Send us a few photos and your postcode and we’ll provide a clear quote for your specific job.
Can you work on trees with a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) in Apperknowle?
It depends on whether your tree is protected. If your property is in a Conservation area or the tree has a Tree Preservation Order ( TPO ), you must get council approval before any work starts. Don’t worry, though- we handle the entire application process for you! We deal with North East Derbyshire District Council daily. We’ll check the status of your trees and submit all the paperwork at no extra cost to you.
Are you fully insured?
Absolutely. We hold full £10m Public Liability insurance for all arboricultural works. Additionally, our team is NPTC qualified, meaning you are fully protected from the moment we arrive on-site.
Do you remove the waste and leave the site tidy?
Yes. We work neatly and aim for a clean finish. Waste removal can be included as part of the job, and we’ll confirm what’s included before we start so there are no surprises.
Do you offer stump grinding in Apperknowle?
Yes — we offer stump grinding as a standalone service or alongside tree removal. It’s a great option if you want the stump gone to tidy the area and make way for turf, planting, or landscaping.
Can you help with storm-damaged or dangerous trees?
Yes. If a tree is damaged, leaning, or unsafe after high winds, get in touch. We can assess the situation and recommend the safest next step, including urgent works where needed.
Do I need permission to cut down a tree?
Sometimes, yes. Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or are within a conservation area. If you’re unsure, we can advise what to check with your local council before any work goes ahead.
What’s the difference between pruning and crown reduction?
Pruning usually means removing selected branches to improve shape, clearance, or health. Crown reduction reduces the overall size of the canopy in a controlled way while keeping the tree balanced and looking natural. We’ll recommend the best option based on your tree and your goals.
