Arboricultural contractors list

We recognise that well-managed trees and woodlands make a significant contribution to the environment as well as enhancing the aesthetic value of the area. We feel that it is important to ensure residents receive the right advice about the management of their trees and that any work undertaken is done to accepted arboricultural industry standards.

For this reason, we have created an approved arboricultural contractors list below that will provide help to residents in selecting an appropriately qualified contractor.

Consent is required from the council if works are to be carried out to trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order or within a designated Conservation Area. Unauthorised works can result in criminal proceedings against both the tree owner and contractor. You are advised to confirm the status of the tree with the council before carrying out any works.

West Lancashire Borough Council will not be responsible for any work undertaken by any contractor on the approved list and cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, injury or inconvenience caused by a contractor on the approved list.
