Out here the jobs are bigger and more open: field boundary trees, shelter belts around farmhouses and nurseries, self-set woodland edges creeping into productive ground, and storm-damaged timber that has to be cleared before machinery can move again. We cover the district from our St Helens base, working across the farmland and villages between Ormskirk, Burscough, Rufford, Parbold, Tarleton and the mosslands. Space is usually the one thing that is not a constraint, which means larger trees can often be felled whole, chipped where they fall and the ground handed straight back to you. Daniel Walsh holds City & Guilds Level 3 Arboriculture from Myerscough College, itself a West Lancashire institution, plus all relevant certificates held by Daniel and the team members, and 15 years in the trade. DW Treecare is fully insured with public liability cover up to £5 million, details available on request. ### How fast we get to West Lancs West Lancashire is around 30 to 45 minutes from the yard depending on where you are. We work 6am to 10pm, seven days, which suits rural jobs where an early start matters, and we prioritise blocked accesses and unsafe timber within those hours. ## Services available in West Lancs ### Tree Removals in West Lancs Open-ground felling where space allows, chipped where it falls and cleared in a single visit.

That is enough hands to take on a shelter belt or a storm-hit boundary rather than only single-tree garden work. ### Everything chipped and recycled on site Waste is chipped where it falls and recycled for biomass. Nothing goes to landfill and nothing is left in a pile for you to deal with after we leave; it is included as standard. ### Experience on protected and designated ground We have worked in Conservation Areas and on SSSI-designated land, and as a subcontractor for council contractors. Where consent is needed, TPO applications are handled in-house. ### Insured to £5 million Public liability cover up to £5 million, details available on request, the kind of thing land agents, farm businesses and estate managers ask for before work starts. ## Common tree problems in West Lancs ### Exposure across open, flat farmland West Lancashire's flat mossland offers a tree almost no shelter. Isolated field trees and shelter belts take the full force of south-westerlies, and crowns that have never been reduced are the ones that lose limbs or go over entirely in a winter storm. ### Wet, soft ground and shallow root plates Reclaimed moss and heavy clay soils hold water for long stretches of the year. Saturated ground plus a full crown in high wind is how a healthy-looking tree ends up on its side with the root plate lifted clear. ### Neglected boundary and ditch lines Hedge lines and ditch banks seed thorn, ash and sycamore constantly. Left a decade, a boundary becomes a line of semi-mature trees shading crops, blocking drainage and making the hedge unmanageable by flail. ### Ash dieback in rural stock Ash dominates a lot of rural West Lancashire boundaries and dieback is widespread. Infected ash becomes brittle quickly, which changes it from a straightforward climb into a job that needs assessing carefully and often taking down sooner than the owner planned. ## How a West Lancs job runs - Step 1 ### Free site visit and inspection Daniel comes out, looks at the tree or hedge in person, checks access, ground conditions and what sits underneath. No quoting from photographs. - Step 2 ### Assessment and consent check We identify the species, the condition and the sensible option, reduce, prune or remove, and check for Tree Preservation Orders or Conservation Area status. Any application is prepared and submitted in-house. - Step 3 ### Written price and agreed date You get the price in writing with the work specified, then a start date that holds. Our reviewers mention that more than anything else. - Step 4 ### Controlled execution The drop zone is set out, limbs are rigged and lowered rather than dropped where anything sits beneath, and roadside work is coned and managed. Daniel works on site with two regular crew, plus an extra qualified climber on the largest jobs. - Step 5 ### Clearance and final walk-round Everything is chipped on site and recycled for biomass; nothing to landfill, included as standard. The site is raked and swept, and we walk the job with you before we leave. ## West Lancs tree surgery questions ### Do you cover the whole of West Lancashire? Yes; the district including Burscough, Rufford, Parbold, Tarleton, Halsall and the surrounding farmland and villages, alongside Ormskirk, Scarisbrick and Skelmersdale. ### How quickly can you reach West Lancs? Typically 30 to 45 minutes from our St Helens base. Free quote visits are usually arranged within a few days and blocked accesses or unsafe timber are prioritised within our 6am to 10pm working day. ### What does tree work cost in West Lancashire? There is no fixed price list. Open-ground work with good access is generally more efficient than a confined garden, and that is reflected in the price. The site visit and quote are free and the figure is confirmed in writing. ### Can you deal with a tree blocking a track or gateway? Yes. Call 07402 096765, wind-thrown and hung-up timber blocking access is treated as priority work within our 6am to 10pm hours, seven days a week. ### Do you take on farm and estate work as well as domestic? Yes. Field boundaries, shelter belts, paddock clearance and yard trees are regular work for us, alongside domestic gardens in the villages. ### Can I keep the timber? Yes. Tell us at the quote stage and we will cut it to length and stack it rather than chipping it. Everything else is chipped on site and recycled for biomass. ### Are the trees on my land likely to be protected? Some will be. TPOs apply in rural areas too, and there is designated land in the district. We check before quoting and submit any application to West Lancashire Borough Council on your behalf. ### Do you clear whole overgrown plots? Yes, land clearance is one of our core services. Overgrown paddocks, neglected plots and scrubbed-over ground are cleared, chipped and left flat and usable. ### Are you insured for work on agricultural and commercial land? Yes, with public liability cover up to £5 million, details available on request. We are regularly subcontracted by contractors working on council jobs. ### How large a tree can you take on? No tree too tall. Where a whole fell is not safe, it comes down in sections with rigging, and an additional qualified climber is brought in for the largest jobs. ## Nearby areas we cover As well as West Lancs, we work across Ormskirk, Scarisbrick, Skelmersdale, St Helens and the rest of Merseyside and West Lancashire from our base in Saint Helens.
