About

About Us

Healthy trees and hedges need year-round care to keep them free of disease. Cedar Difference has more than 12 years experience as professionally qualified tree surgeons working for individual customers and public bodies in Greater London Surrey Oxon and Bucks.

Our work is to BS 3998 Standard. We use well maintained equipment and our expert staff provide service that is both cost effective and efficient.

Courteous and Professional Tree Service

We have over 12 years experience with all aspects of tree care and arboriculture as well as a highly regarded emergency call-out service. Cedar Difference offers crown reduction, tree felling and stump removal, conservation area planning applications, tree protection orders, pruning, and hedge trimming. We are fully insured, work to BS3998 Standard and are NPTC qualified.

Tree felling

Taking down a big tree takes place in two phases. The first phase requires climbing the tree in harness to cut away its branches. At this time, guide ropes are placed at the top of the tree in order to anchor it to the ground. This will ensure that it falls in the right direction after it's cut at the base.

The second phase takes place on the ground. This is when cuts are made to the trunk. When cutting is complete, the surgeon uses the guide ropes to fell the tree in the safest direction.

The two phases are shown in photos. Click the links below to see expert tree surgeon, Steven Fake, climb in harness and then work on the ground.

Crown reduction

Cedar Difference follows the natural shape of the tree when reducing its crown. This ensures that regrowth is in proportion throughout the whole tree.

Photos will be added to this section that show examples of crown reduction made by Cedar Difference.

Fantastic & High Quality Service

Service

Would like to thank Steven and his colleague for providing a fantastic service. They were very professional, friendly and very consultative from the beginning. Work carried on the tree as well as other high hedges and mixture of other trees was of very high quality. They also cleaned up frequently to ensure there was no mess left in my front and back garden as well as other parts of the street. Would recommend them to anyone and important we give small businesses such as this the opportunity to continue their good work. Thanks again

Excellent job

Steven and his colleague did a great job! They took care of several large Leylandii by removing parts of the three which were leaning on the roof and they reshaped them & reduced their height. The Ceanothus was prune back from the neighbor's side and some limbs that were leaning on the roof were removed. Last but not least he took care of all hedges. Steven and his colleague worked very professional and they were extremely neat & tidy.

There was a terrible sized tree stump where we wanted our deck to be built. Steven ground it down and cleaned the whole place. My husband didn't know at first they were there that day - it was so clean.

Dead tree removal

Service

Quality

Value

Steven came yesterday to remove our dead Cherry tree and cut back a willow to give us more light. I was so happy with the service. He was friendly and took time to understand exactly what I wanted and how far back to cut the branches. He was extremely conciencious and thorough and cleared up the debrie and sawdust so well that you couldn't tell he'd been there. I will certain use him in the future to manage our trees.

Thank you Steven and team, a great job, trees completely gone and no damage. Wouldn't know they had been there. Again sorry about the squidgy garden. Inspired by you I went on to remove a few more small shrubs at the weekend.

Dangerous tree problem solved

Service

Quality

Value

My back garden has no rear access and is on a terrace - so any tree pieces and mess must be carried through the house. When Steve and his team trimmed my hedges last spring, he advised that a large tree located very close to my house had a decayed core and should come down. I couldn't face the potential mess but decided to take action as winter could knock the tree onto the roof. I'm very glad I did, Seven personally supervised the clean-up and they were done in less than a day! It was so immaculate in the house that when my husband came home he thought the job was still not done. Thank you, Steven. You have one loyal customer.

Trimmed to Perfection

Service

Steve will be back next year after trimming my large runaway bay tree as beautifully as in any stately home grounds, and my olive tree into a delightful ball shape, now masterpieces in my small suburban garden. In one afternoon all was transformed and left neat and tidy. Thank you Steve and Darren, your work is delight to view and enjoy. See you 2014, I need look no further.

Artistically trimmed Leylandii

Service

Quality

Value

This is the third year Steve has trimmed the Leylandii and the result is always good. His team arrived on time and produce a compact and artistically shaped set of Leylandii, and they left the area cleaner than before they arrived. This striking result may be what people passing by notice, but for me it’s Steve’s depth of knowledge, good advice and how he strives to meet my expectation that means I’ll be calling him again next year.

A Bramley Apple Tree that wants to be larger.

Service

Quality

Value

Steve has been dealing with the complications of pruning largish trees and shrubs in the confined space of my garden since 2005. I should be lost without him. Perhaps like many in London, I like the plants full grown for the privacy and yet they need the 'knife'. Steve will always do what I want but at the same time will give good advice. One of his achievements for me is coping with a productive Bramley apple tree that wants to be larger.

Another Conifer Blighted Garden

Service

Quality

Value

Our Garden was surrounded by some thirty Leylandii conifers and we finally wanted to see daylight. Steve and co conducted a marathon of felling, shreddiing,and finally stump grinding to remove all traces of root that may have caused subsequent problems when we relaid the garden. The whole episode over a period of days was conducted professionally and with good humour and courtesy. The garden was left so clean that you would never have believed that so much work had taken place. Steve has done other work for me since, and I would look nowhere else

Copper Beech pruning

Service

We have used Steve's services for many years, usually to trim our large copper beech tree, awkwardly placed overhanging a busy public road. He has always been prompt, courteous and very efficient, removing all debris and leaving our garden in an immaculate condition. We would recommend his services for all types of arborial work.

Asian Apple Tree and conifers

Service

Quality

Value

I have hired Steve twice over the last few years and he has provided impartial professional advice (with obligation or hard sell) and gave detailed quotations so there were no surprises. Steve and his team executed the crowning of a large tree and other conifers that required logging. The jobs were completed promptly, to a very high standard and tidied up properly. I have no qualms in recommending his services and Steve also advised on how to handle other trees on our property in the future. Rates were competitive! Hard to ask for more.

I was hugely impressed and very satisfied by Steve and his company for their recent work at my property. He reduced our Holly trees, trimmed a Privet hedge, cut down a large Ash tree and trimmed various bramble shrubs. He worked very efficiently and was totally professional in all aspects. Time keeping was good and cleared up all the mess. Very friendly and very knowledgeable in his professionwith over 15 years experience. I will certainly call on his services in the future and recommend to anyone that needs work done.
