Tree Surgeon Nottingham: Tree Surgery, Stump Grinding & Forestry Services
- NPTC-certified for aerial tree work, chainsaw operation and rigging/dismantling
- £5,000,000 public liability insurance on every job
- Founder George is hands-on from your first call to the final site check
If you need a tree surgeon in Nottingham, you're usually facing one of two problems: a tree that needs work, or a stump left behind after somebody else's job. We started out solving the second one. Stump removal was the gap most other tree surgeons in the area left behind, either skipping it or handing it off to a subcontractor, and clients who saw that work started asking us to handle the tree itself too. That's how a stump-grinding outfit grew into a full tree surgery service covering everything from crown reduction and sectional dismantling to forestry work and grounds maintenance for factors and landlords.
Much of what we're called out for around Nottingham is shaped by what's already growing and what's protected. Ash dieback is a regular reason for callouts across gardens and street trees in areas like Sherwood, Wollaton and West Bridgford, and a good number of the mature trees we work on sit inside conservation areas or under a Tree Preservation Order, meaning felling or heavy pruning needs the council's written consent before we touch a saw - we check TPO and conservation area status for you as part of the quote, so you're not the one left with a retrospective planning problem. Whatever's brought you here, a leaning tree after a storm, a stump left over from a felling job somebody else did, or an estate that needs regular tree and land upkeep, one team handles it from canopy to underground, including stump grinding and root inspections where they're needed, so you're not booking separate contractors for the tree and whatever's left in the ground afterwards.

Tree Surgery & Canopy Care
From crown reductions and formative pruning to full sectional dismantling of hazardous or diseased trees, our climbers are NPTC-certified for aerial tree work, chainsaw operation, and rigging — domestic and commercial.
Forestry & Site Clearance
Large-scale site clearances, woodland management, and commercial felling using specialist low-impact equipment — handling heavy-duty land clearing for developers, local authorities, and private landowners.


Property Maintenance for Factors & Landlords
Ongoing tree maintenance, emergency storm response, and estate boundary clearance for property factors, estate managers, and commercial landlords — keeping grounds safe, tidy, and compliant with local TPO regulations.
Where It All Started: Stump Grinding
We started with a simple mission other tree surgeons wouldn't take on — removing the stump properly after a tree came down. It's still where we're busiest today, and the reason we now handle everything else in-house too.

Enhances the Aesthetic Appeal of Your Property
Removing unsightly stumps can greatly enhance the visual appeal of your landscape. Tree stumps, especially those that are decayed or overgrown with weeds, can detract from the overall beauty of your outdoor space. By eliminating these eyesores, you create a cleaner, more polished look that enhances the curb appeal of your property. Moreover, a well-maintained landscape with no visible stumps can make your garden look more spacious and inviting. Whether you are looking to create a seamless lawn for family activities or a beautifully landscaped garden, professional stump removal and grinding offer an effective solution to achieving an attractive and cohesive outdoor environment.
Prevents Potential Tripping Hazards
Tree stumps left in your yard can pose significant tripping hazards, creating an unsafe environment, particularly for children, elderly individuals, and pets. These hazards are not only a concern during the day but can become even more dangerous at night when visibility is limited. By removing or grinding down stumps, you eliminate these obstacles, making your outdoor space safer for everyone. Additionally, reducing such risks can protect you from potential liabilities associated with accidental trips and falls on your property. Ensuring that your landscape is free of tripping hazards promotes a safer, more accessible outdoor area for all to enjoy.
Reduces the Risk of Pest Infestations
Tree stumps can become a breeding ground for various pests, including termites, ants, and beetles. These pests are often attracted to the decaying wood and can quickly establish colonies within the stump. Over time, these infestations can spread to healthy trees, shrubs, and even nearby structures, causing significant damage that can be costly to repair. By professionally removing or grinding down stumps, you eliminate the habitat in which these pests thrive, thereby reducing the risk of infestations on your property. This proactive measure not only helps protect the integrity of your landscape but also contributes to the long-term health and safety of your home and garden.
Promotes Healthy Growth of Surrounding Plants and Trees
Removing tree stumps is beneficial for the health and growth of the surrounding plants and trees. Stumps and their root systems can compete with other vegetation for essential nutrients and water, potentially stunting the growth of your garden's plants. By grinding down or completely removing these stumps, you free up valuable resources, allowing other trees, shrubs, and flowers to thrive. Furthermore, the decaying roots of old stumps can spread disease to the healthier plants nearby, impacting your overall landscape health. Professional stump removal ensures that these harmful elements are eradicated, fostering a healthier, more vibrant garden ecosystem. This not only promotes the flourishing of your existing plants but also provides an optimal environment for planting new vegetation, ultimately leading to a more vigorous and bountiful landscape.
To eliminate the stump for you, we use a stump grinder. The equipment grinds the stump into sawdust. When you hire us, we deliver quality work, whether the stump is on a commercial or residential property.

Stump Removal Process
Our comprehensive stump removal process is designed to ensure the complete elimination of stumps, resulting in a clear and hazard-free landscape. The process begins with a thorough assessment of the stump, including its size, type of wood, and the extent of its root system. This evaluation helps us determine the most effective approach for removal.
Site Preparation:
Before we start the removal process, the area around the stump is cleared of any debris or obstacles. This preparation ensures a safe working environment and prevents damage to surrounding plants and structures.
Cutting the Stump:
Using our profesional equipment, we cut the stump as close to the ground as possible. This initial cut reduces the bulk of the stump, making it easier to remove.
Digging Around the Stump:
We then dig around the base of the stump to expose the roots. This step is crucial for loosening the stump from the ground and allows us to identify any major roots that need to be severed.
Cutting the Roots:
Large underground roots are cut using heavy-duty tools. By severing these roots, we effectively disconnect the stump from the soil, enabling easier removal.
Stump Extraction:
Once the roots are cut, the stump is carefully extracted from the ground. Depending on the size and depth of the root system, this may involve using heavy machinery for leverage and lifting.
Filling the Hole:
After the stump is removed, we fill the resulting hole with soil or mulch. This step restores the surface level of your yard and prepares the area for future landscaping.
Site Cleanup:
Finally, we clean up the work area, removing any wood chips, roots, and debris. Our goal is to leave your property looking tidy and ready for your next landscaping project.
By following this detailed and systematic process, we ensure that all stumps are thoroughly removed, leaving no remnants that could cause future issues. Our professional approach guarantees efficient and effective stump removal, enhancing the safety, aesthetics, and health of your landscape
Stump Grinding
Our stump grinding service is designed to efficiently and safely remove tree stumps from your property, ensuring a clean and aesthetically pleasing landscape. Using our heavy duty stump grinding equipment, our skilled operators grind stumps down well below ground level, eliminating any tripping hazards and making replanting or landscaping projects straightforward. We take great care to keep any disruption as low as possible so not to spoil your surrounding vegetation, leaving your garden or land pristine and ready for its next phase. Whether dealing with an old tree stump or a recent tree removal, trust our professional service to handle it with utmost precision and care.which can spread to other areas of your yard or even into your home. Removing stumps eliminates these risks and helps maintain a healthy and safe environment for you and your family.

Our stump grinding service not only improves the appearance of your property, but it also has several practical benefits. By removing tree stumps, you are preventing future growth and potential hazards. Leftover stumps can continue to sprout and grow new shoots, leading to unwanted trees in your yard. These small trees can compete with other plants for nutrients and water, hindering their growth and potentially causing damage to your property. Additionally, tree stumps can attract pests like termites and ants, which can spread to other areas of your yard or even into your home. Removing stumps eliminates these risks and helps maintain a healthy and safe environment for you and your family.

Stump Grinding Procedure
Stump grinding is a crucial step in the stump removal process, involving the mechanical grinding of the tree stump down to below ground level. This method is highly effective in eliminating visible tree remnants and preventing future issues such as pest infestations or regrowth. Here's a detailed explanation of our stump-grinding procedure:
Preparation:
Before grinding begins, we clear the area around the stump by removing any rocks, debris, and obstructions. This ensures safe and efficient operation and prevents damage to the equipment.
Initial Cutting:
If the stump is particularly tall, our team may use a chainsaw to cut the stump down to a manageable height. This step allows the grinder to work more effectively on the remaining portion of the stump.
Positioning the Grinder:
Once the area is prepared, we position the stump grinder directly above the stump. The grinder is then calibrated to the appropriate settings based on the size and hardness of the stump.
Grinding Process:
The grinding process begins with lowering the rotating cutting wheel onto the stump. The machine's high-speed rotating disk grinds the wood into small chips, starting from the top and gradually moving downwards. This process is repeated until the stump is ground down to several inches below ground level.
Handling Underground Roots:
In addition to grinding the stump itself, we also address some of the larger, surface-level roots, extending out from the stump. This ensures that these roots will not cause issues or interfere with future landscaping.
Chip Removal:
After the grinding is completed, we collect the wood chips and debris generated by the process. These can be either removed from your property or repurposed as mulch, depending on your preference.
Site Clean-Up:
Finally, we ensure the site is thoroughly cleaned and left in a tidy condition. This includes filling in the resultant hole with soil or mulch, leaving the ground level and ready for new planting or other landscaping projects.
By following this comprehensive stump grinding procedure, we effectively remove unwanted stumps, ensuring that your landscape is free from tree remnants and ready for your future plans.
How To Measure And Assess Your Tree Stump For A Quote
Unfortunately every stump removal job is different due to some aspects such as the actual size of the stump and our access to the particular stump or stumps that need removing. Without this simple information it’s not possible to give a price to say how much it will cost to remove your stump on the website

If you can have the following information to hand it can speed up the process and help us give you a more accurate quotation.
If you would rather we visit your premises to assess everything for you, well that's fine too
Size of the stump you would like removed and ground down?
How large and wide is the stump?
Start by measuring the diameter of the stump
The widest point across the top of the cut
Also measure the flare of the stump, this is where the base of the stump touches the ground.
Most larger trees will significantly have a large flare that is much greater than the diameter of the cut at the top.
Photographs?
Take a couple of photos of the top of the stump with something like a can of coke to assess the size
Also take a photo from about 3 0r 4 metres away, this will be most helpful
Stump Quantity
How many stumps would you like removed?
If there is a sufficient quantity then the price will be discounted
Tree Species
This is an important aspect as certain tree species such as the Maple as an example can have a very large underground sub-surface root flaring. This means that the whole area around the stump that is raised above ground level will need ground down.
Also species identification will help us to assess if a tree is a softwood or indeed a hardwood variety. Softwoods are easier to grind than hard hardwoods so this has to be taken into consideration. The larger your tree stump is, the more significant tree species identification will be.
Access:
We have numerous stump grinding machines at our disposal
The largest needs a gap of around 70cm to pass through
Our smallest stump grinding machine needs approx 65cm
If you can let us know if there any large steps to take into account on your land, that would be much appreciated
Location
Last question that we always ask is where are the stumps located?
Are they at the front or rear of your property?
Are the stumps situated near and hard surfaces such as concrete, brickwork or any buildings
If you would rather we visit your residential or commercial premises to work out a costing, then please by all means give us a call.
We are professional, helpful, friendly and approachable

Eco Stump Treatment
When a stump is located in a space that is too congested for a stump grinder to access, we offer eco stump treatmentservice. You would also require this service if you are looking to preserve the stump and use it as an accessory. At other times, the stump might have grown over underground utilities like cables. It would be costly to repair them, and you want to remove the stump without damaging them.
How does it work? We drill holes into the live wood of the stump and hammer capsules inside them. The poison in the capsules will get released, and it will dissolve with the stump’s sap before killing the live parts. The roots of the stump will die from the bottom to the top. Because there will not be any new growth, the stump will rot away.
Why is eco stump treatment ideal? Soil and water will not get contaminated because the poison is released inside the stump. It can be applied in any weather or time of the year, and it has an efficiency level of between 95 and 100 per cent. Also, it is effective on a wide variety of trees and uses minimal herbicides.
What about guidelines? We prefer the application to be on fresh wood. If your stump is old, we can make a clean cut and insert the capsules. We normally distribute the capsules around the stump evenly and apply them near the capillary system of the stump. When inserting capsules, we do it at intervals of between 2.5 and 3 inches. After measuring the diameter of the stump in inches, we divide it by 1.5 to get the number of capsules to insert in the stump.
The process is not easy, but our experienced professionals will do it effortlessly for you. Reach out to us now for an estimate.



Air Spade & Tree Root Excavations
Our air spade excavationsenable the digging of soil around roots and underground services without causing any damage. This is the perfect alternative to the traditional method of digging with spades. Our air spade uses compressed air to break up and remove the soil without ruining utility lines, cables, and roots. The compressed air is converted into a high-speed air stream to precisely cut through the soil faster than traditional digging. Hence, our service is nothing less than efficient.
We use this solution to expose the roots so that you can determine any problem that ails your tree. For instance, a condition like a collar rot kills many trees and is hard to see since it is below the soil. It is caused by fungal pathogens and is propelled by soil compaction and poor quality of the soil.
Another problem we can help expose is girdling roots. In this case, the roots circle the base of the tree below the soil’s surface. The condition affects the health of the tree because food, water, and nutrients cannot flow between the roots and leaves. To make the situation worse, girdling roots can cause the tree to lean. Such trees die prematurely.
So, when you reach out to us, we will come and help clear soil and mulch to expose girdling roots. We will also inspect any conditions that are affecting your tree for treatment. Moreover, we will be able to diagnose any disease and extent of decay impacting the roots. Aeration and replacement of the soil to solve the issue of soil compaction will also be on our to-do list. Even more, we will dig a construction or utility project while causing minimal disturbance to the roots. And if you want to apply solutions that enable the growth and survival of your roots, we will help with that too. Do you need us? We’ve got your back!



Tree Re-Location Services
Our services extend to tree relocation. If your tree has outgrown its location, is too close to your house, or is interrupting utilities, we can help you relocate it. Trees are good for the environment, and you will be saving the world by preserving them.
Don’t dig out the tree with traditional tools; you will destroy the roots, and the tree might die. To successfully relocate it, you need the assistance of experienced professionals.
During tree relocation, we use an air spade to dig out the tree while preventing damage to the roots and underground services. We also check the size and species of your tree to determine if the new home is suitable. If the new home is not, we will advise you to change the home to a more suitable one or avoid the relocation. You don’t want the tree to die after a tedious relocation process.
We urge our clients to provide the aftercare options we recommend to the tree after a relocation. If your tree is old, it will need more aftercare than if you had a young tree. So, keep this in mind. While watering the tree is important during the aftercare, it is also crucial before moving the plant. It allows you to hydrate it properly in case some roots are lost during the process.
You need not worry because we ensure that your tree relocation succeeds. That is why we advise you to relocate when the tree is dormant. In this case, the tree has no leaves and fruits, which means it needs less water. But because our air spade solution ensures minimal damage to roots, we can also relocate the tree when it is active with fruits and leaves.
Let’s relocate your tree together. Give us a call!

Tree Root Inspections
Our tree root inspection serviceis nothing less than convenient. Whether you want to check the root system for diagnosis or interaction with underground utilities, we can help. So, you will be able to determine the damage caused to the underground services by the root system of your tree. Also, you will be able to see any damage or diseases ailing your roots. Additionally, you can prune some of the roots that cut into the tree. And finally, you can assess the location of the roots for purposes of insurance and planning permission.
If the leaves of your tree are discoloured, it could be a sign of damage to absorbing roots. These roots are meant for water and nutrient absorption from the soil. But if the tree is leaning and topples when there is a wind, the problem is in the anchoring roots, which are meant for support. Sometimes, you can notice fungus growing on the base of the tree, which can signify a problem in the roots. Other times, the roots might be lifting the sidewalks or pavements. All these cases call for an inspection of your tree’s roots.
Compacted soil, poor planting, and construction work can cause stress to the root system of your tree. This is because roots are far-reaching and delicate. They can be affected by construction taking place a few meters away from the tree. That is why you need us.
Once we inspect your tree’s roots, we gather the information that enables you to undertake corrective actions. If injuries and rot in roots are diagnosed early, the tree can be saved. Also, when the roots are extending to a place where construction is about to take place, they can be pruned, and future damage avoided.

Over time the tree stump died and they removed it queit easly. Really nice guys and excellent customer service"

Best Garden Sites
What's Included in a Tree Surgery Job Here
- Tree felling, including sectional dismantling where a tree is too large, awkward or close to a building to fell whole
- Crown reduction, crown thinning, crown lifting and formative pruning
- Deadwooding and removal of storm-damaged, diseased or dangerous limbs, including emergency callouts
- Stump grinding down to below ground level, or full stump and root extraction where grinding isn't suitable
- Eco stump treatment for stumps too close to buildings, cables or hardstanding for a grinder to safely reach
- Air spade root excavation to expose roots around foundations, drains or services without damaging them
- Tree root inspections for diagnosis, insurance or planning purposes
- Tree relocation for established trees that need moving rather than felling
- Forestry and woodland management, and ongoing grounds and tree maintenance contracts for property factors, landlords and estates
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Repairing drains, cables, patios or driveways already damaged by roots - we can expose and diagnose the problem, but the repair itself is a different trade
- Replanting, turfing or landscaping once a stump or tree has been cleared - we backfill the hole with soil or mulch, but a new planting or garden project is a separate job
- Work in spaces our machines can't physically reach without a site visit first - our grinders need a gap of roughly 65-70cm to get through, so very tight access is priced once we've seen it
- Eco stump treatment and air spade excavation are specialist add-ons quoted as their own job rather than bundled automatically into a standard felling or grinding price

How a Job Runs, From First Call to Clear Site
- Phone consultation -- You describe the tree or stump - size, species if known, roughly where it sits on the property and what's around it. For straightforward jobs we can often give an indication over the phone; for anything with tricky access or scale, we arrange a site visit.
- Site assessment and written quote -- We check the tree or stump in person, look at access, nearby structures, hard surfaces and underground services, and confirm exactly what the job involves before giving you a firm, transparent price - no guesswork pricing off a phone description alone.
- The tree work itself -- NPTC-certified climbers rig and dismantle sectionally where space is tight, or fell conventionally where there's clearance, lowering branches under control to protect fences, sheds, planting and anything else nearby.
- Stump grinding or removal -- Once the tree is down, the stump is ground below ground level or dug out and the roots cut back, then the hole is backfilled with soil or mulch so the ground is level again.
- Site clean-up -- Timber, brash and wood chips are cleared away or left on-site as mulch, whichever you'd prefer - we agree this with you in advance rather than assuming.
- Final check -- George checks the finished site against what was quoted before the team leaves, so you're not left chasing anyone about a job that wasn't finished properly.
What Tree Surgery and Stump Work Cost
Tree surgery pricing works the same way stump pricing does on this site: there's no fixed price list, because tree size, species, access and how much rigging or dismantling is involved all change the cost, and a hardwood dismantled in sections over a garden fence takes a lot longer than a straightforward softwood felled into open ground. What we can tell you is that a proper quote needs either good photos and measurements or, more often, a site visit, and that because stump grinding, tree work and root inspections are all handled in-house rather than farmed out, booking a tree removed and its stump ground as one job is usually more cost-effective than paying two separate contractors to do it in two separate visits. Ask for a free quote and we'll tell you honestly if what you're describing is a quick job or one that needs us to come and look first.
Full Tree Surgery Team vs. a Stump-Only or Tree-Only Contractor
| What matters | Us | Typical single-service contractor |
|---|---|---|
| Stump after felling | Ground or removed by the same team, same job | Often left behind, or subcontracted out to someone else |
| Certification | NPTC-certified for aerial work, chainsaw use and rigging/dismantling | Varies, not always disclosed |
| Insurance | £5,000,000 public liability cover | Varies, not always disclosed |
| Who oversees the job | Founder George involved from the first call to the final check | Whichever crew is free that day |
| Range of work | Tree surgery, stump grinding, forestry and estate maintenance under one roof | Usually specialises in one and refers the rest elsewhere |
One Team Across Three Divisions, Not Three Different Contractors
We're structured as three divisions under one roof, Tree Services, Forestry Services, and Property Maintenance for Factors & Landlords, and stump grinding is where the business started rather than a fourth division bolted on later. That structure is what stops your job becoming three separate phone calls: the same crew that fells and rigs a tree down over a fence can grind the stump on the same visit, and the same office that quotes a domestic garden job also manages ongoing grounds contracts for property factors and landlords across their estates. George still runs the business hands-on and checks jobs on site rather than signing off from a desk, which matters more on tree work than on most trades, because a lot of what makes a felling or dismantle go safely, how a limb is rigged, where the notch cut goes, whether a stump needs grinding or full root extraction, gets decided in the moment by whoever's actually there. Aerial work, chainsaw operation and rigging or controlled dismantling are each covered by their own NPTC certification within the team, and every job runs under £5,000,000 public liability cover, so a tree coming down near a shared boundary fence, a garage or a neighbour's garden isn't a risk you're carrying on your own.
Where We Cover: Nottingham and the Surrounding Suburbs
We're based just outside the city in Long Eaton, on the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire border, and work across Nottingham and its suburbs from there. Beeston, Chilwell, Bramcote and Stapleford are usually a short run for us given how close they sit to base, and we're just as regularly out in West Bridgford, Wilford, Clifton, Wollaton, Radford, Lenton, Sherwood, Mapperley, Carlton and Arnold. Ground conditions vary more than people expect across that area: the lighter, sandier soil around Sherwood, Mapperley and the old Sherwood Forest fringe lets tree roots spread wide and shallow, which is often why a storm-felled tree there comes up with a large, flat root plate rather than the trunk simply snapping. Closer to the Trent, in West Bridgford, Wilford and Clifton, the ground is heavier clay, which holds moisture and can leave root systems less stable in wet spells, something we factor into how we rig a dismantle near a house or a fence line. If your property sits in a conservation area, The Park Estate is the best-known local example, or you've had a Tree Preservation Order notice from the council, tell us when you book and we'll check what consent is needed before any felling or heavy pruning goes ahead.
