About Us | Arbex Tree Surgeons

Based in Nottingham, Arbex Tree Surgeons is a specialist tree surgery company.

We provide tree services to both private and commercial clients.

Paul Shouls the owner says: – “We do free quotations for our customers, offer impartial advice, and stick to the price agreed. We want to give great service to all our clients at a competitive cost.”

About The Owner

Paul originally started in the leisure industry and after many years of corporate life in London, decided to have a complete change. He had always wanted to work outdoors and went through rigorous training to qualify as a tree surgeon. Training includes chainsaw skills, tree climbing, tree dismantling, working with cranes and mobile platforms, chippers and advanced first aid.

So in 2009, Arbex was born. Why the name Arbex? The Latin for tree is ‘Arbor’ – the trade refers to this work as the ‘Arb’ industry – thus ‘Arbex’.

Paul was able to share his love for the trade and mentored several young lads through training, many who became fully qualified themselves. Some went on to start their own businesses but the majority still work with him.

The company has built up a significant skill level, so can now cover the most complex work including dangerous trees and crane work. When asked what our USP is, Paul suggests that fully understanding the customers’ needs is probably one of the most important skills.

QUOTATIONS

Do you charge for a quotation?: No. Quotations are free and can be provided in writing.
Can you give me a price over the phone?: Yes, but it would only be an estimate. Due to the varying factors such as access for dragging out the waste, position of trees in relation to buildings and access etc. we would always recommend a site visit for an accurate quotation.

FAQs

Do I have to be at home when you come to do the work?: No, providing we have adequate access and all the information we need.
Do you need anything such as power from us?: No. We just need good access. All our machines are petrol or diesel powered.
What methods of payment do you accept?: We take cash, cheque or payment via BACS. We will send you a written invoice if you want one.
What happens to the waste?: It depends on the job. Branches are normally chipped – heavy timber taken away. Chippings are sent to farms for animal bedding. Some timber is used for logs.
Can I keep the logs or chippings?: You can keep anything you like. It is normally cheaper if we do not have to take waste away, but be aware, even a small tree produces lots of waste!
Will stump regrow?: It depends on the species. We can arrange for the stumps to be ground out if necessary.
