About Julian Schad, Tree Surgeon

Julian Schad has been working with trees since 1988, originally with the well-respected Borders Tree Surgeon Roger Cowper from Selkirk.


He learned the ropes working in some fine old estates with ancient trees, orchards and arboretums, before the days of noisy chippers before going on to become the principal tree climber for Kusche and Frotscher in Hamburg (German arborists being forbidden to access trees with ropes and harnesses due to complicated insurance reasons!). 


After his spell in Hamburg, Julian studied Arboriculture at Merrist Wood Agricultural College in Surrey, there being no colleges teaching it in Scotland at the time. After College, Julian started his own business in 1991 in Dunblane, Central Scotland. 


Twenty four years later the business operates from Braco just north of Dunblane.


Since that time the business has steadily grown to a team of three employees with Julian still climbing! 


We work all over Scotland from Stornaway to Hawick and even down in Ringwood, Hampshire on the edge of the New Forest and as far afield as Rostock, formerly in East Germany although most of our work centers around Bridge of Allan, Dunblane, Stirling and Auchterarder.
