As you can see from our video below, there are many factors in removing trees from gardens. Straight tree felling is often not practicable in the modern day because of limited space or damage to gardens, so often, a sectional tree felling as seen above is employed. We would often use ropes and other rigging devices where obstacles are located near the tree, preventing any accidental damage to the area surrounding the tree.
Once the tree removal is complete, we would carefully remove the branches and logs to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Our wood chippings, for example, are used by local farmers as bedding for cattle and local allotments.
If removal of the tree stump is also required, then we offer professional stump removal services at an additional cost.
North Cheshire Forestry will always strive to do our part for wildlife and the surrounding environment. That is why we will do our work with as little disruption as possible to the area and local wildlife; we also have a strict non-interference policy for nesting birds.

FAQs
Q: Is my tree protected?
Answer: A tree is protected if it has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits inside a Conservation Area. You can check your property instantly using your local council’s online interactive planning map, or we can check the register for you during a site visit.
📍 Direct Links to Check Local TPO Maps:
Difference Between a TPO and Conservation Area
- TPOs (Tree Preservation Orders): Protect specific individual trees, groups, or woodlands. Any pruning, crown reduction, or removal requires a formal 8-week application.
- Conservation Areas: Protects all trees with a trunk diameter over 75mm (measured 1.5m above ground level). Works require a 6-week Notice of Intent (Section 211 Notice).
Q: Do you handle TPO applications?
Answer: Yes, North Cheshire Forestry can manage all local council TPO applications and Conservation Area notifications on behalf of clients prior to commencing tree work.
- Formal TPO Applications: Require a standard 8-week decision window from the local planning authority following submitted work specifications.
- Conservation Area Notices: Require a statutory 6-week Section 211 notice of intent to allow the council to evaluate the proposed tree works.
- Compliant Specifications: All submitted work plans are detailed strictly under BS 3998 standards for tree work to increase approval likelihood.
Q: Is the wood recycled?
Answer: Yes, North Cheshire Forestry operates a 100% recycling policy where zero tree waste ends up in landfills.
- Woodchip Processing: All branch waste and brushwood are chipped on-site and repurposed for local farms or biofuel.
- Timber & Logs: The rest of the wood is logged and seasoned for local firewood supply or timber use.
- Site Cleanliness: Gardens and driveways are completely cleared, swept, and left tidy at jobs end.
Q: Can you remove trees when there is limited space?
Answer: Yes, we specialize in removing trees from tight, restricted spaces, such as enclosed back gardens, terraced properties, and areas overhanging buildings, using sectional dismantling.
- Sectional Dismantling: NPTC-certified arborists climb the tree and lower branches and trunk sections systematically using specialized rigging ropes, lowering blocks, and friction devices.
- Narrow Access: Tools and timber can be carried out manually through side alleyways, ginnels, or narrow side gates without damaging surrounding property.
- Property Safety: We use controlled lowering to help prevent impact damage to lawns, glasshouses, fences, and adjacent structures.
Q: How much does tree removal cost?
Answer: Tree removal cannot be accurately priced over the phone or given a fixed price list because every job involves critical site safety and operational variables.
- Free Site Inspections: We offer free, no-obligation site visits to inspect the tree, then provide a fixed, itemized quote with no hidden extras.
- Key Cost Factors: Our Prices depend on tree height and canopy volume, structural integrity (decay or Ash Dieback risks), proximity to structures (like conservatories or glasshouses), and side-alley or access width.
- Labour & Equipment: Specific machinery, crew sizes, and manual timber haulage distances from the tree base to the chipper directly dictate the job scope.
