Tree Surgeon in Mansfield — Sherwood Forest Edge Specialists, Fully Insured
Ash dieback is working through Mansfield’s tree stock at a significant pace — garden trees, street trees, and ancient ash on the Sherwood Forest fringe near Edwinstowe and Clipstone. Former colliery land around Forest Town, Shirebrook, and Rainworth has dense self-seeded growth that can reach problematic sizes quickly.
Mansfield District Council’s TPO register protects a significant number of trees across the district. Work on a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence carrying an unlimited fine. TB Tree Care covers the full Mansfield area: NPTC-certified, BS3998-compliant, fully insured on every job.

Why Mansfield property owners choose TB Tree Care
Getting tree work wrong in Mansfield costs more than the tree. A TPO breach carries an unlimited fine — the same as a missed Section 211 notice in a conservation area. Ash dieback-affected trees deteriorate faster than most species and require different felling approaches as structural integrity declines.
Former colliery ground around Forest Town and Clipstone can produce unstable root systems. Veteran oaks on the Sherwood Forest fringe near Edwinstowe need specialist assessment before any pruning decision. Every job is assessed in person before we quote and carried out by NPTC-certified climbers to BS3998 standards.
Locally trusted experts
Covering Mansfield and the surrounding Sherwood Forest area — Mansfield Woodhouse, Warsop, Edwinstowe, Pleasley, Shirebrook, Forest Town, Rainworth, Clipstone, Langwith, and Blidworth. We understand the local tree stock, council TPO requirements, and the specific challenges of the area.
Excellent feedback from real customers
We’re recommended through many 5-star reviews on Facebook, showing our commitment to customer care. From emergency call-outs to full removals, customers value our clean, tidy work.
Safe and qualified tree surgeons
Every operative — not just the lead climber — holds NPTC tickets for chainsaw use, aerial rescue, rope access and rigging. £5 million public liability, full employer's liability, BS3998 on every job. Certificates available before work begins anywhere in the Mansfield district.

Tree Removal & Felling in Mansfield
Tree removal is the most common call-out across Mansfield: ash dieback, storm damage, or trees causing problems with buildings, driveways, or neighbouring properties. We carry out directional felling where space allows and sectional dismantling in the tight gardens and terraced plots common throughout Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse.
Ash dieback removals make up a significant proportion of our Mansfield work. As infection advances, ash trees lose structural integrity rapidly and become harder to fell safely — early intervention is strongly recommended. We also remove self-seeded growth from former colliery land around Forest Town, Clipstone, and Rainworth.
How do you perform Tree Removals?
Every removal starts with a full site survey — TPO status check, overhead line and underground service identification, structural condition assessment, and drop zone planning. Directional felling or sectional dismantling chosen based on site conditions, not convenience. Full waste removal included.
Why choose TB Tree Care in Mansfield?
Fully insured to £5 million, NPTC-certified, BS3998-compliant. Clear written quotes, no hidden costs, site left clean. Experienced with ash dieback removals, large sycamore and horse chestnut on tight residential plots, and tree clearance for housing developers across the district.
Professional Tree Pruning in Mansfield
In Mansfield, crown pruning commonly means reducing mature sycamore and horse chestnut on the larger Victorian plots around Mansfield Woodhouse and Warsop, managing rowan and birch growth on newer estates around Forest Town and Rainworth, and deadwood removal from oaks on the Sherwood Forest fringe near Edwinstowe and Clipstone. Crown reductions, thinning, lifting, and deadwood removal all carried out to BS3998 by NPTC-certified climbers.
What’s included in our pruning service?
We inspect each tree’s condition before carrying out work. Services may include crown lifting, balancing weight distribution, and seasonal pruning.
Why pruning matters in Mansfield?
Overgrown trees cause problems with neighbours, driveways, rooflines, and planning applications. Pruning to BS3998 keeps the tree healthy while resolving these issues — and prevents the structural deterioration that leads to expensive emergency removals later.
Stump Grinding in Mansfield
Ash dieback removals are generating large numbers of stumps across Mansfield — ash and sycamore stumps on tight residential plots around Mansfield Woodhouse and Warsop regrow strongly if not ground out properly. We grind all stumps to below soil level, leaving the surface ready for replanting, turfing, or building. On former colliery land around Forest Town and Clipstone, stump grinding is often part of a larger clearance job.
How we remove stumps effectively
Stump assessment, underground service check, and machine selection before work starts. Most stumps reduced to 200–300mm below ground — sufficient for turfing, planting, or hard surfacing. Chippings levelled into the void or removed. Available across Mansfield and all surrounding villages.
Benefits of stump removal
Ash and sycamore stumps — the two most common removals in Mansfield — regrow aggressively and attract honey fungus if left untreated. Grinding eliminates regrowth, removes the fungal vector, and gives you a flat, usable surface. Strongly recommended after every tree removal.
Emergency Tree Work in Mansfield
Storm damage across the Mansfield area, particularly on higher ground above Pleasley and around the exposed former colliery sites near Shirebrook and Langwith, can bring down large trees or leave heavy limbs hung up over properties. The River Maun corridor through Mansfield town also sees storm-related tree failures after significant rainfall events.
We respond to emergency tree work across Mansfield and the surrounding district within hours of the call. We assess the situation, make the tree safe by removing suspended load from the canopy first, then complete the full removal. Call 07949 268926 directly for emergency work. Please do not use the contact form.
What to expect from our emergency team
Priority response for storm-damaged trees, fallen limbs, and suddenly hazardous situations across Mansfield. We make the tree safe first — reducing suspended load using climbing and rigging — then complete the full removal or stabilisation work systematically.
When every second counts — choose TB Tree Care
Most Mansfield emergency call-outs responded to within hours. Out-of-hours emergency response available for genuine hazards. Written incident reports provided for insurance claims where property damage is involved.
Hedge Trimming in Mansfield
Hedge work across Mansfield divides between town and fringe. In the town and Mansfield Woodhouse, most jobs are routine cuts on leylandii, privet, hornbeam, and hawthorn boundary hedges. On plots closer to the Sherwood Forest fringe around Edwinstowe, Clipstone, and Blidworth, we also work on mixed native hedges with field maple, blackthorn, dog rose, and hazel.
We carry out major reductions on hedges grown well beyond their original size and renovation pruning on neglected older hedges. Pre-work nesting bird checks are carried out as required between March and August. All trimmings cleared on completion.
What’s included in our hedge cutting service?
Pre-trim nesting bird check (legally required March–August), agreed height and width assessment, cutting to a clean defined finish, and full clearance of all trimmings. Available as a one-off or on an annual or twice-yearly contract across Mansfield and surrounding villages.
Why choose TB Tree Care for hedge work in Mansfield?
We are based in Shirebrook, so Mansfield is our closest working area and we are usually on site quickly for hedge visits. Most of the work here is leylandii, privet and beech across Mansfield Woodhouse, Forest Town and Rainworth, on either a one-off cut or a twice-yearly arrangement with the dates fixed in advance.
TPO & Conservation Area Work in Mansfield
Mansfield District Council maintains an active TPO register across the district, particularly in older residential areas of Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse, and in villages like Warsop and Edwinstowe. Sherwood Forest and the Edwinstowe and Clipstone areas carry additional heritage and nature conservation designations.
We check TPO status before quoting on every job. Where consent is required we submit the application on your behalf and wait for determination before starting. For conservation area trees, a Section 211 notice with a six-week notice period is required. Unauthorised work risks an unlimited fine.
How we handle protected trees
TPO status checked via Mansfield District Council's planning portal before every quote. Where consent or notification is required, we handle the paperwork and wait for the determination period before starting. No work carried out on protected trees without proper consent.
How we help you stay compliant
Mansfield District Council holds the TPO register and conservation area designations for Mansfield, Mansfield Woodhouse and the surrounding parishes. We confirm the position before quoting, prepare the notice or application, and submit it for you — including the woodland TPOs that are common on the Sherwood fringe.

We work with commercial clients across Mansfield and the wider district: retail parks and industrial estates around Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby, housing developers active across Mansfield, Warsop, and Shirebrook, schools across the district, and property management companies.

From removals to risk reports
Scheduled maintenance, tree health inspections, BS5837 tree surveys for planning applications, and emergency response on contract. Suitable for housing developers, retail and industrial sites, schools, care homes, and property management companies across the Mansfield district.
Trusted contractors across Mansfield
Schools, care homes, housing associations and industrial sites across Mansfield district work with us on contract, along with the larger rural holdings towards Edwinstowe and Clipstone. Documented inspections, BS5837 surveys for planning, priority emergency cover, and 30-day terms.
Grounds Maintenance Contracts Across Mansfield District
Larger residential properties, schools, care homes, and commercial sites across Mansfield benefit from a standing annual contract rather than reactive call-outs. We agree the full scope at the start of each year: typically twice-yearly hedge cutting, an autumn tree survey, deadwood assessments, and on-call emergency cover throughout. Fixed pricing agreed upfront, and a written log of all work maintained for each visit. Particularly useful for care homes and schools in the district that need documentation for compliance inspections.
Hassle-free year-round service
Two hedge visits, a documented annual tree inspection, deadwood work as it arises, and priority response between visits. One fixed price for the year, one invoice, and a written log that satisfies insurers and planning officers alike.
Peace of mind with every season
One consistent team, priority emergency response between scheduled visits, and a single annual invoice. Works well for schools, care homes, commercial landlords, and housing associations across the Mansfield district.
Clearing Overgrown Plots Across Mansfield
Land clearance is a regular part of our Mansfield district workload. Former colliery sites around Forest Town, Clipstone, Shirebrook, and Rainworth carry years of self-seeded birch, ash, and willow that needs clearing ahead of development or landscaping. We clear trees and scrub, hedges, undergrowth, and root masses from residential plots through to larger industrial and brownfield sites. Method statements produced on request, waste transfer notes supplied on all clearance contracts.
Full clearance, done right
Tree and hedge removal, stump grinding, brash chipping, and ground preparation ahead of building work. Method statements and liaison with project managers. All waste removed and processed responsibly.
Get your site ready, fast
Mansfield is our home patch — we are based in Shirebrook, minutes away — so we take everything from a single garden fell to contracted grounds work for schools and housing stock across the district, usually at short notice.
TB Tree Care — your Mansfield tree surgeons
Tree Surgeon Mansfield — FAQs
What tree services do you cover in Mansfield?
Tree felling and removal, pruning and crown work (reduction, thinning, lifting, deadwood removal), stump grinding, hedge trimming, emergency storm damage response, and TPO applications. We cover Mansfield, Mansfield Woodhouse, Warsop, Edwinstowe, Pleasley, Shirebrook, Forest Town, Rainworth, Clipstone, Langwith, and Blidworth.
Are you NPTC-qualified and insured?
Yes — NPTC-certified climbers, £5 million public liability, full employer's liability, and BS3998 standards throughout. Certificates go out with the quote on request. If you are getting comparison quotes in Mansfield, ask each contractor for the same paperwork.
Do I need permission from Mansfield District Council for tree work?
Often yes. Trees with individual Tree Preservation Orders require formal consent from Mansfield District Council before any work. Trees in conservation areas require a Section 211 notification with a six-week notice period. Trees in or adjacent to Sherwood Forest may have additional heritage or nature conservation designations that affect what work is permitted. We check all of this before quoting and handle the paperwork on your behalf where consent is needed. Unauthorised work on a protected tree is a criminal offence carrying an unlimited fine.
Do you deal with ash dieback in Mansfield?
Yes — ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a serious problem across the Mansfield district and throughout Sherwood Forest. Infected ash trees progressively lose structural integrity and become hazardous. We assess ash trees for dieback progression, advise on whether intervention or full removal is appropriate, and carry out safe removal where the tree is beyond recovery. Advanced-stage ash dieback makes trees unpredictable to fell — early assessment and action is strongly recommended.
How quickly do you respond to emergencies in Mansfield?
Most emergency call-outs across Mansfield and the surrounding area are responded to within hours. Call 07949 268926 directly for the fastest response — do not use the contact form for emergency work. Out-of-hours response is available for genuine hazards. We can also liaise with insurance companies and provide written incident reports where property damage is involved.
How much does tree surgery cost in Mansfield?
Cost depends on the tree’s size, species, condition, access, and what the job involves. A seasonal hedge cut on a small Rainworth garden is very different from ash dieback removal from a mature tree near a property in Mansfield Woodhouse. We provide every customer with a clear written quote — free of charge, no hidden costs, and you only pay once the work is complete to your satisfaction.
What happens to the timber and waste?
Full waste removal is included as standard on all jobs. Smaller material is chipped on site; larger timber is cut to manageable lengths and removed. If you’d like to keep logs for firewood, let us know before we start and we’ll stack them for you. Chippings can be left as garden mulch if useful.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for Mansfield properties?
Yes. Annual maintenance contracts work well for larger residential gardens, schools, care homes, and commercial sites across the Mansfield district. Typically covers scheduled hedge cuts, seasonal tree inspections, deadwood removal, and priority emergency response — at fixed annual pricing with no surprises.
Which hedges do you cut in Mansfield?
All common species — leylandii, beech, hornbeam, privet, laurel, hawthorn, and mixed native hedgerows. We also carry out major reductions on hedges that have been left several years and grown significantly beyond their intended size. Pre-trim nesting bird checks carried out as required by law between March and August.
