Tree Removals​


There are times when a tree just has to be removed. This could be for many reasons, including disease, age or health and safety issues. When a tree poses a risk to human life or property damage it may need removing altogether. Although we hate the removal of trees and will try anything to preserve them, sometimes we have no choice. Often trees are planted in the wrong location and can eventually outgrow their position, either on residential properties and commercial land. If you would like to know a tree removal cost then please contact us for a free quotation and friendly advice.

Is Ground Heave An Issue I Should Be Concerned About?

As a general rule, ground heave is not something that you should be too worried about. This is because the roots of the tree will eventually decay and settle into their new surroundings. However, if you are concerned about ground heave, engage our tree removal service to discuss your options. We have reviewed this subject of ground heave extensively on this page.

Tree Felling


Tree felling is a professional service that we offer our residential and commercial customers in Chesterfield. Felling a tree is a procedure of removing an unwanted tree in a calculated method. Every tree is different and needs to be risk assessed before the felling of the tree commences. Depending on the trees location, size, lean and condition, we might have to sectional dismantle and use various ropes and rigging to bring the tree down piece by piece as this may cause damage to the surrounding environment. This is usually the case in urban areas with houses, buildings and people present. Call us now if you need a tree felled and we can advise and quote you for this particular service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tree Services

Why do I need to call a tree surgeon?

Tree surgeons are highly skilled professionals who can help in a variety of situations. Trees may become hazardous due to a variety of causes such as storms, decay or disease, or unexpected growth that has caused them to overhang into adjacent properties. Tree surgeons have the necessary skills and qualifications to trim trees safely and properly. In addition, tree surgery is often necessary in order to protect the health of a tree, and is beneficial for maintaining its growth and structure. If you have an old or diseased tree on your property, it may be at risk of falling or becoming hazardous. A tree surgeon can identify any potential danger and provide preventive measures such as pruning, shaping, or cabling to ensure safety. Tree surgeons also provide advice on how to maintain the health of a tree, such as recommending insect and disease controls. In addition, they can help with the removal or transplanting of trees if needed. By employing a qualified tree surgeon, you can ensure that your trees are properly cared for and remain safe and secure.


Can I cut a tree down in my own garden?

Yes, you can cut down a tree in your own garden, but there are several important considerations to keep in mind before doing so. First and foremost, you must check if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if your property is within a designated conservation area. Both conditions typically require permission from your local council before any tree work can begin. Additionally, it’s advisable to consult with a professional arborist to assess the tree's health and potential risks involved in its removal. Engaging experts can ensure that the tree is safely and effectively cut down, minimising any impact on the surrounding environment and adhering to local regulations.


Can my Neighbour cut down a tree in my garden?

Your neighbour does not have the legal right to cut down a tree that is solely located within your property boundary without your permission. If any part of the tree, such as branches or roots, extends into your neighbour's garden, they have the right to trim the overhanging parts, but only up to the property line. However, they must not harm the health of the tree, and any trimmings must be offered back to you or appropriately disposed of with your agreement. It’s always best to discuss any tree issues amicably with your neighbour before taking action, and if necessary, seek advice from a professional arborist to ensure that any work complies with local laws and regulations. If a tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a conservation area, further permissions may be required regardless of whose property it is on.



Do I need permission to have work carried out on my trees?

In the UK, you need permission to do certain types of work on trees in certain circumstances. This includes pruning and felling (cutting down) trees, removing dead or dangerous branches, and carrying out repairs or strengthening works. It is important to check if you need permission before going ahead with any tree work.


Trees in conservation areas or those that are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) may require permission from your local council before any work can be done. If you are unsure whether a tree is subject to any restrictions, you should contact your local council for advice.


If permission is not granted, or if the work carried out breaches any conditions set out in the approval, then you may be fined or prosecuted. It is important to check the details of any permission obtained and make sure that they are followed carefully.


If your tree is protected by a TPO, it is an offence to carry out any work without permission from the local council covering the area in which your tree grows. Depending on the situation, your local council can also serve you with an enforcement notice, prohibiting the work and demanding that any work done is reversed.


Tree owners are responsible for the maintenance and care of their trees and must take reasonable steps to ensure that they do not present a risk to people or property. If a tree on your land becomes dangerous or damaged, it is important to contact a qualified and experienced arborist or surveyor to inspect it and assess the risk. The advice they give may include recommending that you prune, pollard, fell, or deadwood your tree.


How much does a tree surgeon cost?

The cost of a tree surgeon varies depending on the type and complexity of the job undertaken. Generally, a tree surgeon will charge an hourly rate based on the amount of work involved, or a fixed price, and taking into account any additional services they provide. Factors that can influence how much a tree surgeon charges include:


  • The experience level of the tree surgeon.
  • The location of the job.
  • The size, type, and age of trees that need to be worked on.
  • The specific services being requested (e.g., pruning, removal, stump grinding).


Tree surgeons may also offer additional services such as debris removal or landscape design that can impact their overall cost. When seeking out a tree surgeon, it is important to ask for an exact quote and get it in writing. This can help ensure that you are aware of all costs associated with the tree surgery work before it begins.


In addition to the cost of labour, there may also be additional expenses involved such as equipment rental fees or material costs. Be sure to ask your chosen tree surgeon about any additional costs that may apply. A reputable, experienced tree surgeon will be honest and up-front with all fees associated with the job.


It is also important to keep in mind that the cost of a tree surgeon can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the work required. The type and age of trees, the size of the job, and the region in which you live can all influence the cost. Additionally, a specialist tree surgeon may charge more than a general contractor due to their advanced skill level.


Finally, it is important to remember that sometimes the most expensive option is not necessarily the best one when hiring a tree surgeon. It is important to consider the company’s professionalism, reliability, and insurance coverage as well.


Can trees damage my property?

Yes, trees can damage your property. Overhanging branches can cause significant damage to roof tiles and gutters, while strong winds or heavy snowfall can cause large trees to topple, which could impact the structure of your home. Additionally, aggressive tree roots and ground heave can interfere with sewage lines, crack foundations and pathways and even lift concrete slabs. Therefore, it's important to monitor the health and growth of trees near your property and to remove any dead or diseased branches that could be a danger. It's also important to make sure you don't plant too close to your home – the minimum distance depends on the size and type of tree you're planting. If in doubt, consult an arborist for advice on what to plant and how close you can plant it. In some cases, removing a tree is the only way to protect your property from damage, but this isn't always necessary – our tree surgeons and arborists in Chesterfield will provide guidance on the best option for your specific situation. With proper planning and maintenance, trees can be an asset rather than a liability, adding beauty and value to your property. 


When is the best time of year to have work done to my trees and hedges?

The best time of year to have work done on your trees and hedges will depend largely on the type of tree or hedge that you are dealing with. In general, most species of tree do better when pruning is done in late winter or early spring. This allows for growth to occur before summer and any dead branches cut off during pruning can heal before the colder weather. Hedges should also be pruned during late winter or early spring, as this will allow for better growth and healthier branches. However, some species of the hedge may require additional trimming later in the season. In any case, timing is important and you should consult with a professional arborist or horticulturist to ensure that your trees and hedges are being pruned at the right time of year. Doing so will help keep them healthy and thriving for years to come.


If you’re looking to do some tree cutting work this season, be sure to contact our local tree surgeons in Chesterfield to get the best advice for your particular species and environment. They can help you determine the best time of year to have work done on your trees and hedges, as well as provide sound advice on how to properly care for them throughout the year. Taking this extra step will ensure that your trees remain a healthy part of your landscape for years to come!


Do mature trees need special care?

Mature trees typically require less maintenance than newly planted trees, however, they still need special care to ensure their health and longevity. Regularly removing dead or decaying wood, pruning excess branches, and inspecting for pests are all important aspects of keeping a mature tree healthy. A professional arborist can help assess a mature tree's needs and determine the best course of action for its particular needs. Furthermore, regular mulching and fertilising can help promote healthy tree growth and protect against disease. Watering during periods of drought is also important as mature trees need at least an inch of water per week to stay healthy. Finally, providing adequate space around the base of a mature tree will ensure proper air circulation and prevent disease. Taking proper care of a mature tree can help to keep it healthy, safe, and beautiful.
