No tree surgeon listed in Tillydrone yet.

A tree surgeon carries out specialist tree work - pruning, crown reduction, felling, stump grinding and emergency storm damage clearance.

Trees near buildings, power lines or boundaries need professional attention - chainsaw work at height is not a DIY job under any circumstances.

Check they carry public liability insurance and ask whether the trees are covered by a Tree Preservation Order or are in a conservation area before any work begins.

Tillydrone is a compact residential neighbourhood on the north side of Aberdeen, tucked between Old Aberdeen and the River Don. Most of the current housing dates from the mid-twentieth century.

A community campus, opened in recent years, has brought together a primary school, nursery, library and community facilities under one roof.

Tillydrone's location gives easy access to the university campus and Seaton Park, which lies immediately to the east along the banks of the Don.

Bus services run frequently along Tillydrone Avenue to the city centre and the area is within walking distance of Old Aberdeen.

Aberdeen is Scotland's third-largest city, built where the rivers Dee and Don meet the North Sea on the north-east coast. Known as the Granite City for the distinctive silvery stone used in much of its architecture, Aberdeen has a visual character unlike any other Scottish city - handsome, austere and striking in its uniformity.

The city has been shaped by successive waves of industry: fishing and shipbuilding gave way to textiles and paper-making and from the 1970s the discovery of North Sea oil transformed Aberdeen into the energy capital of Europe. The oil industry brought international investment, a cosmopolitan population and decades of prosperity.

Union Street, the mile-long granite backbone of the city centre, connects the historic Castlegate to the west end, while the waterfront has been reimagined with new developments along the harbour and beach. The city has two universities - the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495 and Robert Gordon University - and a large teaching hospital at Foresterhill.

Aberdeen's neighbourhoods are diverse: the leafy western suburbs of Cults, Milltimber and Bieldside along the Dee; the northern suburbs of Bridge of Don and Dyce near the airport; the inner-city character of Rosemount and Old Aberdeen; and the south-side communities of Torry and Kincorth.

Transport connections include Aberdeen International Airport at Dyce, a main-line railway station with services to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and London and the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route which has transformed road access around the city.
