Websites for tree surgeons that lead with insurance and qualifications
A customer hiring a tree surgeon is letting someone drop heavy timber near their house, their car and their neighbour’s conservatory. The whole decision turns on whether you are properly qualified and properly insured — so that is what the site says first.

Why it matters
What costs tree surgeons work online
The insurance question decides the job
Every serious customer asks about public liability, and many have been told a horror story first. A site that states the cover and the qualifications up front has won the comparison before the quote.
Storm work arrives as an emergency, on a phone
A limb through a fence at seven in the morning is a call, not a browse. If the site is slow or the number is buried, the next arborist gets it.
TPOs and conservation areas frighten people off
Customers do not know whether they are allowed to touch their own tree, and many do nothing rather than find out. A page that explains it plainly turns a worry into an enquiry.
Built for your trade
What a tree surgeon’s website needs
Qualifications and cover, in the hero
NPTC and City & Guilds tickets, Arboricultural Association membership if you hold it, and your public liability figure stated as a number. Next to the phone number, not in the footer.
An emergency and storm-damage route
A clearly separate path for urgent work, with honest hours and response times, and a tappable number that follows the visitor down the page.
A plain-English page on TPOs and conservation areas
What they are, how to check, who applies, and how long councils take. It is the most-searched question in the trade and almost nobody answers it properly.
Before-and-after work, with the site left tidy
Crown reductions and fellings shown as pairs — and a photograph of the cleared site afterwards, because “will you take it all away?” is the second question on every call.
Simple pricing, no setup fee
Plans from £49 a month plus VAT — build, hosting, SSL, backups and content updates all included. See the rebuilt homepage before you pay a penny.
Straight answers
Questions from tree surgeons
What should a tree surgeon put on the homepage?
Your NPTC qualifications, your public liability cover as an actual figure, a tappable phone number, and a before-and-after photograph of your own work. Those four answer what a customer is really deciding, which is whether this is safe.
Should I explain tree preservation orders on my site?
Yes — it is one of the most searched questions in the trade and one of the least well answered. A clear page on TPOs and conservation areas brings in customers who were not going to ring anybody until they understood where they stood.
How do I get storm-damage work?
Be findable and reachable within the first hour. That means a fast site, an emergency route that is obvious on a phone, a Google Business Profile with honest hours, and a number you actually answer at seven in the morning.
How much does a website for a tree surgeon cost?
Plans start at £49 a month plus VAT with no setup fee — that includes the build, tailored desktop and mobile design, hosting, SSL, backups and ongoing content updates. Before you pay anything, we rebuild your homepage free so you can judge the work first.
