J A Stewart Tree Surgery & Woodland Management
J. A. Stewart Tree surgery and Woodland management is a small family run business based in East Coker Somerset serving the surrounding areas. The proprietor, John Stewart started his working career volunteering at the Rutland water nature reserve helping to manage habitats and woodlands. This was where he became an arboriculturalist. Now, sixteen years on, and still with a keen interest in conservation our aim is to provide a professional, friendly service to the local community.
Services
With over two decades of experience in the arboricultural and silvicultural industries, J A Stewart Tree Surgery strive to match your needs with the needs of your trees. Whether you have a small tree which needs fomatively pruning, a large tree in an awkward situation or a woodland that requires thinning and coppicing, we can offer suitable solutions to any of your tree related enquiries.
As expert arborists we offer the client a highly professional level of tree surgery. Whatever you requirements, our aim will be to exceed your expectations and provide you with an outstanding result. We have always been able to find a solution despite difficult locations or adjacent hazards. Please contact us for friendly advice or a free quotation.
Most woodland nowadays has been planted, and because the trees are all of the same age and height, they will all mature at the same time. So unless the area is managed there are no real long term prospects for the woodland. The greatest biodiversity in woodland is where two habitats meet.

The woodland edge has the most wildlife, so maximizing the perimeter by creating scallops or by felling rides through the woodland, we can create an area greatly beneficial to the environment.J. A. Stewart tree surgery and woodland management offer a personalised service. Whatever or however you use your woodland we can make it sustainable, productive and beneficial to the environment.
We are delighted with the work carried out by John and his team. They managed to remove a large spruce, leaning ash and a dangerous poplar before tackling a weeping willow that had grown too tall - and even managed to install a tyre swing for our boys in the process! We now have a large wood store full of logs all neatly stacked by John and a pile of wood chippings which will come in very useful in the garden.

Excellent service from John and his team, a very competitive quote, quick to get back to me with a booking date and very prompt on arrival to do the work. A number of trees felled and cleared away, very quick and clean job done, very impressed. I can highly recommend and will certainly use again.

John and his team did a great job removing a couple of trees that had become too large too close to our house. It was not an easy task, being situated up an embankment and with many fences and other obstacles around. The team worked very hard over three days to complete the removal. A professional job executed with care and speed. They also cleared up well afterwards. I would definitely recommend John to anyone needing a good tree surgeon at a fair price.

Arrived nice and early and got straight on with cutting down our walnut tree. Took no time at all to complete the job and cut up the branches and trunk into manageable pieces to use on our woodstove. They left our driveway clean and tidy and we’re very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them for any tree problems you may have.

John has done some work for me on three occasions in the last five years, both at home and at work. He always works hard and thoroughly cleans up when the work is completed. He does an excellent job and is good on price. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

John came to look at a Eucalyptus in our rear garden to tidy it up and take the dead wood out. He gave his professional advice on what would be best for the tree. The quote was prompt and fairly priced. He arrived on time to carry out the work and was very neat and tidy. I am very happy with the results. Thank you John. I would be happy to recommend.

I emailed my query on a Friday, leaving my contact details and had a call from John in no time at all.
Discussed the job (pruning of a very neglected plum tree!) over the phone and as he was nearby, within a couple of hours he was around to take a look to give an accurate price for the quote.
Had a written quote that evening, very detailed and fairly priced.
I emailed and arranged a convenient time for us both- and agreeded on Wednesday 10:00.
They were punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable ( I have two apple trees that need attention later in the year and advice was given about them)
