Tree Services in Nottingham & Derby

• Tree safety inspections and surveys, including a drone tree survey for crowns or sites that are difficult or unsafe to inspect from the ground
• Support with Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and Conservation Area applications, including liaising with the council on your behalf
• Commercial site clearance for developers, landlords and site managers
• 24/7 emergency callout for storm damage, split limbs and hazardous leaning trees, seven days a week

• Stump grinding is usually quoted as a separate item from felling, since some customers want the stump ground out and others are happy to leave it
• Clearing brash and timber from site is standard, but if you want logs kept for firewood rather than taken away, mention it when you book as it can change how the job is priced
• Any tree with a Tree Preservation Order or inside a Conservation Area needs council consent before work starts -- we can apply on your behalf, but the council's decision isn't instant and can add time to the timeline
• Major landscaping or replanting design beyond straightforward tree planting isn't something we quote as standard -- ask when you call and we'll advise whether it's something we can help with
• There's no fixed price list for felling or crown work -- species, size, access and whether a Tree Preservation Order applies all change the job enough that we quote after a site visit rather than over the phone or by email

1. Call or send an enquiry -- Tell us what's going on -- the tree, the problem, and whether it feels urgent. If it's storm damage or a dangerous lean, say so and we'll treat it as an emergency.
2. Free site visit and assessment -- We come out in person to look at species, size, condition and access -- what's nearby such as fences, sheds, power lines or a neighbour's garden -- and check whether a Tree Preservation Order or Conservation Area applies.
3. Written, no-obligation quote -- You get a clear price for the work, what's included, and what's quoted separately, such as stump grinding or extra waste removal.
4. Council consent, if needed -- If the tree is protected, we submit the TPO or Conservation Area application and wait for the council's decision before any cutting starts.
5. The work itself -- Climbers and ground crew arrive with the right kit for the job -- chainsaws, ropes and rigging, a chipper or stump grinder as needed -- and protect the site before cutting begins.
6. Clean-up and sign-off -- Brash and timber are cleared, the site is left tidy, and we talk you through the finished work before we leave.

There's no single price for tree work because so much depends on the individual tree and site. A straightforward hedge trim costs a lot less than felling a mature tree in a tight back garden with no vehicle access, or a 20% crown reduction on a mature specimen like the 25m copper beech we worked on for a customer in The Park Estate. Species matters too -- a fast-growing conifer behaves differently under the saw to an old oak or beech -- and whether the tree is protected by a TPO adds a consent step before any work can begin. Access is often the biggest factor: a tree that can be felled onto open ground is quicker to deal with than one that has to be taken down piece by piece over a fence or roof using ropes and rigging. We quote every job after seeing it in person, since a phone description is never enough to give an accurate figure -- a free site visit comes before any price is confirmed.

The same City & Guilds NPTC qualified crew who climb and fell also carry out the site surveys and TPO applications listed on this page -- this isn't outsourced to a separate surveying firm. The business is run by George Beck, an NPTC qualified arborist with over 20 years' experience caring for trees across Nottingham, Derby and the surrounding areas, and customers are invited to ask for George directly rather than being passed through a call centre. The team holds City & Guilds NPTC Certificates of Competence covering everything from chainsaw maintenance and cross-cutting through to aerial rigging, assisted felling of large trees over 760mm, and emergency treework planning -- qualifications that cover straightforward garden jobs and the more demanding ones alike. That range shows in the work on file: Karl Hall in Alfreton had overgrown trees cut back and hedges trimmed, and described the crew as fast and efficient, leaving the garden tidier than they found it, while David King in The Park Estate had a mature 25m copper beech, never previously pruned, reduced by 20% in height and width. Full public liability and employers' liability insurance is in place, with documentation available on request.

We're based at 20 Prince St in Long Eaton, on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border, which puts us within easy reach of Nottingham, Derby and the towns in between. Regular jobs take us into West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston, Bramcote, Ruddington, Edwalton, Radcliffe on Trent, Bingham, Lowdham, Burton Joyce, Ravenshead, Hucknall, Carlton, Arnold, Gedling, Mapperley and Stapleford, as well as Ilkeston, Heanor, Ripley and Alfreton on the Derbyshire side, and further out to Mansfield, Newark-on-Trent, Southwell and Worksop. Different ground needs a different approach: mature gardens in areas like The Park Estate in Nottingham often have Tree Preservation Orders attached to their older trees, while village settings such as Radcliffe on Trent or Burton Joyce can mean working close to boundary walls or down narrow lanes where access has to be planned before the day of the job. Our Nottingham page has more on the areas we cover closest to home.

Whether it's a hedge that's got away from you, a tree that needs taking down, a survey before you buy or sell a property, or a protected tree you need council consent to touch, get in touch for a free site visit and a written quote before any work begins. If it's storm damage or a hazardous lean, the line is open 24/7, seven days a week.
