Tree Surgeon Manchester: What We Offer

Tree Felling & Removal
We offer a complete, professional Manchester tree removal service. From straightforward tree removals to challenging sectional fells, we provide a fully insured Service using industry best practices and equipment. Our experience and reputation are why we are the tree surgeons Manchester trusts for professional tree removal. Every tree removal is different, and our experience allows us to take a safe and efficient approach, minimising risks and costs to the customer. If your tree needs to be removed because it is unsafe or due to disease, a great option is to replace it with a new one. The previous stump can be ground out to make room, preserving the environmental balance in your garden.

If you have an urgent problem, call us directly on 0161 427 5813 for immediate advice and assistance.
Tree Pruning
Since 1976, we have been providing high-quality, bespoke tree pruning work to all our customers in Manchester and beyond. This makes us one of the most experienced tree surgeons in the area when it comes to tree pruning. So whether you require crown lifting, crown thinning, crown reduction or dead wooding for your trees, we are ready to provide you with the high-quality tree pruning service you need. Our ethos in any form of tree pruning is to keep the tree looking as natural as possible within the bounds of the agreed work, and using correct pruning points helps keep the tree healthy and reduces the chances of issues like dieback.
Hedge Trimming
North Cheshire Forestry undertakes all aspects of professional hedge trimming across Manchester. So whether you need your hedges maintained, their height reduced, or even want to remove the hedge entirely, we have the right hedge trimming service available. This work can be done in conjunction with your tree work or as a standalone bespoke service.
Stump Grinding
As part of our Manchester tree surgeon services, we offer a high-quality stump grinding service for customers throughout the area. If you want tree work done but want to avoid an unsightly stump taking up space, our stump grinding service is the perfect solution. We go beneath the surface of the ground to grind out the entire root bowl, allowing for the replanting of another tree or whatever else you have in mind for your garden. This service is, of course, also available for any pre-existing stumps you may have.
Your Questions Answered
We understand that you may have questions about the process. Here are answers to some of the common queries we receive from our clients in Manchester.
Do I need to be at home while you carry out the work?
Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the trees and have discussed the work specifications with you beforehand, you do not need to be present. We are self-sufficient and will complete the job as agreed, leaving your property secure and tidy upon completion.
Do I need council permission for my tree work?
It depends. Many trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or are located within a designated Conservation Area, which requires a formal application to the council. As part of our service, we can perform these checks for you and, if needed, manage the entire application process on your behalf to ensure all work is fully compliant.
When is the best time of year to prune my trees?
This varies depending on the species of tree. Generally, the dormant season (late autumn to early spring) is ideal for most pruning as it minimizes stress on the tree. However, some species, like those in the Prunus family (e.g., cherry, plum), are best pruned in summer to reduce the risk of disease. We will always advise on the optimal timing for your specific trees during our free consultation.
