T&LC have extensive experience working in the public sector. We understand the rules, safety requirements, and budget pressures that councils deal with. Due to this, we adapt our services to meet each authority’s needs.

We work closely with councils to help them reach their environmental and sustainability goals. Good communication is at the heart of how we operate.

Our aim is to deliver high-quality services that put public safety first. We also focus on ethical and sustainable working practices. This includes responsible green-waste disposal, using pet-friendly products, and reducing pesticide use whenever possible.

We care about the overall health of public spaces. By maintaining these areas properly, we help create safe, attractive places for local communities. Our work also supports biodiversity and improves ecological value.

At T&LC, we aim to be a dependable partner for councils, helping improve public safety and the environment through professional and thoughtful tree surgery and grounds maintenance services.

Highway tree management

Our expertise in highway tree management focuses on ensuring the safety and integrity of trees adjacent to roadways.

Our staff are qualified to conduct thorough tree surveys to identify potential hazards, such as diseased or overgrown trees that could obstruct visibility or damage infrastructure.

We are able to use these surveys to create proactive maintenance plans that aim to keep highways clear of dangerous tree growth, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and property damage.

Our knowledgeable and highly adept team is equipped to handle a wide variety of tasks, from pruning and crown reduction to complete removals when necessary.

In emergencies, we provide rapid response services to address fallen trees and branches, ensuring safe passage for the public.

Commitment to sustainability

At T&LC, we are dedicated to following environmentally responsible practices in both tree surgery and grounds maintenance.

We focus on enhancing the ecological value of publicly owned spaces while promoting biodiversity and minimising our environmental impact.

Our qualified team holds essential certifications in tree management and safety and grounds maintenance, ensuring that we perform our tasks effectively and responsibly.

Through our services, we aim to support local councils in meeting their sustainability targets while maintaining safe and healthy public spaces.

Testimonials

West Bergholt parish council have used the Tree & Lawn Company for a number of years, primarily for tree work but also for reinstatement of grass surfaces on sports pitches etc. We have always found Peter Cannon very approachable, easy to brief, competitive, with a high standard of work. I can provide one recent example. The parish are responsible for a large weeping willow tree adjacent to a pond in the centre of our village. It is a well loved tree but had become overgrown. It was therefore essential that the pruning and re-shaping was carried out effectively but also with sensitivity. I had a conversation with Peter to discuss our requirements and brief him of our concerns. I need not have worried as the work was carried out to an exemplary standard and within a very short period of time.
