About J&D Clark

We are a small family run Arboricultural business that was started in 1960 by Derek Clark.
John, son of Derek entered fully into the business after 3 years at Merrist Wood College obtaining an OND Arboriculture.

In the mid eighties we attained the Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status.

To maintain this our business is vetted every 2 years, with all aspects being appraised, from office procedures to quality of work. With inspections of tree surgery, tree felling, dismantling, crown thinning and tree planting. During this inspection a broad professional knowledge has to be demonstrated.

Insurances, qualifications, health and safety certification as well as checks into the implementation of all legislation a small business of our type has to adhere to.

J & D Clark Treework Specialists simple aim has always been to provide our customers with a top quality arboricultural service, for tree surgery, tree pruning, tree felling, stump grinding, hedge cutting and tree planting and provide the best tree work possible.

We work within an approximate 30 mile radius of our Chesham base, and perform tree surgery, tree felling etc in Amersham, High Wycombe, Chalfont St Giles, Chalfont St Peter, Great Missenden, Prestwood, Princes Risborough, Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, Denham, Berkhamstead, Aylesbury and many smaller surrounding villages.

Our tree care business has developed over the years becoming larger, better equipped, highly efficient and environmentally conscious. We process all our branch debris through specialist wood chippers capable of producing a consistent quality chip. This enables J & D Clark to send the majority of our tree felling and tree surgery waste to slough power station where it is used for renewable energy.

J & D Clark Treework Specialists only use vegetable based chain oils, this prevents environmental contamination from the total loss lubrication systems of chainsaws.
