Lead Tree Guy, Weekend Tree Surgeon

I'm a masters graduate and former "white-collar" knowledge worker. I like solving problems properly, paying attention to detail and doing what I said I'd do.

I'm also a father, bodybuilder and self-development writer. Those things have shaped how I think about discipline, responsibility and treating people well.

My aim is simple: to build the kindest, highest-agency life I can — and bring that same standard of care to the people who trust me with their homes.

Let's remove the awkward bits.

Where do you operate?

If you're within a 25 mile radius of Crewe we're then off to a good start.

I started WTS in 2025 from Stapeley, Nantwich, just helping friends and family.

As the business grows I work as far as Sandbach to Whitchurch, Wychwood Parkt to Woore and Tarporley.

Do you have a list of locations where you work?

I've helped people who live in the following areas: Audlem, Hankelow, Wychwood Park, Betley & Madeley, Hough, Weston, Wistaston, Stapeley, Nantwich, Ravensmoor, Sound, Wrenbury and Wettenhall.

Do you only work weekends?

Not anymore! I work both weekdays and weekends. What started as a small side hustle thankfully continues to grow.

Now I say I bring the weekend warrior attitude, 7 days a week.

Are you going to ghost me after giving a quote?

No. If I give you a quote, I'll tell you what happens next and keep you updated rather than leaving you wondering.

Will my garden look like a war zone when you leave?

Not at all. Careful work and proper cleanup are part of the job, not an optional extra. If there's going to be any "collateral damage" then we'll talk about it first.

My box hedge has caterpillar damage — is it worth saving?

Usually not, unfortunately. Most UK box hedges with visible caterpillar damage have box tree moth caterpillars, and once a hedge is badly infested or box blight sets in alongside it, full recovery is rare. We'll inspect it honestly and tell you straight whether it's worth treating or better to remove and replace with a hardier look-alike like Ilex crenata — no point charging you to save something that won't make it.

When's the best time of year to trim my hedge or tree?

For most hedges, late summer to winter (roughly August to February) avoids the UK's bird nesting season, when it's a legal offence to disturb an active nest. Deciduous trees are usually best pruned while dormant in winter. The right timing does vary by species though, so we always check what's actually in your garden before booking the work in, rather than working to a single fixed date.

Do I need a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) application before you start?

Sometimes — it depends on the tree and whether your property sits in a conservation area. A Tree Preservation Order protects specific trees, and working on one without council consent can mean a serious fine. We check your address against the local TPO register as a standard part of every quote, so you're never left to figure that paperwork out yourself.

Do I have to stay home all day waiting for you?

No. I'll agree a clear arrival window with you so you know when to expect me.

The "No-Mess" Guarantee

If I ever leave a mess behind, I'll come back and sort it.

God forbid you found a mess. But if you're not satisfied with the tidy up I'll drive back, clean it, and knock £10 off your bill.

Tell me where to reach you.

Adam will reply personally.
