Overgrown, Damaged, or In The Way — We'll Sort It
Riverside Landscaping removes, prunes, and manages trees across Glasgow and Ayrshire — from a single overgrown tree blocking light, to full garden clearance ahead of a landscaping project. Every job starts with a free site visit and a written quote, and we clear all arisings before we leave.
Every tree job starts with a site risk assessment — access, power lines, nearby structures, and the safest felling or dismantling method — before any cutting begins.
What We Handle
From a single problem tree to clearing a whole garden boundary, we scope the work to what you actually need.
Felling, Pruning & Crown Work
Full removal, crown reduction or thinning, and deadwooding for trees that are healthy but need managing.
Stump Grinding & Hedge Trimming
Optional stump removal after felling, plus hedge and overgrowth trimming as part of the same visit.
Planning Permission & Protected Trees
Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a Conservation Area, which means council permission is needed before removal or significant pruning. Most garden trees aren't affected, but we'll help you check what applies to yours before any work is booked.
How We Handle Your Tree Work
No complicated process, no surprises. Here's exactly what happens when you contact us about a tree on your property.
Step 1
Free Site Visit & Risk Assessment
We visit to assess the tree's size, condition, and surroundings — access, power lines, structures, and anything else that affects the safest way to do the job — then give you a written quote.
Step 2
Tree Work Carried Out Safely
Felling, sectional dismantling, crown reduction, or pruning — whichever the risk assessment calls for, worked through methodically and safely.
Step 3
Full Clean-Up & Waste Removal
All branches, logs and chippings are cleared and removed from site before we leave — your garden is left tidy, not full of arisings.

Why Our Tree Removal Stands Out
What Glasgow Homeowners Say
Marie Dee
Glasgow
I recently had Riverside Landscaping complete work in my garden and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial quotation through to completion, Leon and his team were professional, reliable, and hardworking. They kept everything tidy throughout the project and completed the work to a very high standard. The finished garden has completely transformed the look of my property, and the attention to detail was excellent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal in Glasgow
It depends on the tree. If it has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on it, or sits within a Conservation Area, you need permission from your local council before removing or significantly pruning it. Most trees on private residential land have no such restriction, but we always recommend checking with your council first — we can help you figure out what applies during your free site visit.
It depends on the tree's size, condition, and how accessible it is — a small garden tree with clear access costs a lot less than a large tree overhanging a roof or close to power lines. We don't quote fixed prices upfront; every job gets a free site visit and a written quote first.
Stump removal or grinding is available and can be included in your quote if you'd rather not have a stump left behind — just let us know when we visit.
All arisings are cleared and removed from site as standard — we don't leave logs, branches, or chippings behind unless you specifically want to keep them (for firewood, for example).
