Nottingham Tree Surgery — NPTC-Qualified Arborists, City & Suburbs
If you need tree work in Nottingham, you want someone who knows the city properly. That means understanding which trees in The Park Estate and Wollaton are protected, knowing how ash dieback is affecting gardens across Sherwood, and being familiar with the four separate councils that oversee tree permissions across the city and its suburbs: Nottingham City, Rushcliffe, Gedling, and Broxtowe.
TB Tree Care covers all of it, from Arnold and Beeston to Carlton, Hucknall, Gedling, and West Bridgford. NPTC-certified, BS3998-compliant, and fully insured on every job.
- Rated ★★★★★ by Happy Customers
- Fully insured & certified
- Friendly and professional team
Most Nottingham quote requests get a same-day response. If your tree has storm damage or poses an immediate risk, call 07949 268926 directly. Severe weather across Sherwood, Mapperley, and the higher ground around West Bridgford can cause problems quickly, and we can usually be on site within hours.
Why Nottingham homeowners and businesses trust TB Tree Care
Getting tree work wrong in Nottingham can be expensive. Work on a protected tree without the right consent can mean fines of up to £20,000, and some companies quote without checking TPO status first. We check every tree before quoting, handle any council paperwork on your behalf, and give you a written quote that covers everything upfront.
Our NPTC-certified climbers carry out every job to BS3998 standards, with full waste removal included. No subcontractors. The same team that quotes your job completes it.

Tree Removal & Felling in Nottingham
Whether a tree on your Nottingham property has become unsafe, died back, or is simply causing problems, we can remove it safely and cleanly. We use directional felling where there is space, and sectional dismantling in tighter city gardens where buildings, fences, or power lines are nearby.
Common removals across Nottingham include ash dieback-affected trees, self-seeded sycamores, large conifers close to houses, and old fruit trees past their useful life. We check for TPO and conservation area status before every quote, so there are no surprises once work begins.
What’s included with our Tree Removal service?
Every removal starts with a site survey and risk assessment — checking for TPOs, overhead lines, underground services, drop zones, and structural condition. Felling or sectional dismantling is chosen based on the site, not the easier option.
Trusted in Nottingham for a reason
Fully insured to £5 million, NPTC-certified, and BS3998 compliant. Written quotes with no hidden costs, full waste removal included, and the site left clean. References available from previous Nottingham jobs on request.
Tree Trimming & Pruning in Nottingham
If your trees have outgrown their space or are starting to cause problems, crown reduction and deadwood removal are usually the right starting point. In Nottingham this commonly means working on mature lime and oak trees in The Park Estate and Wollaton, Victorian garden trees in Mapperley and Sherwood, and ash trees being managed through early dieback rather than felled outright.
We also carry out crown lifts to clear access over driveways and footpaths, and formative pruning on younger trees to build a strong structure early. All pruning follows BS3998 standards, carried out by NPTC-certified climbers.
How we care for your trees
We evaluate your tree’s health before carrying out work. Services may include crown thinning, light access improvement, and scheduled maintenance.
Why locals book us
Branches over driveways, roof lines, conservatories, and neighbours' fences are common problems we resolve. Pruning to BS3998 standards keeps the tree healthy and prevents the structural problems that lead to expensive emergency work later.
Stump Grinding in Nottingham
A stump left after removal can cause more problems than most people expect. Ash stumps regrow aggressively from the root collar if not ground out, and decaying stumps attract honey fungus that can spread to nearby trees. We grind stumps well below surface level, removing both the regrowth risk and the fungal threat in one visit.
Common jobs across Nottingham include large conifer stumps close to buildings in West Bridgford and Beeston, old fruit tree stumps in city gardens, and sycamore stumps on Victorian plots where space for replanting is tight. Compact machines available for narrow gate access.
How we remove stumps effectively
We assess the stump, check for buried services, and choose the right grinder for the access. Most stumps are reduced to 200-300mm below ground level — deep enough for replanting or turfing. Chippings are levelled in or removed depending on what suits the site.
Benefits of stump removal
Old stumps regrow, attract honey fungus (a serious risk for nearby trees and shrubs), and make landscaping impossible. Grinding eliminates the regrowth, removes the disease vector, and gives you a clean, level surface to work with.
Emergency Tree Work in Nottingham
After a storm, a split or partially uprooted tree needs making safe quickly before it causes damage to your property or a neighbour’s. Gardens on the higher ground around Mapperley and the more exposed parts of West Bridgford are particularly vulnerable after severe weather, as are trees along the Sherwood corridor.
We respond to emergency call-outs across Nottingham usually within hours. We make the tree safe first by removing any suspended load, then complete the full removal or stabilisation. For urgent work, call 07949 268926 rather than using the contact form.
What’s included in an emergency call-out?
Priority response for storm damage, fallen trees, and trees that have suddenly become a hazard. We assess the tree, make it safe (often by reducing weight from the canopy first), then complete the removal or stabilisation work in a controlled way.
When every second counts — choose TB Tree Care
Most emergency call-outs across Nottingham are responded to within hours. Out-of-hours work available for genuine emergencies. We also liaise with insurance companies and provide written reports if a claim is involved.
Hedge Trimming in Nottingham
If your hedges need a seasonal tidy or have grown well beyond where you want them, we carry out regular maintenance cuts and major reductions across Nottingham. We work with all the common species: leylandii, beech, hornbeam, privet, laurel, hawthorn, and mixed native hedgerows.
The Victorian and Edwardian streets around Mapperley, Sherwood, and Forest Fields have a high proportion of established front garden hedges that need annual attention. Larger properties in The Park Estate and Wollaton tend to have more formal boundary hedging along walls and driveways that benefits from twice-yearly shaping. Nesting bird checks are included as required between March and August.
What’s included in our hedge cutting service?
Pre-trim inspection for nesting birds (a legal requirement March-August), height and width assessment, careful cutting to a defined finish, and full clearance afterwards. Annual or twice-yearly cuts available on contract.
The go-to choice for hedges in Nottingham
We cut leylandii, beech, hornbeam, privet, laurel, hawthorn, and mixed native species across Nottingham. Major reductions on overgrown hedges a speciality — restoring a hedge to a manageable size without killing it.
TPO & Conservation Area Work in Nottingham
A significant number of trees across Nottingham are protected — particularly in The Park Estate, Wollaton, Mapperley Park, and Sneinton Dale — and working without consent risks fines up to £20,000. We check TPO status before quoting and handle all paperwork: Section 211 notices for conservation area trees (six-week period) or formal TPO applications via Nottingham City Council, Rushcliffe, Gedling, or Broxtowe Borough Council. We have experience with all four authorities.
Approved work under tree protection laws
TPO status check on every job before we quote — via the relevant council planning portal. If consent is needed we submit the application paperwork (Section 211 notice for conservation areas, formal TPO application elsewhere) and wait for the determination period to expire before starting work.

All clearance in Nottingham is carried out with TPO and conservation area checks completed first. This is particularly important for sites in Wollaton, The Park Estate, and parts of West Bridgford where tree protection coverage is significant and unauthorised clearance can carry serious penalties.

Tree Surgeon Nottingham — FAQs
Tree felling and removal, pruning and crown work, stump grinding, hedge trimming, emergency storm damage response, and TPO applications. We cover Nottingham city plus Arnold, Beeston, Carlton, Hucknall, Gedling, West Bridgford, Clifton, Cotgrave and the surrounding suburbs.
Yes. Every climber is NPTC-certified in chainsaw operation, aerial rescue, and rope access. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and full employer’s liability cover. All work is carried out to BS3998 standards. Insurance certificates and qualification proof available on request.
Often, yes. Trees in conservation areas (The Park Estate, Wollaton, Mapperley Park, Sneinton Dale, parts of West Bridgford and others) require six weeks’ notice to the council before work. Trees with TPOs require formal consent. We check this for every job and submit applications on your behalf where needed. Working without consent can result in fines up to £20,000.
Yes — emergency response is a core service. Storm-damaged trees, fallen limbs, and trees that have become hazardous are responded to within hours where possible. Out-of-hours emergency response available. Call 07949 268926 directly for fastest response — please don’t use the form for emergencies.
It depends on the tree size, condition, access, and what’s involved. A standard hedge cut on a small garden is very different from sectional dismantling of a large oak near a property. We give every customer a clear written quote — no hidden costs, no charge for the quote visit, and you only pay once the work is finished to your satisfaction.
Full waste removal is included as standard. Smaller material is chipped on site, larger timber is cut to manageable lengths and removed. If you’d like to keep logs for firewood, just say so in advance and we’ll stack them for you. Chippings can also be left for mulch if useful.
Yes — annual maintenance contracts are popular with larger gardens, schools, hotels, and commercial sites in Nottingham. Includes scheduled hedge cuts, tree inspections, deadwood removal, and priority emergency response. Fixed annual pricing, no surprises.
All common species across Nottingham gardens — leylandii, beech, hornbeam, privet, laurel, hawthorn, yew, and mixed native hedgerows. Major reductions on overgrown hedges a speciality. We can also handle awkward access (over walls, behind sheds, etc.) using climbing techniques where needed.
Strongly recommended in most cases. Stumps regrow, attract honey fungus (which spreads to other trees and shrubs), and make replanting or laying a lawn impossible. Grinding to 200-300mm below ground gives you a clean, level surface ready for whatever comes next.
