Meet the Hands Behind Ancient Oaks, Since the Early Nineties
John founded Ancient Oaks on a simple idea: tree work should be done properly, by people who understand the tree as much as the tools. Since training as a climber in the early 1990s, that's meant City & Guilds and NPTC qualifications, a small team who take the same care on a driveway oak as they do a ten-tonne crane job, and a close working relationship with Stockwell Davies Consultants so survey work and contracting always end up in the right hands.
“Ancient trees are precious. There is little else on Earth that plays host to such a rich community of life within a single living organism.” Sir David AttenboroughMore About Us
