Practical Tree Care Solutions for Your Home and Business
Trees are a fantastic asset to any property, but they need proper management to stay healthy, safe, and beautiful. Our team has the skills, experience, and equipment to handle any job, big or small. We’re not about making a quick buck; we’re about providing the right solution for your trees and your budget.
Our core tree surgery services include:
- Tree Felling & Removal: The safe and controlled dismantling of trees that are dead, diseased, dangerous, or simply in the wrong place. We use modern rigging techniques to ensure no damage to your property.
- Crown Reductions, Thinning & Lifting: These are the key to maintaining a healthy, well-shaped tree. We can reduce the overall size of the canopy, thin it out to let more light through, or ‘lift’ the lower branches to create more space underneath.
- Stump Grinding & Removal: Don’t let an old tree stump become a trip hazard or an eyesore. Our powerful stump grinding machinery will remove it completely, allowing you to reclaim the space for lawn, paving, or planting.
- Hedge Trimming & Maintenance: From a neat trim for your garden hedges to reducing the height of large conifer screens, we’ll leave your hedges looking sharp, tidy, and healthy.
- Site Clearance: Preparing a site for a new building project, landscaping, or just reclaiming an overgrown part of your land? We can efficiently clear trees, shrubs, and vegetation.
- Emergency Tree Work: Storms and high winds can cause serious damage. If you have a fallen tree or a dangerously hanging branch, call us. We offer a rapid response service to make the situation safe.
- Tree Planting: Looking to add new trees to your property? We can advise on the right species for your soil and location and ensure they get the best possible start in life.

Why Choose North Cheshire Forestry? It’s About Trust and Experience.
When you hire a tree surgeon, you’re inviting them onto your property and trusting them with valuable assets and your safety. We’ve spent decades earning that trust, and we don’t take it for granted. Here’s what sets us apart.
Established in 1976: Experience You Can Rely On
We’ve been in this business since 1976. That’s nearly half a century of working with the specific types of trees, weather conditions, and challenges found right here in the North West. That kind of experience can’t be learned from a textbook. It means we can quickly diagnose problems, recommend effective solutions, and carry out the work with an efficiency that only comes from years on the tools.
Fully Qualified & Insured for Your Peace of Mind
Your property is in safe hands. All our staff are NPTC trained and certified, which is the industry standard for competence in operating chainsaws and other equipment. More importantly, we are fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover. This isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s our guarantee to you that in the unlikely event of an accident, you are completely protected.
Working to the Highest Standards (BS3998)
We don’t just cut trees; we care for them. All our work is carried out in accordance with British Standard 3998:2010 ‘Tree Work – Recommendations’. This is the official guide for best practice in arboriculture. It ensures that every cut we make is designed to promote the long-term health and safety of your trees, rather than causing future problems.
A Name You Can Trust: Trustmark & Trade Bodies
We are proud to hold Trustmark status, a government-endorsed quality scheme. This means our business has been independently vetted for our technical competence, customer service, and good trading practices. We are also members of leading trade bodies, including the Forestry Contracting Association (FCA), which keeps us at the forefront of industry safety and standards.
Our Environmental Commitment: Nothing Goes to Waste
We live and work in this beautiful part of the country, and we believe in looking after it. That’s why we have a strict environmental policy. 100% of the timber and branches we remove are recycled.
- Woodchip: All smaller branches are processed through our woodchipper and delivered to local farms and allotments, where it’s used to improve soil and suppress weeds.
- Firewood: Larger logs are processed into high-quality firewood for local homes, providing a sustainable source of fuel.
- We operate a true ‘zero-to-landfill’ service.
Respect for Wildlife
We are acutely aware of our responsibility to local wildlife. Before starting any job during the nesting season (typically March to August), we conduct thorough checks for nesting birds. We will never knowingly disturb an active nest and will advise rescheduling the work if necessary, in line with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981.
