About US

Expert Tree Surgery Professionals - Arborists

At The Blue Tree Company, we are dedicated tree surgery professionals, also known as arborists, who take immense pride in the cultivation, management, and study of trees. Our expertise often extends to working with large and complex trees that host valuable biodiversity, playing a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem. Although safety remains our utmost concern, we profoundly recognise the importance of every tree and the potential consequences of its removal. Our primary goal is to assess the safety and condition of your trees, always striving to retain them in their natural state whenever feasible. This may involve skillful pruning, adding structural support, or, when required, carrying out careful felling. We firmly believe that sometimes, the best approach is to do nothing at all. Whether you have a specific tree in need of expert care or seek proactive measures to prevent future issues with a group of trees, we are here to assist you. As a trusted tree surgery company in Hertfordshire, we serve public sector/local authorities, homeowners, and businesses alike. Contact us for expert advice and a no-obligation quote.
