Websites for tree surgeons, built before you pay.
I build websites for tree surgeons in Worcestershire and across the UK. Somebody letting a stranger climb their oak wants proof before they want a price, so the website has to give it. I build yours first, finished, and you only pay if you want it: £650, or nothing. I trained in plumbing and heating and ran my own firm with 7 full-time staff, so I know the trades.

“Really made things easy for me as I’ve got not much experience on computers, but he sorted everything.”
Real sites, live now. Open any of them.
There is no tree surgeon among my live sites yet. That is why yours is built first: you judge your own site, not a promise. The nearest match is Luke Cross Plastering, a plasterer near Bridgwater: one page built from photos of his own jobs, with every one of his Google reviews on it, word for word, and his number at the top.

“If you're a small business needing a website, I'd definitely recommend him.”
Read it in full
Brilliant website and great support throughout. Archie built a new website for my fitness business and I'm really pleased with it. It's clean, looks professional and is easy to find your way around, which is exactly what I wanted.
I'm not techy at all, but Archie helped me through the whole process and explained everything I needed to do in plain English. Nothing was too much trouble. If you're a small business needing a website, I'd definitely recommend him.
I’ll build it first. You decide after.
Tell me the trade name, the town you work out of, and the jobs you want more of. I send you three homepage designs within a day, then build the whole website in the one you pick, every page written, usually in about 2 days, and send you a link. Look at it in your own time, with whoever else has a say.
If you want it, it’s £650: a £162.50 deposit once you’re happy with the design, and the rest within 7 days of it going live. If you don’t, say so and it comes down. You pay nothing, and I won’t follow it up.
What is yours, and the small print
- Your domain (your web address, like yourbusiness.co.uk) is bought in your name, on your card. About £10 a year, paid to the company you buy it from, not to me. I send you a one-page guide to buying it.
- Every login is handed over in writing once it is paid for, and the hosting moves to an account in your name at no cost. Nothing is locked to me.
- No monthly fee unless you choose monthly care: £29 a month for up to five changes, stop any time.
- If you change your mind after saying yes, the 25% is kept for the work done. If I can’t get it live for a reason on my side, it comes back in full.
- You pay by bank transfer to the account named on the invoice. My bank details will never change by message.
What tree surgeons need from a website.
Tickets and insurance, named
Chainsaw and climbing tickets, public liability and what it covers, and the standard you work to. A homeowner with a big tree over the house reads that section first, and the tree surgeon who shows it gets the job ahead of the one who doesn’t.
Protected trees, explained
If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order on it, or stands in a conservation area, the council has to be told or has to agree before the work starts. Say that you check, and whether you sort the paperwork. It turns a worry into a reason to ring you.
Nesting season
Birds’ nests in use are protected by law, which is why some jobs wait until late summer. Say so on the site, and you look careful rather than awkward when you move a March job back.
What happens to the wood
Chipped and taken away, logged and stacked, stump ground out or left. It is the second question on every quote, so answer it with photos of a site after you have left it.
One page per job, not one page for trees
Felling, crown reductions, pruning, hedges, stump grinding, storm damage. Different searches, different money. A page for each gives the search engines something to rank, and the storm damage page earns its keep every winter.
Your real area, named
About ten miles round the town you work out of, with the places listed. “The Midlands” tells nobody anything and brings you call-outs that are an hour and a half each way. A drawn map with the river, the motorway and the towns on it does the job better than an embedded Google map, and it loads instantly.
What usually goes wrong.
Already got a website? Check your current one
Plenty of good tree surgeons have no website at all: dramatic climbing videos on Facebook and a Google listing with no site on it.
The sites that exist have the same faults. The number is not a link. No town is named.
The photos are a stock arborist halfway up a redwood. Nothing about tickets or insurance, nothing about protected trees, nothing about what happens to the wood. And the enquiry form goes nowhere anybody looks.

Fair questions
What should a tree surgeon’s website show?
Photographs of your own jobs, your tickets and insurance, how you handle protected trees and nesting season, what happens to the wood, and the towns you cover.
Do I need permission to cut a tree down?
Sometimes. If it has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area, the council has to be told or has to agree first. A good tree surgeon checks before quoting.
Most of my work is word of mouth. Do I still need a website?
Yes. The person you were recommended to looks you up before they get in touch, and the website is what they find. More on why word of mouth still needs a website.
How much does a tree surgeon’s website cost?
£0 to see it. £650 for the website built and live on your own domain: £162.50 when you say yes and £487.50 within 7 days of it going live. Or £900 with a year of changes, up to five a month. A one-page website is £350.
How long does it take?
Three homepage designs within a day, then usually about 2 days to build. Then you look at it in your own time, before deciding anything. Once you say yes, it goes live within 3 working days of your last change, and within 14 days at most.
What’s the catch?
Here is everything it can cost you. If it’s a no, nothing. If it’s a yes, 25% to go ahead: it is kept if you change your mind before the site goes live, and refunded in full if I can’t get it live for a reason on my side. The rest is due within 7 days of it going live. Your domain is about £10 a year, paid by you. Changes after it goes live are £50 for up to five, unless you have the year of changes or monthly care, and you send them to me: there is no editor to log into. And nobody can promise you a place on Google, me included.

Said yes on a call already? You don’t need this form. Your link comes through on WhatsApp.
Got it, thank you. It has come straight to me.
I reply within 24 hours. Within a day I send you three homepage designs. Pick one and I build the whole website, usually in about 2 days. Nothing is payable unless you want it.
