Tree surgery in Ardersier, established 2008.
Wyvis Tree Services Ltd is a local arborist company providing professional tree surgery, sectional dismantling and storm-damage response in Ardersier and the wider Highland area.
Coastal village near Fort George.
Ardersier is a salt-air, north-facing coastal village right on the Moray Firth, with Fort George at the tip. Trees and hedges here lead a hard life — wind-pruned by the easterlies and bathed in sea-spray — so they need a slightly different touch.
Wyvis works across Ardersier on coastal-tolerant pruning, crown reduction to reduce wind-throw risk, and replanting failed trees with species that actually thrive in IV2 maritime conditions.
Common Ardersier jobs

Common questions for Ardersier customers.
Something we haven't covered? Ask us directly.
Will my coastal trees ever recover from salt damage?
Often, yes — but it depends on species and severity. We can assess and recommend a pruning plan plus replacement species if anything's beyond saving.
What grows well in this exposed position?
On the Moray Firth coast we'd typically suggest hardier choices: Scots pine, sycamore, hawthorn, sea-buckthorn for shelter; escallonia, olearia or griselinia for hedging.
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.
