Tree Removal
We will take any problem tree down with care to ensure that it doesn't cause any problems. For the customers who have a difficult situation like having their trees next to utility cables, near buildings or just in the way of progress, then we can help remove them safely and securely by using our skills at something we call in the business as sectional dismantling; this process starts on top of the tree’s branches and we work our way down, gradually taking the tree away piece by piece until the tree has gone! Straight felling a tree close to buildings can cause all sorts of problems as you can imagine if it fell the wrong way and struck something it shouldn’t. Sectional dismantling with specialist equipment such as ropes, pulleys and rigging is the safest way by sure, we even use cranes on occasion if the tree is very large and needs to be lifted over obstacles. The cost of tree removal can only be assessed onsite, as every tree removed is different and the price needs to be carefully worked out by looking at various things such as the size of the tree, position of the tree, and the overall complexity of the project. But I assure you we will give you the keenest price for any
tree removal in Ripley. Our quotes are free so give us a call if you have a tree that is in a dangerous position, or sick and diseased, best get it looked at promptly, because the last thing you want is it to fall through natural occurrence or blown over by adverse weather conditions. You will be in the safe hands of
Derbyshire's tree surgery experts.
Tree Felling
Do you need a tree felled for any reason?
Tree felling is the process of cutting down or removing trees. Common reasons for doing this are to stop a fruit tree producing fruit, because it has become diseased and could spread the disease to other healthy trees in a garden. It can also be done to create a certain sight line from one area to another, such as when building a house where all the trees must be removed.
Tree felling requires skilled operators who know precisely which limbs need to be pruned off each tree before it is cut down. Some types of tree require more pruning than others do, depending on shape and size, as well as type of wood that they produce. The safest way to begin removal is by first climbing into the tree with a small saw if finishing the job from the ground is difficult. Our professional tree felling is safe and secure as we take every health and safety precaution during the felling of every tree. We have a 100% Safety record.

Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning
Crown Raising / Crown Lifting
Tree crown raising is the process of increasing the vertical height of a tree's canopy through the use of specialised climbing equipment. The desired outcome is an increase in tree health, productivity and well being. The benefits derived from this service are also environmental. By increasing the healthy leaf area per tree, you allow for more carbon dioxide uptake which reduces ozone levels in your area. This results in cleaner air which provides positive environmental effects all around!
Tree crown lifting does not have any negative side effects on your garden or home and either type (lifting or raising) should be done at least once every five years for optimal health. This type of
tree trimming service is very popular with our clients.
Crown Thinning / Crown Reduction
It's that time of the year again, when winter is just beginning to settle in surrounding climates. Temperatures are dropping drastically and trees are losing their leaves. This change allows for homeowners to begin thinking about the benefits of having tree crown reduction service performed on their trees. Tree crown reduction service can be very helpful by opening up tree canopy, allowing more light to reach the ground level which helps grass grow longer and thicker. The overall health of your lawn depends heavily on photosynthesis - a process where plants create nutrients from sunlight. Opening up the treetops reduces shade cast which means more sunlight reaches grass below shrubs, making them stronger and healthier too!
Pollarding
Tree pollarding is an ancient practice of trimming branches to prevent them from interfering with the flow of cables or pedestrians. Historically, it was done on an individual basis, but in recent times it has become a service offered by tree surgeons and arborists who specialise in tree care. Although there are various methods used for
pollarding, some forms are not as environmentally friendly as others. It is important that people who want this service choose experienced professionals so their trees can be protected without being mistreated.
Hedge Cutting Service, Maintenance, Trimming and Pruning
What are the differences between hedge trimming, maintenance and removal?
Hedge trimming is essentially the cutting of hedges. By doing it regularly you can maintain the shape and size of the hedge, control growth and even change its shape if required. Hedge removal will give your landscaping a whole new look and create an open space.
Is it possible to cut too much off my hedges?
Yes, if you cut more than 1/3 of total height of a mature tree (or shrub) in one go, this may cause dieback depending on how well established the hedge is. It may take a couple of years for the tree to recover and regrow, in some cases it might lead to death.
How often should I cut my hedges?
This depends on what type of plants you have, but normally once or twice a year should be enough in order to maintain your hedge at the desired size and shape depending on seasonality of vegetation (summer vs winter foliage). If you remove more than 1/3 part at a time this might weaken or kill off parts of the plant so it's best not to do this too often.

When it comes to dangerous tree removal and the safe dismantling, our professional tree surgeons and arborists will identify the tree’s condition and determine the best course of action. This may include removing the tree completely or partially, depending on its condition and location. If the tree poses a risk to people or property, it must be safely removed.

Frequently asked questions from our customers
Do I need special permission to have work carried out on my trees?
It depends on what kind of work you are planning to have carried out. If it is for pruning, cutting or felling trees that are subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), then you will need to
apply for permission from your local council. If it is tree work that does not need permission, then you may carry it out without needing special permission. You should always check if there are any restrictions in place locally, or if the work you are planning could cause damage to protected trees or other non-protected trees in your area. It is important that you only carry out this type of work with the proper expertise and experience. It is also important to be aware of potential risks, such as damage to yourself or others, or damage to the tree itself. If you need further advice on any of these matters, it is best to consult a qualified tree surgeon.
How much does a tree surgeon cost on average?
The average cost of a tree surgeon in the UK depends on several factors, such as the size and type of tree, the complexity of the job, and the location of the tree. For example, a small conifer may cost £50-£150 to trim, while a large oak might cost £500-£1,000 to remove. The complexity of the job can also impact the price. If a tree needs to be felled, the fee may rise to £2,000-£3,000. Location is also a factor in tree surgery costs. All initial consultations and quotes are free.
Will trees damage my property?
Trees are a beneficial part of any home landscape, but they can cause problems if not properly maintained. Overgrown or poorly placed trees can damage buildings, driveways, and other structures. Trees can also interfere with utility lines, creating fire hazards and damaging property.
In order to avoid these risks, it is important to practice proper tree maintenance. If a tree becomes overgrown or potentially hazardous, it should be pruned or even removed. When planting a new tree, make sure to choose a species that is appropriate for the space and climate, and place it far enough away from buildings and structures to prevent damage. It is also a good idea to have an arborist inspect your'e trees regularly for signs of distress or structural instability.
When is the best time of year to have some work done to my trees and hedges on my property?
The best time of year to have any work done to your trees and hedges on your property is during the late autumn or early winter. This is because the trees are in a dormant state, meaning there’s less sap and therefore less stress on them when they’re pruned, thinned, and shaped. This also reduces the risk of disease or insect damage to the tree. If you plan on planting trees, it’s best to wait until the winter season has ended, as most nurseries will prune the trees back when they are dormant in order to transport them easier. Likewise, for any hedge pruning it’s best left to late autumn or early winter as this will result in a much fuller, healthier hedge. Doing any trimming during the summer months can actually lead to more significant dieback in the plants, as they won’t have time to recover. In short, the best time of year for tree and hedge work on your property is late autumn or early winter for pruning and late winter or early spring for planting and transplanting. This will give your trees and hedges the best opportunity to thrive in their environment.
Will mature trees need special care and attention?
Yes, mature trees need special care and attention. Trees that are mature are more prone to damage from storms and other environmental factors and can be more vulnerable to disease and pest infestations. To ensure the tree is healthy, it should be regularly monitored for any signs of distress or damage, and pruned or treated if necessary. Additionally, mature trees often need more water than younger trees due to their larger size, so extra irrigation may also be necessary. Proper fertilisation and mulching can also help the soil under a mature tree stay healthy, and these activities should be done regularly to ensure the tree stays healthy and strong. Taking good care of mature trees is important for their continued health, and can help them stay vibrant in your landscape or garden for many years. .
Why do I need to call a tree surgeon?
Tree surgeons are certified professionals who specialise in the care and maintenance of trees. They have special training and experience to safely and correctly trim, prune, and care for trees. Tree surgeons can also help diagnose and treat tree diseases, maintaining the health of your trees. Calling a tree surgeon may be beneficial if you are looking to improve the aesthetics of your landscape, or if you want to make sure your trees remain healthy and thrive in their environment. Tree surgeons are also an invaluable asset in emergency situations where hazardous trees need to be cut down or removed. They can safely and effectively take down a tree that is in danger of collapsing or blocking a road, power line, or other important structure. No matter the situation, calling a tree surgeon can ensure that the task is done properly and safely.
