Commercial Tree Clearance at Holiday Inn, Birmingham Airport | CJ Tree Surgeons
Commercial tree clearance carried out by arborist at Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport car park
Restoring Safety and Natural Light for a Busy Hotel Car Park
When the management team at Holiday Inn, Birmingham Airport sought to address a persistent safety and visibility issue caused by overgrown trees, they turned to a trusted name in commercial arboriculture: CJ Tree Surgeons.
The task was clear: remove a dense row of mature cypress trees situated between the Holiday Inn and the neighbouring Travelodge. Not only were the trees blocking natural light to the car park and reception frontage, but they also created an untidy impression and introduced potential safety risks for guests and vehicles.
Referred via a professional contact on LinkedIn, the client required a team who could work quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption to ongoing hotel operations.
The Challenge: Overgrown Trees Creating Safety Concerns
The car park at Birmingham Airport’s Holiday Inn is a high-traffic area with constant footfall from travellers, guests, and staff. Over the years, a row of cypress trees bordering the site had become excessively large and intrusive.
Issues Identified:
Reduced natural light into key access points, including the car park and reception
Safety risks for guests navigating under or around overhanging branches
A dated and cluttered visual impression, which clashed with the hotel’s clean branding
Logistical complexity, as the work had to be done between two operational hotels with limited room for equipment access
The hotel sought a professional solution that would restore safety and aesthetics while keeping both guests and operations undisturbed throughout.

Our Solution: Precision Tree Reduction by Certified Arborists
After a thorough on-site assessment, CJ Tree Surgeons presented two potential approaches: reduce the trees by 50% or fully remove them. Following client consultation, the decision was made to reduce the row as close to ground level as possible.
Our ARB-approved, NPTC-certified team carried out the work using controlled dismantling techniques to ensure a safe and efficient outcome.
Services Delivered:
Full tree assessment and planning around car park traffic
Sectional tree reductions performed by experienced climbers
Roped rigging to safely lower all debris in confined space
On-site chipping and complete removal of timber and green waste
Full site clearance and post-job sweep-down of surrounding areas
The project was completed within a tight timeframe and exceeded expectations for both speed and site cleanliness.
