The craft
Good pruning keeps your trees healthy, safe and well shaped. An English-speaking climbing tree surgeon based in Soustons, South West Élagage prunes trees right across the coast, from Léon, Moliets-et-Maa, Messanges, Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains, Soustons, Seignosse, Soorts-Hossegor, Capbreton, Magescq, Tosse et Dax.
The cuts we make
Every tree is different — we match the work to its species, age and surroundings.
- Crown thinning
- A light prune to open the tree up and keep it healthy.
- Crown reduction
- Brings size down near houses and power lines.
- Deadwooding
- Removes dead and dangerous limbs.
- Formative pruning
- Shapes young trees for a sound future structure.
How a job works
We climb on rope or work from a platform depending on access, with well-maintained professional equipment. The site is cordoned off and safe, the business is fully insured, and we clear up afterwards — branches are chipped and all green waste is taken away.
Need a tree taken down instead? See tree felling & removal. We also handle hedge trimming.
