Alt Arb Ltd

Alt Arb Ltd Alt Arb Ltd is a family run business that begun life in October 2010 as a self employed business operating as Altitude Arboriculture.

At Alt Arb we provide all aspects of tree surgery services from commercial contracts to residential tree care we’ve got you covered with over 15 years experience within the industry. In recent years the business has grown from strength to strength and in December 2018 we decided to form Alt Arb Ltd. The business has evolved from the initial introduction into woodland management several years ago i

nto a successful tree surgery business offering a range of arboricultural services to Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. We’ve been able to develop our skills and arboricultural knowledge which has allowed us to undertake tree work for a range of domestic and commercial clients. From simple pruning to complete tree removals of large trees in confined areas, utilising our specialist skills and equipment we aim to complete the job safely and efficiently. As well as our tree surgery services we also provide stump management services, including stump grinding. Our aim is to provide a professional service that gives our clients the best management for their trees, whether it be a single tree or an entire woodland. All of the tree surgery work we undertake is carried out in accordance with the guidance stated in BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations. We can also liaise with Local Authorities on the client’s behalf when undertaking work on trees with Tree Preservations Orders or within Conservation Areas. When required we will also liaise with Utility Authorities to arrange additional requirements such as Power line Shutdowns. As a business we’re looking to the future and increasing our client base steadily along with continuing in providing a great service to all our existing clients.

📍 Pauntley Court - Specialist Water Access Dismantling

When access is impossible, the solution has to be engineered.

A recent project at Pauntley Court, the historic birthplace of Dick Whittington, presented a technically demanding scenario.

A mature Crack Willow had suffered a major limb failure, leaving significant weight suspended over a pond island with no direct ground access.

Swipe to see the access constraints and rigging setup.



🔧 Engineered Solution

This was not a standard dismantle.

A Norwegian reeve system was designed and installed, anchored from the mainland and paired with a traction bollard, allowing us to:
• Safely haul severed timber across open water
• Maintain full control of load movement from a remote rigging point
• Precisely manage forces throughout the dismantling process

All climbing and rigging equipment was installed within the tree and transferred across by boat, with a large proportion of the work carried out directly from the water.



⚠️ Access and Risk Management

Working from a boat introduces a completely different operating environment:
• Constantly shifting work platform
• Restricted positioning and stability
• Increased reliance on rigging accuracy and system control

Through structured planning, controlled rigging systems, and disciplined ex*****on, the work was completed safely, efficiently, and without environmental impact to the pond or surrounding landscape.



🌿 Outcome

The failed limb was fully removed, all material extracted to the mainland, and the site left clean, controlled, and ready for ongoing estate management.



💼 Why This Matters

This is where advanced rigging and access techniques separate standard tree work from specialist contracting.

We regularly support:
• Estates and private landowners
• Developers and commercial sites
• Infrastructure and utility clients

where access is restricted, risk is elevated, and precision is non-negotiable.

Mature Wisteria pruning session ✂️ for a loyal customer in Westbury On Severn!

Can't wait to see it bloom later this year. We first pruned this beauty in early 2025, retraining the vines to accentuate the Georgian architecture.

Next step? Training it up the side to create a stunning floral frame. 🏠

Repollarding a Common Ash tree to maintain the tree’s crown from interrupting the Utility Lines located adjacent to the tree.

We’d previously pollarded the tree back in 2019 for our client and by maintaining the pollard we’re able to maintain the tree as a feature in the front garden of the property.

Working in conjunction with the tree work was carried out during a Power-line Shutdown due to the proximity of the Low Voltage Power-lines.
