About Us
- NPTC certified across aerial work, chainsaw operation, and rigging/dismantling
- £5,000,000 public liability insurance
- One in-house team, canopy to roots — nothing subcontracted out
Welcome to our story. We're a local team of fully qualified arborists and tree care specialists serving homes and businesses across Nottingham, Derby, and the surrounding areas.
Plenty of people still know us as the local go-to for a stump nobody else wants to deal with. That's fair — it's where we started, and we're still one of the busiest stump grinders in the area. But we've grown into a full-service tree surgery company. Today we manage the whole lifecycle of your trees, from high-canopy pruning right down to complete felling, site clearance, and final stump grinding.
What We Cover
- Tree Services — crown reductions, thinning, lifting, sectional dismantling
- Forestry Services — site clearances, woodland management, commercial felling
- Property Maintenance for Factors & Landlords — ongoing maintenance, storm response, boundary clearance
- Stump grinding and removal — where we started, still one of the busiest in the area
How the Business Is Run
- First call -- George or the team talk through what you need before anything is booked.
- Site visit -- For anything beyond a straightforward stump, someone comes to look before quoting.
- The work itself -- NPTC-certified climbers and grinders carry out the job, in-house, start to finish.
- Final check -- George checks the finished job himself before the team leaves.
The In-House Advantage
Most tree surgeons subcontract their stump grinding, or just leave you with a stump. We don't — we handle the entire job ourselves, from the top of the canopy to deep underground, so you only ever deal with one team you already trust. Every climber and ground-crew member holds NPTC certification across three distinct disciplines — aerial tree work, chainsaw operation, and rigging/controlled dismantling — not one generic qualification, and we carry £5,000,000 public liability insurance.
"I love talking trees and stump removals. We built this business on trust and personal service. No matter the size of the job — whether it's pruning a small garden fruit tree, helping a property factor maintain an entire housing estate, or clearing a commercial site of thirty mature oaks — we bring the same level of care, respect, and enthusiasm to your property." — George, Founder
Where We Work
Based at 20 Prince St, Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10 4LH, working across Nottingham, Derby, and the wider Nottinghamshire area. See our areas we cover page for the full list.
About the Business
Do you only do stump grinding?
That's how we started, and we're still one of the busiest stump grinders in the area, but no — we're a full tree surgery company now, covering crown reduction, felling, forestry clearance, and estate maintenance too.
Are you insured?
Yes — we carry £5,000,000 in public liability insurance, covering your home, garden, and any neighbouring property.
Is George involved in every job?
Yes. George stays hands-on from the first phone call through to checking the finished job on site.
What certifications does your team hold?
NPTC certification across three distinct disciplines: aerial tree work, chainsaw operation, and rigging/controlled dismantling.
Do you subcontract any of the work?
No. Unlike most tree surgeons, who subcontract stump grinding out (or skip it entirely), we handle the whole job ourselves, canopy to roots.
What's the story behind the name?
We started as stump grinding specialists — solving the problem of stumps left behind after other tree surgeons finished a job. As clients started asking us to handle the tree work too, we expanded into a full-service company, but kept the name that built our reputation.
