Tree surgery in Abriachan, established 2008.
Wyvis Tree Services Ltd is a local arborist company providing professional tree surgery, sectional dismantling and storm-damage response in Abriachan and the wider Highland area.
High-ground community above the loch.
Abriachan is the hill community high above Loch Ness — IV3 covers Abriachan, Bunchrew and Dochgarroch. The famous community-owned forest dominates the area, and gardens here are a wind-shaped blend of birch, rowan, Scots pine and old shelter-belt hardwoods.
Wyvis carries out crown-reduction work on exposed mature trees, sectional dismantling of windblown casualties, and small-scale woodland thinning on private plots.

Common questions for Abriachan customers.
Something we haven't covered? Ask us directly.
Can you work on very steep loch-side sites?
Yes — most of our Loch Ness work is rope-and-harness sectional dismantling, sometimes with an MEWP if we can get one in. Ground-felling is rarely the right answer on those slopes.
What's the safest time of year for pruning Scots pines & loch-side trees?
Late autumn through to late winter is generally best — and we always check for nesting birds whatever the season.
Are you fully insured?
Yes — Wyvis Tree Services Ltd carries comprehensive Public & Employer Liability cover. Evidence available on request before any quote is accepted.
Do I need consent to fell or prune my tree?
Possibly. Trees in a Conservation Area or under a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) need consent from the local planning authority, and conifer hedges over 2m can fall under the High Hedges (Scotland) Act 2013. We check before starting and can submit the 6-week notice on your behalf.
How quickly can you come out?
For a written quote we usually visit within a week. For storm or emergency call-outs (fallen trees, hung-up limbs, road blockages) we aim for same-day cover whenever we possibly can.
