Every job is different, so we don’t use one-size-fits-all pricing. The cost depends on the tree size, access, what work is needed (pruning, reduction, removal, stump grinding), and whether waste needs removing. Send us a few photos and your postcode and we’ll provide a clear quote for your specific job.
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 Chesterfield Borough Council, North East Derbyshire, and Bolsover District Council daily. We’ll check the status of your trees and submit all the paperwork at no extra cost to you.
Yes, we’re experienced in working with TPO-protected trees. We always follow the correct procedures and handle all necessary permissions with the local council before carrying out any work. If you’re unsure whether your tree has a TPO, we can check and guide you through the process to ensure everything is fully compliant.
Yes — Kraken Arb is fully insured for tree surgery work. If you need confirmation for peace of mind (or for landlords/commercial sites), just ask and we’ll provide the details.
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.
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.
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.
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.
