“I've spent my working life outdoors with a passion for trees and the natural environment.”

I'm Conrad Jochems, originally from New Zealand, and I've spent my working life outdoors with a passion for trees and the natural environment. Since moving to the UK in 2020, I qualified as a tree surgeon and have spent the last six years working as a subcontract climbing arborist all over England, gaining experience in a wide range of Tree jobs from crane assisted removals to fruit tree pruning.

I'm committed to carrying out every job safely, professionally, and with the long-term health of the tree in mind. Rather than recommending unnecessary work, I believe in honest advice and practical solutions that balance my clients' needs with sustainable tree management.

I recently achieved my ISA Certified Arborist qualification to further develop my knowledge and offer the highest standard of service. Combining hands-on climbing experience with up-to-date arboricultural knowledge lets me make informed recommendations and deliver high-quality work that protects both people and trees.
