About us
Our mission
Eastland Foresters was established in 1974 to promote tree care and conservation and provide expert advice on all aspects of tree surgery, while protecting the beautiful environment in which we live.
We are the most experienced tree surgery business on Deeside, working in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and the northeast of Scotland.
We aim to provide a reliable and professional service to all our customers, domestic or commercial, and we are fully insured.
The wider picture
Forestry is about more than felling or shaping trees. Trees have long been recognised as habitat for many species of fungi, insects, birds and mammals.
Over recent years it has become more fully understood that soil conditions are important to tree health. Also, cavities, deadwood and fungal fruit bodies may not be a health and safety problem but a natural part of the tree’s life cycle.
As a result, our tree surgeons consider all the aspects of a tree’s life and its interactions when considering how best to manage it.
The tree surgery team
Our tree surgery team are trained to industry standards and work to guidelines set out in British Standard 3998:2010 – Recommendations for Tree Work.
Where relevant, all work carried out also complies with British Standard 5837:2012 – Trees in Relation to Construction.
Our partners
Our senior consultant, Nigel Astell, has a BSc in Botany and Zoology. He is a member of the Arboricultural Association and The Chartered Institute of Environmental and Ecological Management and has many years’ experience as an arborist which he can use to give you the best advice.
