An experienced tree surgeon with a passion for arboriculture that spans over eight years, holding City and Guilds NPTC and Lantra qualifications. I have worked across a multitude of projects from small domestic gardens to large scale commercial projects requiring plant machinery.
From comprehensive tree assessments to strategic pruning and removals, I bring a holistic approach to projects of all sizes and can assist with large scale projects requiring larger teams and equipment such as cherry pickers and Hiab vehicles with qualified operators.
I take a paramount approach to health and safety, adhering to the highest industry standards, ensuring every project is executed with precision and precaution, while being fully protected by our public liability insurance. Safeguarding not only the trees we care for, but also the well-being of our clients and the environment.
There are many reasons why a tree would need to be removed, such as being diseased, dead, damaged or too close to property.
Our team is experienced in all aspects of tree removal, including felling, assisted felling and dismantles. If there is not enough space to fell in a safe and controlled manner, the tree will be climbed and dismantled in smaller sections.
There are a number of factors to take into account when working with trees, including species, age, the time of year and surroundings. Our trained arborists will give you the information you need to make an educated decision to keep your trees happy and healthy.
Recycled wood can be incredibly useful, it can be used as fuel, in your flower beds to keep weeds at bay, for animal bedding, mulches. All of the trees we carry out work on are recycled. We chip all the branches and take the wood chippings to the recycling center.
The logs we supply are premium hardwood that we have processed, seasoned, split and put into vented bags which allows air to pass through, keeping the logs dry.

We understand that garden maintenance can take a lot of upkeep, the work can become far too big for someone without the proper equipment. We can clear gardens of all small trees and vegetation which will open up your garden, give you more space and keep your property looking tidy.
We can remove stumps and roots to below ground level making it easy to re-plant and build. Another option would be to kill off the stump to prevent any regrowth. We can do this using ‘eco plugs’, this kills off the stump and ensures there is no contamination to the environment.
My wife and I have employed Marcos for 4 full days of Treework. ..... Some of it not straightforward. We enjoyed employing Marcos.....he is well organised , turns up on time , has the appropriate equipment and can call on additional plant and equipment. He works hard. He listens ,pays attention to safety needs and tidies up before finishing. Perhaps the reason we enjoyed employing him was because he is just a pleasant professional person.
Hercules tree care services first supported us back in 2016. Marcos and his team did tree pruning, shaping, tree felling, dismantling, and hedge cutting and made logs for us and garden clearance. They were professional, friendly, reliable and safe at all times. Our large trees were becoming too tall and overhanging the pavement. Marcos and his team, shaped them beautifully and we got more light in the garden, they were preserved very well. Only one large tree needed to come down for safety reasons and it was next of a wall and greenhouse which he manoeuvred with his experience. We highly recommend using Marcos and his team, His prices are completive.
Hercules tree care services has done work for us since September 2016, in several of our nurseries. Marcos and his team, have done tree felling and dismantling, for safety reasons and tree pruning and shaping, hedge cutting and made logs for us, and chipped the branches for nursery garden use. They regularly check our woodland class room at our Heriot watt nursery to maintain safety for the children. Marcos is very polite, reliable, and friendly. His prices compares fairly with other companies in the area. He has a professional team and has all the safety equipment. He is flexible to work when our business is closed at the weekend, so that the children are not in when they were carrying out the work.
Hercules Tree Care Services was recommended to me by a friend, when I was looking for a tree surgeon to take down a tree in my garden. Marcos was professional from start to finish. When he was carrying out the works he demonstrated excellent health and safety measures. He ensured that he protected the other areas of my garden and property, such as the fences and grass.
I was very impressed with how organised he was, he took away all debris, ensuring my garden was back to its original state. As a family we are delighted with how much light we now get in our garden since the tree has been removed, and how healthy our grass is due to the sunlight shining on it. I would highly recommend Hercules (Marcos) to anyone needing any tree work carried out.
