Tree Surgeon Solihull
Who we are
Solihull's Nearest Qualified Tree Surgery Team
Ask where AWD Trees works most and Solihull is the honest answer. Our yard in Marston Green sits on the borough’s doorstep, so Solihull, Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge and Balsall Common are ten to fifteen minutes away, which keeps our prices keen and our response times short.
Solihull is one of the most wooded boroughs in the Midlands, and its gardens show it: mature oaks and beeches planted long before the houses around them, silver birches shading driveways, and boundary conifers that have quietly reached twenty metres. We know how to manage all of them sympathetically, keeping the leafy character that makes the borough what it is while keeping your garden safe and usable.

Covering Every Corner of the Borough
Where We Work in Solihull
From Olton and Lyndon in the north to Cheswick Green and Hockley Heath in the south, we cover the whole borough, including Shirley, Solihull town centre, Bentley Heath, Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Meriden, Hampton-in-Arden and Castle Bromwich. Many of our regular maintenance customers are within a couple of miles of Brueton and Malvern Parks.
Solihull’s Protected Trees
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council takes tree protection seriously, the borough motto is literally “Urbs in Rure”, town in country. Large parts of Knowle, Hampton-in-Arden and Berkswell are conservation areas, and TPOs are common on mature oaks even in ordinary residential streets. We check every tree before quoting and prepare the council paperwork for you.
Oaks, Beeches and Garden Conifers
The borough’s signature tree is the English oak, many predate the housing estates entirely and deserve careful, minimal pruning rather than heavy lopping. At the other end of the scale, 1970s leylandii hedges are now the borough’s most common problem tree. We reduce, reshape or remove them cleanly, and grind the stumps so you get your border back.

Why Choose Us
Why Solihull Homeowners Call Us First
Being the closest professional crew to most of the borough helps, but it is the standard of finish that brings Solihull customers back. Reducing a mature oak properly takes judgement, cut too hard and you ruin its shape and health for a decade. Our climbers prune to British Standard BS3998, which is why estate agents and property managers around Knowle and Dorridge keep our number saved.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Solihull borough?
Yes. Solihull town, Shirley, Olton, Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath, Balsall Common, Meriden, Hampton-in-Arden, Castle Bromwich and everywhere in between. We are based in Marston Green, inside the borough itself, so travel time is minimal.
My oak tree may have a TPO, can you still work on it?
Usually yes, with consent. Solihull Council grants permission for sound arboricultural work such as deadwood removal or a sympathetic crown reduction. We confirm whether a TPO exists, then prepare and submit the application for you, typically an eight-week turnaround.
Can you reduce a leylandii hedge that has grown too tall?
Yes, this is one of our most requested Solihull jobs. Leylandii can be reduced significantly in height and faced back, though not into bare wood. Where a hedge is beyond saving we can remove it entirely and grind the stumps ready for replanting or fencing.
Are you insured to work on large trees near my house?
Fully. We carry public liability insurance and all our climbers hold NPTC certificates. Large trees over buildings are dismantled in sections using lowering rigs, so nothing free-falls near your property.
What is the best time of year for tree work in Solihull?
Most work can be done year-round. We avoid disturbing nesting birds in spring, a legal requirement, and some species like walnut and birch are best pruned mid-summer or winter to prevent sap bleed. We will advise the right window when we quote.
