Tree Removal In Nottingham
Would you like help to cut down a tree?
We can take care of it for you.
With over 20 years of experience with tree felling in Nottingham, we can assist you with any job, big or small.
Many clients contact us because they don’t have the time to do it themselves. Many people also don’t have the expertise or the necessary equipment to do it safely. And some people are simply not keen on doing it themselves.
Whatever the reason, we have the skills, knowledge, and equipment to do the job correctly and safely, and we enjoy our work.
Not every tree needs to come out. Where the issue is size rather than health, a crown reduction in Nottingham may solve it while keeping the tree. Where a mature tree just needs more light through the canopy, ask about crown thinning in Nottingham instead.
Not only that, but we do it:
Safely
Professionally
Quickly
And at the best price

How Can We Assist You With Tree Removal In Nottingham?
As a first step, we need to understand the nature of the job. One way to understand this is to come for a free inspection. This allows us to examine the tree and its surroundings, helping us fully understand the assignment.
Get in touch with us, and we will arrange a convenient day and time for the inspection!
Alternatively, you can send us images or a video, along with a brief description of the job. From this, we may be able to fully understand the requirements.
Once we have a clear understanding of the task, we will provide you with a written quote.
This quote will outline the cost of the job, a job description, a timeline, and any other details you require in writing.
We are also flexible and can carry out the work to your specific needs:
For example, we can fell the tree, leave it on the ground, and let you manage the rest. Alternatively, we can cut the tree and branches into 30 cm lengths (for instance), so you can take care of the remaining work yourself. We can also completely remove it, leaving just the stump.
If you would like, we can grind the tree into wood chips.
And if you’d like us to remove the stump, we can take care of that as well.
Please let us know your preference, and we will do exactly as you wish. 👍
Before we leave, we will tidy up and ensure your property is left in good condition.
Our goal is to complete the work as safely, professionally, quickly, and cost-effectively as possible. We want you to be more than satisfied, and we want you to contact us again the next time you need help. 👍
How Do We Normally Fell A Tree In Nottingham?
Usually, we use one of two methods: Straight felling or sectional felling. The method we choose will depend on the specific situation. Let’s look at both methods.
Straight Felling
The most common method is straight felling. This involves cutting the tree at the base of the trunk and allowing it to fall to the ground in a controlled manner.
How do we do it?
To control how and when the tree should fall, we first need to create what is known as a hinge.
To form the hinge, we begin by making a face notch (also called a directional notch) in the direction we want it to fall. The angle of the face notch should be approximately 60–70 degrees, and it should be made to around 25% of the trunk’s thickness.
Next, we make a back cut. This is a horizontal cut made from the opposite side of the trunk, aimed towards the face notch we just created. It is crucial to leave approximately 2–4 cm uncut, ensuring we don’t cut all the way through to the face notch. This uncut section forms the important hinge.
In other words, the trunk is now cut almost entirely through, except for this 2–4 cm section.
As the tree rests on the hinge, minimal force is needed to make it fall. With the help of wedges, ropes, slings, and manual effort, we can guide it to fall in the direction of the face notch in a controlled way.
The face notch ensures the tree doesn’t fall sideways or backwards. It has only one option: to fall in the direction of the face notch.
While straight felling is the simplest and most common method, it’s not always possible to use this technique for larger trees in Nottingham. This is often due to limited space, with the danger of causing damage to nearby buildings or infrastructure.
When there isn’t enough space to use the straight felling method, we opt for sectional felling instead.
Sectional Felling
Sectional felling is a more labour-intensive method, but it enables us to safely take down a tree regardless of the circumstances.
We can carry out sectional felling in two ways: By using a lift or by climbing up (with appropriate safety equipment). The choice of method will depend on the specific situation, such as the tree’s size, the surroundings, and potential hazards.
We begin by removing all the branches. Once all the branches are removed, we cut off the top section, typically between 1 and 2 metres in length.
This section is then either lowered safely to the ground using ropes or allowed to fall in a controlled manner.
Once the top section is safely on the ground, we proceed by cutting off the next section, and so on, until the entire tree is on the ground in sections.
This felling method allows us to remove any tree, regardless of the space available.
How Much Does It Cost To Remove A Tree In Nottingham?
Our price depends on these four factors:
The size of the tree.
Whether we have easy access with crew and equipment.
The method we use: Straight felling or sectional felling.
What happens after the tree is on the ground: Do we leave it, cut it into pieces, or remove it?
Based on these factors, here are our prices:
| Tree Size | Price In £ |
| Up to 5 metres | 75 – 200 |
| 5 – 10 metres | 100 – 300 |
| 10 – 15 metres | 200 – 400 |
| 15 – 20 metres | 300 – 600 |
| 20 – 25 metres | 400 – 800 |
| Over 25 metres | 500 – 1,000 |
| Prices updated as of October 2026 | |
That being said, every job is unique, and there may be specific factors related to your job that could affect the price. Therefore, the prices above are intended as a guide.

We Can Also Remove The Tree Stump
Once the tree has been removed, the stump will remain.
Now, the question is:
Would you like the stump to be removed, or would you prefer to keep it?
If you would like it removed, we can take care of that for you as well.
We typically use a machine called a stump grinder to remove the stump. This machine can grind away any stump, regardless of its size, tree type, or condition.
Normally, we grind the stump to about 30 cm below ground level. After that, we typically fill the hole with wood chips from the stump and add a top layer of soil (or the natural top layer, depending on the area). This provides a smooth, natural finish.
For instance, if the stump were located in a lawn, we would add a layer of soil, and within a few weeks, new grass would begin to grow where the stump once stood.
However, if you prefer a different filling material, simply let us know, and we will accommodate your request.
Before we leave, we will tidy up and ensure everything looks neat.
Safety Is Our First Priority At All Times
Felling often involves certain risks, which is why safety is our top priority. Before we begin the job, we assess the tree and its surroundings to identify any potential hazards. Once this evaluation is complete, we will determine what we deem to be the safest and most secure approach.
This approach ensures that we carry out the job correctly and safely, minimising risks as much as possible.
All of our workers are covered by liability insurance and personal injury insurance, and they use the appropriate safety equipment while on the job.
