requirements can extend far beyond individual tree work.
At Simpson Arboriculture, our capabilities have developed considerably since we were established in 2006. Today, we bring together arboriculture, mechanised tree work, forestry harvesting, vegetation management and large-scale site clearance within one established operation.
Supported by our own specialist machinery, in-house haulage and experienced team, this allows us to undertake projects ranging from individual trees through to substantial, technically demanding commercial works.
Bringing multiple capabilities together
Larger projects can involve several different stages of work. A site clearance project, for example, may require arboricultural work, mechanised felling and processing, vegetation clearance, timber extraction, haulage and the management of resulting materials.
Rather than these elements automatically requiring several different contractors, we can deliver a wide range of services using our own team, machinery and resources.
For our clients, this can make the overall project much simpler to manage. With fewer separate contractors to coordinate, there is clearer responsibility for the work, more straightforward communication and better continuity from one stage of the project to the next.
It also gives us greater control over scheduling, machinery and logistics, helping us to keep work moving efficiently as a project progresses.
More than having the right machinery
Specialist machinery has transformed what can be achieved safely and efficiently within modern arboriculture, forestry and site clearance. However, capability is about much more than simply owning the equipment.
Our investment in machinery has developed alongside the knowledge and experience of our team. Since Simpson Arboriculture was established in 2006, we have steadily expanded the scale and range of work we undertake, building practical experience across arboriculture, forestry and mechanised operations.
This combination of equipment and expertise enables us to select an appropriate approach for each site rather than simply applying the same method to every project.
Our fleet allows us to mechanise work where appropriate, process and handle significant volumes of material, work efficiently across larger areas and manage the movement of timber and other materials as part of the wider operation.
With our own plant and in-house haulage available, we are also less reliant on bringing in external resources for different stages of a project.
From individual trees to large-scale projects
Being able to undertake larger projects does not mean leaving conventional arboriculture behind. Instead, our broader capability has developed from the arboricultural knowledge and experience at the heart of the business.
As an ARB Approved Contractor, we have the people, accreditation, equipment and experience required to deliver professional arboricultural work, while our wider forestry and mechanised capabilities allow us to take that expertise onto considerably larger and more complex sites.
Depending on the requirements of a project, our work can include:
- Commercial arboriculture and tree surgery
- Mechanised tree felling and processing
- Forestry harvesting
- Vegetation management
- Large-scale site clearance
- Timber extraction and handling
- In-house haulage and transport
Bringing these services together means we can look at a project as a whole, considering how each stage fits into the next and planning the work accordingly.
A well-organised operation from start to finish
For commercial clients, capability is not only about what happens on site. Reliable planning, organisation and communication are just as important, particularly when work involves multiple stages, specialist machinery or other contractors working around the project.
We aim to provide clear communication throughout, from the initial discussions and planning through to completion. Our team works closely with clients to understand the requirements and constraints of each site, organise the necessary resources and keep them informed as the work progresses.
Ultimately, our aim is straightforward: to provide clients with one capable and dependable contractor who can take responsibility for a much wider scope of work.
Over the years, Simpson Arboriculture has grown beyond the capabilities of a conventional tree surgery contractor. By bringing together experienced people, professional accreditation, specialist machinery, haulage and a broad range of services, we are equipped to deliver everything from individual tree works to substantial commercial, forestry and site clearance projects — all within one established operation.
