About Us

TREE WORK YOU CAN TRUST

Hey! I'm Jake, owner of Front Runner Tree Services. A fully insured and qualified arborist with a degree (BSc) in Arboriculture and Urban Forestry — graduating in 2021 — as well as all relevant NPTC qualifications.

Having worked locally, contracting for other tree services in and around Lancaster, and travelling the world in my free time, I made the leap to move overseas where I spent a few years working within the tree care industry in Gold Coast, Australia. This gave me unforgettable hands-on experience working in a completely different environment — and personally helped shape my hardworking, reliable and easy-going approach.

Having moved back to the UK in late 2025, Front Runner Tree Services was born. We offer international experience, high safety standards and a passion for keeping your trees and hedges healthy, and your property safe.

Every quote goes out with marked-up photos showing where each cut will land. No mystery, no regret. And the job ends the way it should: trees healthy, garden clean, you happy enough to leave a kind word on Google.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

GH

“Jake is really good at tree surgery. Over the past 20 yrs we've hired various people to prune our trees. We live in a conservation area so it all has to be done per Council approval. Jake was exceptional, he sent us the best ever plan for the work (photos marked up with lines where the cuts would be, really easy to see what it will look like when the job is done). Finally, Jake gave the best priced quote I received. He's the best we've had in 20 yrs here in Lancaster.”

“Jake provided a virtually perfect service. He quoted promptly and reasonably. He turned up to do the work as promised and took down a large conifer with a minimum of fuss, leaving the slices of tree trunk neatly stacked and the woodchipped branches in a convenient pile for us to use. If you are needing tree work done he's your man.”

“Jake is a great lad and done a cracking job, no issues at all. Will 100% use this company again. Nothing was an issue at all, I had about 10 30ft conifers removed from my property.”
