Tree Surgery & Garden Servicesin Aberfeldy
PH15 is Highland Perthshire — riverside beech, estate-planted conifers and high rainfall. We know the ground, and the run from our Crieff yard up over the Sma' Glen is a familiar one.

Coverage across PH15
Aberfeldy is a straight run north from our Crieff yard over the Sma' Glen — around thirty-five minutes on the A826 down onto the A827. We cover the whole of PH15: the town itself, plus the surrounding villages and rural properties at Weem, Dull, Fortingall, Grandtully, Strathtay, Kenmore and out toward Loch Tay. A site visit is a half-day round trip, so we plan Aberfeldy work efficiently rather than at short notice.
Response times to Aberfeldy
Most PH15 enquiries are booked in for a site visit within three to five working days so the trip is worth the fuel. Booked works start within one to three weeks depending on tree-surgery scheduling. Safety-critical callouts after a storm — a limb on a house, a tree across a lane — are triaged inside the working week (Mon–Sun, 8am–6pm) and given priority slots.
Familiarity with Aberfeldy property types
Aberfeldy gardens sit in a specific climate. Rainfall is materially higher than lowland Perthshire, the Tay valley funnels weather along it, and much of the mature planting dates from the Victorian and estate era — big beeches along the Birks, avenues of lime and horse chestnut through the town, Scots pine and Douglas fir around the older feuar houses. That, plus the softer wetter ground, drives what we're asked to do here: mature tree management, moss-heavy lawn renovation, and drainage-savvy landscaping rather than ornamental fiddling.

Every service linked below is a full, self-contained page — pricing basis, methods, materials, guarantees and FAQs.
Tree Surgery
Mature beech, lime, horse chestnut and estate-planted conifers — climbed dismantles, crown reductions and safety fells across PH15.
Read full service pageHedge Trimming & Removal
Long-run beech, hornbeam and leylandii boundaries along the rural roads out toward Weem, Dull and Grandtully — annual cuts with waste taken away.
Read full service pageFencing
Pressure-treated close-board and post-and-rail fencing built for high-rainfall PH15 ground — concrete-set posts, not sunk-and-hoped.
Read full service pageLawn Installation
Turf-laid lawns on wet, moss-prone ground — proper stripping, drainage and subsoil work before a single roll goes down.
Read full service pageSoft Landscaping
Full garden transformations for the older stone properties around the town — planting, paths and finishing in one project.
Read full service pageLow-Maintenance Gardens
Practical designs for holiday-let and second-home plots at Kenmore, Grandtully and Strathtay where ongoing upkeep isn't realistic.
Read full service pageConcrete reasons — not marketing lines.
Perthshire-based, not lowland
We're 35 minutes down the A827 — a Perthshire crew who understand the rainfall, the ground and the estate-planted trees, not a central-belt firm learning on your job.
Fixed price after a free site visit
You get a written price up front, no deposit and no day-rate creep. Travel is factored into the quote — you see the total before agreeing anything.
SEPA-registered waste removal
Every branch, cutting and root leaves in our truck under a legal waste-carrier registration. No fly-tipping, no bonfires left for the client, no comeback.
Guaranteed workmanship
Turfed lawns are guaranteed if aftercare is followed; fencing and landscaping workmanship is backed after handover. Real recourse if something isn't right.
Aberfeldy plots we work on.
Town-centre stone houses (Aberfeldy town, Kenmore Road)
Sandstone terraces and detached feuar properties with mature front and rear gardens, often boundary-lined by beech or lime planted a century ago. Recurring work: high hedge reduction, canopy lift on street-facing trees, and tidy replacement of aging panel fences.
Rural PH15 (Weem, Dull, Fortingall, Grandtully)
Bigger plots, mature shelter belts, farm-boundary fencing and long gravel accesses. This is where the larger tree work sits — end-of-life Scots pine, wind-thrown beech, and full-length hedge lines that haven't been cut in three seasons.
Riverside & lochside plots (Strathtay, Kenmore, Loch Tay road)
Wet ground, mature riparian trees, and holiday-let ownership are the pattern. Drainage-aware landscaping and low-maintenance planting are the recurring briefs, along with safe tree work over water and outbuildings.
Modern housing and steadings converted for permanent living
Smaller-scale but frequently on former farmland — compacted subsoil, patchy turf and boundary fencing installed to the minimum spec. We strip, prep and rebuild properly rather than layer over the existing problem.
What comes up in Aberfeldy.
Higher-than-lowland rainfall
PH15 gets substantially more rain than Perth or Crieff. Turf laid straight onto compacted ground turns to moss inside two seasons — proper cultivation, drainage and topsoil are non-negotiable here.
End-of-life estate conifers
Many rural Aberfeldy gardens carry Douglas fir and Scots pine planted as estate trees 80–100+ years ago. Wind-throw risk climbs sharply after that age — pre-storm assessment and controlled reduction beats what a February gale chooses instead.
Overgrown roadside hedges
Rural PH15 hedges left three or four seasons become 12ft screens with bare inner faces and encroachment into the lane. Hard reduction, reshape and full waste removal is the standard fix, done in the right season.
Tay-valley wind damage
The valley funnels westerlies along its length. Panelled fencing on any exposed boundary is a repeat expense; we spec close-board with concrete-set posts as the default here, not another set of panels.
Absentee-owner overgrowth on holiday lets
Second-home and let plots at Kenmore, Grandtully and Strathtay get away quickly between visits. One-visit clearance, boundary reset and a low-maintenance planting scheme is efficient — dragging it out means more travel cost for the same job.
