Let’s get one thing clear: tree surgeons are absolute legends. You climb tall things with chainsaws in your hands, turn unruly hedges into sculpted masterpieces, and somehow manage not to get attacked by squirrels. Frankly, you deserve medals. But medals won’t help your business grow — websites will.
In 2025, if you're still relying on word of mouth, business cards pinned to petrol station noticeboards, or your aunt Brenda’s recommendation on Facebook, then it's time to climb out of the metaphorical tree and enter the digital age. Here's why every tree surgeon needs a website — and why Zixel is the best pruning partner for the job.
People Google Before They Giggle
When someone needs a tree surgeon, what do they do? They Google "tree surgeon near me", not "check out that unbranded van outside the chippy." If your name doesn’t show up on search engines, you might as well be hiding behind a hedge.
A good website helps you get found. A GREAT website (like the ones we build at Zixel) gets you found and makes you look like the botanical superhero you are.
Your Competitors Already Have One
Gary from Leaf Legends Tree Services has a slick website. Sarah from Stump Smashers Ltd? Website. Even that guy with the chainsaw tattoo and suspiciously few safety goggles — yep, website.
If you don’t have one, customers assume:
- You're not real
- You're too busy to take on new work
- You're still faxing quotes
Don’t let Gary win. You’re better than Gary.
Showcase Your Skills (And Your Chainsaw Collection)
Tree surgery is art. Don’t believe us? Show us a maple tree you’ve just crown-reduced and tell us it’s not the Sistine Chapel of suburban gardening.
A website lets you show off before-and-after photos, testimonials from delighted (and safely un-squashed) clients, and even videos of you doing your thing — with full safety gear, obviously.
It builds trust, shows you're professional, and helps people understand what they’re paying for. Plus, if you throw in a few pictures of adorable woodland creatures watching you work, who could resist?
Instant Quotes = Instant Jobs
You’re busy. Between branch removals, emergency call-outs, and trying not to fall into ponds, there’s not a lot of time left in the day. A good website can save you HOURS.
Add a simple form for quotes, a FAQ section for the "Do you do conifers?" crowd, and maybe even online booking if you’re feeling fancy. That’s less time answering the same questions, and more time in the trees where you belong.
24/7 Advertising Without Climbing a Ladder
Your website doesn’t sleep. It doesn’t need a tea break. It doesn’t pretend to work while secretly watching YouTube.
It’s working 24/7, attracting new clients, building your brand, and telling people "Yes, we can remove that terrifying tree leaning towards your conservatory."
It’s like having a personal assistant who doesn’t steal your biscuits.
