A FAMILY BUSINESS ROOTED IN EXPERIENCE
Inspired by his father Charles, James began working in tree surgery in the early 1990s. He founded Apex in 1998 and was soon joined by Charles, who brought his 20+ years of tree surgery experience to the business. With decades of shared expertise, there's rarely a situation we haven’t encountered before.
We’ve built our reputation on honest, reliable service, expert advice, and a genuine commitment to the highest quality tree surgery. Many of our private clients have trusted us with their trees for decades, and we continue to work with some of the region’s most well-known estates, schools, and land managers.
