Marcus Dean is a senior arborist and tree-care consultant with more than twenty-five years’ experience serving Purley, Kenley and the wider South London area. He began his career as a climbing arborist before progressing into surveying and project management, giving him a unique combination of hands-on skill and regulatory insight. Over the years, Marcus has supervised thousands of successful tree operations — from complex dismantling of large conifers in tight suburban gardens to detailed BS5837 survey coordination for housing developments and local authorities. His technical expertise includes advanced rigging, decay detection, sectional dismantling and habitat-sensitive pruning. Marcus also advises homeowners on species selection, root-zone preservation and long-term maintenance planning. His clients describe him as calm, meticulous and approachable — someone who communicates clearly and works with integrity. Marcus holds multiple industry qualifications, maintains up-to-date NPTC and LANTRA certifications, and follows the latest HSE guidelines for safe arboriculture. Passionate about trees, he believes the best results come from understanding both science and aesthetics. Whether he’s coordinating a major crown reduction, guiding a client through a conservation application, or restoring overgrown hedges, Marcus ensures that every decision benefits the tree, the property and the wider environment.
