Our Core Tree Surgery Services
We handle all aspects of tree work, big and small. Every job starts with a proper assessment, so we can give you honest advice on the best course of action for you and your trees. Our main services include:
- Tree Felling & Removal: The safe and controlled dismantling of trees, whether they are dead, dangerous, diseased, or simply in the wrong place. We can handle trees in tight, awkward spots close to buildings or property.
- Crown Reductions, Thinning & Lifting: This isn’t just a haircut for your tree. It’s essential maintenance to let more light into your garden, reduce the weight on heavy branches, improve the tree’s structure, and keep it clear of buildings or phone lines.
- Stump Grinding: Don’t let an old tree stump ruin your lawn or get in the way of your next garden project. Our powerful stump grinding equipment removes the stump and its main roots from below ground level, leaving you with a clear space.
- Hedge Trimming & Maintenance: From a quick tidy-up of a privet hedge to taming a giant conifer boundary, we provide a sharp, clean finish that will keep your hedges healthy and neat.
- Emergency Tree Work: High winds and storms can cause serious damage. If a tree has fallen or you’re worried about dangerous branches, give us a call. We offer a rapid response service to make the situation safe.
- Site Clearance: Preparing for a new development, extension, or landscaping project? We can efficiently clear trees, shrubs, and undergrowth to get your site ready for the next stage.

Why Choose North Cheshire Forestry? It’s All About Trust and a Proper Job
When you hire a tree surgeon, you need to know you’re getting someone who is safe, knowledgeable, and reliable. We’ve built our business on these principles since day one.
A Legacy of Experience – Established in 1976
We’ve been at this a long time. Since 1976, we’ve seen pretty much every tree-related problem you can imagine. This experience means we can quickly and accurately assess a job, foresee potential issues, and get the work done efficiently and safely. You’re not hiring a newcomer; you’re hiring decades of practical, real-world knowledge.
Your Peace of Mind – Fully Insured
Tree work is a skilled trade that carries inherent risks. That’s why we don’t cut any corners. North Cheshire Forestry is covered by comprehensive Public Liability Insurance. This protects you, your property, and our team. We’re happy to show you our insurance documents at any time – a professional company always will be.
The Right Skills for the Job – NPTC Trained Staff
You wouldn’t let an unqualified electrician rewire your house, and you shouldn’t let an unqualified person work on your trees with a chainsaw. Every member of our team is NPTC qualified. This is the industry-standard certification that proves we know how to operate dangerous equipment safely and carry out complex tree surgery techniques correctly.
Working to the Highest Standard – BS3998 Compliant
We don’t just make it up as we go along. All our work adheres to the British Standard BS3998:2010 ‘Tree Work – Recommendations’. This is essentially the official rulebook for quality tree care in the UK. It ensures that any pruning we do is beneficial for the tree’s long-term health and that all our operations meet a recognised professional benchmark.
Independently Vetted – Trustmark Status
Don’t just take our word for it. We hold Trustmark status, which is a Government Endorsed Quality Scheme. To get this, our business has been thoroughly vetted for our technical competence, customer service, and good trading practices. It’s an independent stamp of approval that shows we’re a company you can rely on.
Recognised by Our Peers – Trade Body Members
We are proud to be active members of respected trade bodies, including the Forestry Contracting Association (FCA). This keeps us up-to-date with the latest safety guidelines, industry best practices, and new techniques, ensuring we are always providing the best possible service.
Working With Nature, Not Against It – Our Environmental Promise
We work with nature every day, and we believe it’s our duty to protect it. That’s why we have a strict environmental policy.
Nothing Goes to Waste
We recycle 100% of the timber and branches we remove from a job. Nothing is sent to landfill.
- Woodchip: All smaller branches are processed through our woodchipper on-site. This is then delivered free of charge to local allotments, farms, and community gardens, where it’s used to improve soil and suppress weeds.
- Firewood: Larger sections of timber are taken back to our yard, where they are processed and seasoned into top-quality logs for firewood, providing a sustainable source of fuel for local homes.
Protecting Local Wildlife
We take our responsibility to local wildlife very seriously. Before any work begins, especially during the nesting season (typically March to August), we carry out a thorough check for nesting birds. If an active nest is found, we will postpone work on that tree until the young birds have fledged. It’s the law, and it’s the right thing to do.
