Tree Removal
In some unfortunate cases, a tree may be in an inconvenient place for the customer. It could be that the tree has died and come to the end of its lifespan, or become sick or diseased. If this happens then most likely the tree will need to be removed, especially if it's situated near houses, buildings or even roads, as this will be very hazardous if the weak tree falls naturally, or is blown over by strong wind and adverse weather. We can help by taking down this obstacle and making sure it's done safely! Our skilled team will start at the top of the suspect tree and slowly dismantle branch by branch with ropes and rigging equipment, and even the help of cranes on some occasions, all depending on the size of the tree in question and what the access is like. The cost of the

You can be rest-assured that all our pricing is transparent, no hidden extras, we are trusted tree surgeons, and nice people to do business with.

Tree felling service in Alfreton should only be carried out by professionals and experienced tree surgeons. We do not recommend or advise any homeowner to attempt this as this is a highly skilled job and dangerous in untrained hands. Not only do you risk your own health and safety but you could be cutting down a tree that has a tree preservation order attached to it, which can incur a hefty fine if you are found out by the authorities. Trees need felling and removed for various reasons, it could be they are posing a danger, as too close to houses, buildings or commercial premises, or just got too large for the area and need taking away quickly and safely. We are specialist tree surgeons so have all the necessary equipment, professional tree climbers and trained ground staff to avoid any disruption or hazards below.

Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning
Crown Raising / Crown Lifting
It's important for homeowners and business owners alike to have their trees regularly trimmed up high there are many reasons for this but perhaps none as important as safety reasons. If your trees are not trimmed and pruned on a regular basis it can cause them to become weak, unstable and more of a hazard than they already are. If you have large branches which hang low or touch your roof, gutters or even cars and large trucks parked nearby. The weight of these heavy limbs could result in some major damage if they were to break off suddenly. Although this is rare it does happen all too often and when that happens it's usually catastrophic as we have experienced through strong winds, and many homes losing their entire roofs due to trees falling on top of them.
Crown Thinning / Crown Reduction
Tree crown reduction will change how light reaches lower branches and ultimately reduce canopy volume causing less stress and improving its vitality by allowing air into all parts of your trees foliage. This is an excellent service for reducing storm damage to trees, aesthetically pleasing tree crowns, and allowing more access for surrounding plant life to the sun.
Pollarding
Typically
tree pollarding describes a more methodical process that involves the removal of only the outermost layer of branches on a more mature tree. This process helps to encourage new growth, especially along the lower section of the trunk where most species of trees tend to be bare. It can also help keep branches from rubbing together and becoming damaged or split apart by strong winds. A pollarding service is often more affordable than other methods and has less impact on a tree's life cycle.
Hedge Cutting, Maintenance, Trimming and Pruning
The
hedge trimming service provides regular assessments of a customer's hedges to ensure that they are always in optimum condition. Customers will receive a free, detailed written report of the health and height of their hedges, with advice on how often they should be trimmed. This is a risk-free assessment service for customers because there is no obligation to purchase our services. Hedge cutting services provide a more intensive level of maintenance, whereby we cut back overgrown or poorly maintained plants more frequently than standard hedge trimming would permit. This type of treatment is generally reserved for difficult cases where the customer's hedges have grown significantly taller over time, in response to neglect or poor pruning techniques earlier in their life.
Dangerous Tree Removals and Sectional Dismantling
Tree removal is a job that should only be handled by trained professionals. When trees are removed incorrectly, it can lead to serious property damage and even injury or death. Sectional dismantling is an advanced technique used to safely remove larger trees without causing unnecessary harm to the surrounding area. This method involves cutting down each section of the tree in order, starting from the top and working down. This allows for a higher degree of precision and accuracy when removing the tree, making it much safer.

Frequently asked questions
Can trees cause damage to my property?
Yes, trees can damage your property, especially if they are not properly cared for. Trees that are too close to buildings and other structures can weaken the foundation and cause structural damage, while trees that are too large or overgrown can block sunlight from getting to your property, decrease air circulation, and attract pests. Additionally, tree roots can damage nearby walkways or other outdoor surfaces if not managed properly.
To avoid these potential damages to your property, it is important to keep trees properly maintained by pruning and trimming them regularly, removing dead or diseased branches, and keeping the tree roots away from your property.
Do mature trees need special care?
Mature trees require special care and attention in order to remain healthy and maintain their structural integrity. It is important to inspect mature trees regularly for signs of decay, disease, or insect infestations. It is also important to provide adequate fertiliser and water to mature trees on a regular basis in order to maintain their health and vitality. Pruning should be done as needed in order to remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches, as well as to shape the tree and promote new growth. In addition, it is important to protect mature trees from storms, winds, ice, and snow by providing support and installing protective devices, such as lightning rods or branch ties.
When is the best time of year to have work done to my trees and hedges?
The best time to have work done on your trees and hedges depends on the specific tree species. Generally, early Spring is the best time of year for pruning, thinning, and other types of maintenance. This is when the trees are still dormant and less prone to diseases or pests. It is important to remember that pruning should only be done when the tree or shrub is in its active growth phase, as this will result in a better response. Additionally, the tree’s sap flow is minimal in the Spring, which reduces the amount of stress experienced by the tree when it is pruned. Summer and Autumn are also good times to have work done, as the trees are actively growing and can easily recover from minor injuries.
How much would a tree surgeon cost?
The cost of tree surgery can vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the job. Generally, smaller jobs such as trimming branches and removing dead wood may cost between £200 and £500, while larger jobs such as removing a large tree or performing cabling work can cost much more and in the hundreds or even thousands of pounds. The cost may also depend on the type of tree being worked on, and whether specialised equipment is needed. Furthermore, some tree surgeons may charge an hourly rate, rather than a flat fee. It is therefore important to get several quotes from different tree surgeons and compare the prices before making a decision. You should also be sure to check that the tree surgeon is fully qualified and insured to carry out the work you require. Overall, it is important to consider the cost of a tree surgeon carefully before committing to any work. By doing your research and getting multiple quotes, you can ensure you are getting the best value for money.
Do I require permission to have work carried out on my trees?
In the UK, there are specific rules and regulations that must be followed when having work carried out on trees. Depending on your location in the UK, you may need to obtain permission from your local council before having any tree related works carried out. Generally, if a tree is located within a conservation area or protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you will need to submit an application for work and gain approval from the local authority before any work can be carried out. For other trees, it may be necessary to notify the local authority that work is being carried out, or a permit may be required. The exact requirements will depend on your local council authority, so it is important to check with them before any work is undertaken. If you do not comply with the relevant regulations, then you may face a hefty fine or even imprisonment. So it is important to understand the local regulations beforehand.
Why do I need to employ a tree surgeon?
When it comes to maintaining the health and safety of trees, employing a qualified tree surgeon is essential. Tree surgeons are trained in the science and art of arboriculture - the management and maintenance of trees - so they can properly diagnose any problems with a tree's health and make sure they get treated effectively.
Tree surgeons have a range of skills and knowledge to perform various tasks, ranging from pruning and trimming branches to removing dead or diseased wood. They can also offer treatments to help keep trees healthy, such as applying fertiliser or pest control. Additionally, tree surgeons are usually experts in the safe use of power tools and are experienced in cutting down trees and working at heights. This ensures that any work they do is carried out safely and to the highest standard.
