Our Story
The Martial Arborist was founded on a unique philosophy: that the discipline of martial arts and the craft of arboriculture share the same core principles. For years, our founder Oli Jackson honed his skills on the Jiu-Jitsu mat, mastering patience, leverage, and meticulous control. He discovered the unwavering focus and efficiency required in martial arts were the exact skills needed to safely and perfectly sculpt trees and hedges.
This synergy is at the heart of our service in Leeds. We combine a martial artist's mindset with an expert arborist’s knowledge, ensuring every cut is deliberate and precise. From delicate hedge trimming to complex tree surgery, we guarantee a service defined by discipline, respect for your property, and a truly flawless finish.
