Climbers Way Tree Care has successfully delivered arboricultural services for Oxford City Council for a number of years, working as part of an established framework agreement. The contract involves pricing and delivering packs of tree work across a wide range of large public parks and green spaces throughout the city.

These are busy public places. People walk dogs, push prams, cycle through, meet friends, and enjoy the open space. So every job needs careful planning, safe delivery, and clear control of the working area.

Delivering Packs of Work Across the City

Climbers Way Tree Care works with Oxford City Council to deliver planned packages of arboricultural works. These are completed across different sites and, where required, in collaboration with other appointed contractors to support efficient delivery and consistent standards.

  • Pricing and delivery of planned arboricultural work packages
  • Tree works across large public parks and green spaces
  • Coordination with other appointed contractors where needed
  • Consistent standards across multiple council-managed sites

Managing Busy Public Spaces Safely

Because many of Oxford’s parks and green spaces see high levels of pedestrian activity, public safety is a key priority on every project. Our teams are trained and equipped to manage foot traffic safely while keeping works moving.

  • Clear pedestrian management around active work areas
  • Use of suitable signage, barriers, and safety equipment
  • Careful planning to reduce disruption to park users
  • Safe working methods for high-footfall public environments

Professional Delivery Within Required Timescales

Public park work needs a steady hand. You need to keep people safe, protect the site, and get the work finished on time. Climbers Way Tree Care brings the planning, equipment, and experience needed to complete each package safely and professionally.

Project Requirement Climbers Way Approach Outcome
