Professional tree removal
Sometimes a tree simply has to come down. Whether it's dead or dying, structurally unsafe, diseased, storm-damaged, or just in the wrong place for your garden plans — TD Tree Services carries out tree removal safely and efficiently, leaving your site clean and clear.
Every removal is planned before work begins. We assess the tree, the surrounding area and any obstacles, then choose the right method — whether that's a controlled fell or a sectional dismantling from the top down — to keep your property safe throughout.
When does a tree need to be removed?
- The tree is dead, dying or severely diseased beyond recovery
- Structural defects make the tree unsafe — cracks, decay, root damage
- Storm or wind damage has compromised the tree's integrity
- The tree is too close to a building, wall or infrastructure
- Roots are causing damage to drains, foundations or paving
- The tree is simply in the wrong location for your plans
Methods we use
Both methods leave the stump at ground level. Stump grinding can be arranged as an additional service.
Controlled Felling
Where there is enough clear space, the tree is felled in one piece in a planned direction — the most efficient method when conditions allow.
Sectional Dismantling
Where space is limited near buildings or fences, we climb and remove the tree section by section from the top down, lowering each piece safely using ropes and rigging.

Tree removal FAQs
Do you need planning permission to remove a tree?
It depends on the tree. Trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a Conservation Area require permission from the local council before removal. We can advise whether your tree is protected and, if so, help you understand the application process. For trees not covered by any restriction, no permission is needed.
How much does tree removal cost?
The cost depends on the tree's size, its location, site access and the complexity of the job. A small garden tree can cost a few hundred pounds, while a large tree requiring sectional dismantling may cost significantly more. We offer free, no-obligation site visits and written quotations — contact us to arrange yours.
Do you remove the stump as well?
Tree removal leaves the stump at ground level as standard. Stump grinding — where the stump is ground down below the surface — can be arranged as an additional service. We'll discuss your options when we visit the site.
How long does tree removal take?
Most tree removals take between half a day and a full day, depending on the tree's size and the complexity of the job. Larger trees requiring sectional dismantling may take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when we quote.

Yes. TD Tree Services carries full public liability insurance for all tree removal work, including emergency call-outs. You're protected throughout the entire process, from initial assessment to site clear-up.
