East Kilbride

Tree surgery in East Kilbride

Scotland's first post-war New Town (designated 1947), laid out as low-density residential neighbourhoods on a plateau south of Glasgow, with the wooded gorge of the Rotten Calder running through Calderglen Country Park on the town's eastern edge.

Most of East Kilbride was built as New Town housing from the late 1940s onwards, each neighbourhood originally planned with its own local centre, ranging from 1950s-60s corporation housing to later private estates, alongside the much older historic core known as The Village.

Tree planting was built into the New Town's design from the start, so gardens and street trees across neighbourhoods like Westwood and Stewartfield are now mature enough that crown reduction and deadwooding come up more than removing anything young. Trees bordering Calderglen Country Park's gorge woodland can be older, self-seeded specimens rather than planted ornamentals, which changes how we approach them. The Village Conservation Area covers the original settlement around the Old Parish Church, which predates the New Town by centuries — South Lanarkshire Council's consent is needed before felling or heavily pruning a protected tree there.

What should you do if a tree looks unsafe?

If a tree looks split, is hanging precariously or has been damaged in a storm, leave it alone and keep people, pets and vehicles well back. A few photos taken from a safe distance help us judge over the phone whether it's an emergency callout or something we can schedule in.
