Three Leaf Trees

Three Leaf Trees is a tree surgery business operating in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. The owner and lead climber is Joseph Smith, who is a LANTRA certified climber and chainsaw operator. Ewan, the groundsman, received his diploma in Horticulture from the botanic gardens Glasgow. All climbers are trained and qualified with LANTRA.

The business is insured up to £5 million. It runs a small and efficient team. The business handles all waste and disposes of it responsibly, with the majority going to biomass. It can undertake relevant checks and arrange permission for tree work, including TPO or conservation area requirements. Services include tree surgery.

Three Leaf Trees, working from the Bellahouston area of Glasgow, draws consistent praise for combining safety-conscious tree work with thorough site clean-up. Joe and Stuart are named by several clients, with Joe handling pruning and client communication while Stuart manages disposal and clearing of cuttings.

Jobs described include felling a tree and removing its stump after weighing up pruning against removal, cutting back tall branches overhanging into neighbouring gardens, taking down two mature trees together with shortening a hedge, and removing an overgrown silver birch before planting a replacement rowan tree. Reviews time and again mention that tarpaulins are laid down to protect patios and stone areas before cutting begins, with shredded material and all debris taken away so that little or no mess remains afterwards.

Handling of council paperwork for permission to carry out tree work is also noted as taking care of an otherwise time-consuming step. Clients mention being consulted on the finished result before the team leaves, and repeat customers describe returning to the company for further jobs. Pricing is described as competitive throughout the reviews. The careful, tidy approach to felling and pruning near houses and gardens across Glasgow is the theme that comes through most strongly.
