A LITTLE ABOUT US

Hey I’m Ben, the owner of HMA Tree Care.

HMA Tree Care was set up over a decade ago following a career in agriculture. Through this gaining vast knowledge of farm life and agricultural plant operation.

As the years went by, I invested in machinery and established HM Agri Services. Primarily focusing on Agricultural contracting across the Fylde Coast.  Gaining contacts through being a local contractor, I was drafted every year to assist with the Christmas tree harvest at our local plantation.

Naturally, I developed a passion and interest in Arboriculture and I pursued opportunities in Cumbria so I could gain experience in this industry. The experience gained from contracting for a well-established arborist allowed me to obtain and achieve all the relevant qualifications, education and knowledge to found HMA Tree Care.
