tree surgery & arboricultural services in Dunbar

ARB Approved tree surgery for domestic and commercial clients

Trusted Arborists Working Across Dunbar

Thomson Trees Ltd provides professional tree surgery and arboricultural services throughout Dunbar and the surrounding East Lothian coastline, supporting homeowners, rural estates, commercial premises and managing agents with safe, carefully planned tree work.

Working in Dunbar presents a unique set of conditions. Coastal exposure, strong prevailing winds and salt-laden air can accelerate decline in certain species and increase the likelihood of structural failure during storms. Our teams regularly assess and manage wind-loaded trees, boundary planting and mature specimens in exposed gardens and open ground, ensuring risks are properly controlled while preserving long-term tree health.

We carry out everything from routine pruning and hedge maintenance through to complex sectional dismantling, rapid-response emergency tree work and larger-scale vegetation clearance. Work is delivered with a strong emphasis on methodical site planning, safe systems of work and leaving properties tidy and usable.

For clients requiring technical input, we also provide professional advice through our tree consultancy and reporting services, assisting with surveys, risk assessments and arboricultural guidance where required.

Thomson Trees Ltd is an ARB Approved Contractor, meaning our operations are independently assessed for safety, quality and compliance. We are also FISA members, SSIP accredited, CHAS accredited and TrustMark accredited, with clear policies covering health and safety, environmental management, wildlife and ecology and biosecurity. You can view our qualifications, read our client testimonials, or learn more about our team.

Whether you need support for domestic tree surgery, ongoing commercial contracts, specialist lifting solutions through our forestry plant hire, or simply professional advice before making a decision, Thomson Trees Ltd offers a dependable, fully compliant service across Dunbar and the wider East Lothian area. You can explore our recent case studies or contact us directly to discuss your requirements.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time I have engaged Thomson Trees to undertake major tree work in my garden. Just like the first time the crew were very polite, safety aware and carried out a very professional job.  They cleared up the site after taking down 3 very large willows and left the cut wood in neat piles. I would highly recommend Thomson Trees for any tree work.

From the quote with Peter to the removal of Eucalyptus tree from our garden with the two guys that’s that’s carried out the work (sorry I didn’t catch their names)  it was a great efficient service. My 3year old enjoyed watching the tree come down and was in awe of the guys working. Thank you and would highly recommend ☺️
