Climbers Way Tree Care is proud to be part of the NHS’s five-year framework for managing tree stock, working alongside five other trusted contractors. Supporting such an important organisation is a responsibility we take to heart. For us, this partnership is about more than surveys and tree works—it’s about helping the NHS create safe, welcoming, and calming outdoor spaces for patients, staff, and visitors.
A Long-Term Partnership
The five-year contract gives us the time and stability to plan ahead thoughtfully, build strong working relationships with NHS teams, and ensure that every site is cared for with consistency and care. Trees do more than provide shade or beauty—they contribute to wellbeing, stress reduction, and healing. Knowing that our work helps create these positive spaces gives our team real purpose.
Our Approach
Climbers Way brings together practical expertise, careful planning, and genuine care in every project. Our process includes:
- Coordinating with NHS staff to plan works safely and efficiently
- Regular inspections to identify and address issues early
- Clear communication at every stage of the project
- Minimising disruption to patients, staff, and daily operations
Investing in Safety & Sustainability
Over the next five years, we are committed to supporting the NHS by delivering tree management that is safe, sustainable, and responsible. Every tree we care for represents an investment in:
- Safety – reducing risks from failing or defective trees
- Sustainability – ensuring long-term tree health and resilience
- Wellbeing – creating calming environments that support recovery
- Community value – enhancing the outdoor spaces used by thousands of people every day
Looking Ahead
By combining knowledge, attention to detail, and a heartfelt commitment to care, Climbers Way Tree Care aims to make a lasting positive impact across NHS sites. Every tree we maintain is part of a bigger picture: creating outdoor spaces where people feel safe, inspired, and cared for.

For over ten years, Climbers Way Tree Care has been trusted to look after the University of Southampton’s trees, creating safe, sustainable, and welcoming campuses for students, staff, and visitors. That relationship has now grown into a new three-year contract, with the option to extend for a further two years—giving both sides the confidence to plan ahead and build on everything we’ve achieved together.
Why Tender Length Matters
This extended agreement is more than a formality—it allows us to take a long-term view of tree care. Instead of quick fixes, we can deliver:
- Consistent, proactive management of the entire tree stock
- Strategic planning for sustainability and tree health
- Efficient coordination of remedial works across multiple campuses
- Smoother projects thanks to council liaison and consent management
Expertise, Care & Collaboration
Our approach blends technical skill with care for the environment. Independent surveyors identify remedial works, and our experienced management team—supported by dedicated office staff—coordinate everything with precision and attention to detail. By working closely with the council, we ensure that all necessary consents are in place, keeping projects compliant and on schedule throughout the year.
More Than Just Tree Work
For us, this partnership is about more than tree surgery. It’s about:
- Protecting the environment across university campuses
- Ensuring safety for students, staff, and visitors
- Making outdoor spaces greener and more welcoming
- Building on a decade of trust and collaboration
A Long-Term Commitment
With ten years already behind us and up to five more ahead, Climbers Way Tree Care is proud to continue supporting the University of Southampton.

We recently completed our second cycle of pollarding mature London plane trees for Oxfordshire County Council. This essential work helps ensure the longevity and safety of these stunning trees, which overhang both lanes and surrounding houses in two village locations.
The Importance of Pollarding
Pollarding is a vital tree management technique that:
- Reduces weight load to prevent structural failure
- Encourages healthy regrowth and extends tree lifespan
- Maintains safe clearances over roads and residential areas
- Minimises risk of large limb failure in high-traffic locations
Precision Planning & Teamwork
Given the scale of this project, we deployed four dedicated teams, working over the course of a full week to complete the pollarding efficiently and safely. Coordination was key, ensuring minimal disruption to both residents and road users.
Working with the Community
Pollarding trees in village settings requires close collaboration with both the council and local residents. We engaged with the community throughout the process, ensuring they understood the benefits of the work and minimising any inconvenience.
Why Oxfordshire County Council Trusts Climbers Way Tree Care
- Proven experience in large-scale pollarding projects
- Expert coordination to minimise disruption in village settings
- Dedicated, highly skilled teams ensuring efficient completion
- Commitment to tree health and preservation in urban environments
Preserving Oxfordshire’s Urban Tree Canopy
Pollarding helps to balance safety with conservation, ensuring that mature trees continue to thrive for years to come. We’re proud to work with Oxfordshire County Council and local communities to keep these trees standing strong.
If your urban or roadside trees require specialist pollarding, contact Climbers Way Tree Care for expert solutions.
With Cala Homes set to build over 500 new homes in Basingstoke, protecting existing trees on-site was a top priority. We were instructed to install over 2,000 meters of tree protection fencing to ensure that all trees remained undisturbed throughout the development process.
Preserving Green Spaces in New Developments
Tree protection fencing is a crucial step in responsible development. It ensures:
- No root damage from construction vehicles and groundworks
- Safeguarding of mature trees to enhance the future landscape
- Compliance with planning regulations for sustainable development
- Minimisation of environmental impact during construction
A Project Focused on Conservation
Unlike removal or remedial works, this project allowed our team to focus on the long-term preservation of trees, ensuring they will thrive alongside the new homes. It’s rewarding to be part of a project that prioritises the integration of trees into modern development.
Meeting Deadlines & Delivering Quality
With a clear timeline in place, our team ensured that all fencing was installed efficiently and securely, keeping the project on schedule. By working closely with Cala Homes, we provided:
- Strategic placement of fencing to protect tree roots and canopies
- Strong, durable fencing to withstand the construction phase
- Regular checks to ensure continued protection throughout the build
Why Cala Homes Chose Climbers Way Tree Care
- Expertise in large-scale tree protection for development projects
- Efficient and reliable installation within strict timelines
- Commitment to tree conservation in new housing developments
- Seamless coordination with site managers to prevent delays
Building a Greener Future
This project highlights the importance of balancing development with environmental responsibility. By protecting existing trees, Cala Homes is creating a greener, more sustainable living space for future residents.
If your development project requires expert tree protection measures, Climbers Way Tree Care is ready to help.
