Rooted in safety. driven by quality. trusted to deliver.

Our story

Cotty Tree Surgery Ltd is a professional arboriculture, forestry, and vegetation management company built on hard work, high standards, and a straightforward promise: do the job properly, safely, and responsibly.

The business grew from hands-on tree work into a trusted contractor delivering complex projects across The South of England. What started as a small operation has developed into a skilled, close-knit team of qualified arborists, ground staff, and supervisors, supported by a modern fleet of specialist equipment.

What We Do

We provide a full range of tree surgery and land-based services, including:

• Tree surgery and arboricultural maintenance

• Large-scale site clearance and forestry works

• Railway vegetation management and rail-side safety-critical operations

• Grounds maintenance and environmental management

Our teams are experienced working in high-risk, high-compliance environments, including live railway corridors and local authority land, where safety, planning, and professionalism are non-negotiable.

How We Work

We pride ourselves on being organised, compliant, and reliable. Every job is underpinned by clear planning, detailed RAMS, trained staff, and the right equipment for the task. We work closely with clients, councils, and principal contractors to ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption.

Environmental responsibility is central to our approach. Wherever possible, timber and arisings are recycled into biomass, waste is responsibly managed, and protected species and habitats are carefully considered before work begins.

What Sets Us Apart

What truly differentiates Cotty Tree Surgery Ltd is our balance of capability and care:

• Compliance-led – experienced with Network Rail standards, council frameworks, and industry best practice

• People-focused – we invest in training, welfare, and progression for our teams

• Well-equipped – modern machinery, specialist rail and forestry kit, and the right tools for every environment

• Straightforward and dependable – clear communication, realistic programmes, and no shortcuts

We are not a faceless contractor. We are a hands-on business that values long-term relationships, takes pride in its reputation, and treats every site as if it were our own.

Looking Forward

As the business continues to grow, our focus remains the same: deliver quality work, look after our people, protect the environment, and be a contractor our clients can rely on time and time again.

That’s Cotty Tree Surgery Ltd — grounded, professional, and built to last.
