Specialists in safe dismantling
We remove trees in tight Wilmslow gardens and shared drives every week. Our team is NPTC qualified and follows best-practice rigging methods to lower timber in controlled sections. Drop zones are protected with boards and mats, and arisings are chipped on site for removal or reuse as mulch. When appropriate, we can fell whole trees where there’s space, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Sectional dismantling
Ideal where space is limited or targets are close by. We climb, remove limbs methodically and rig down timber to the ground team. Great for removals near greenhouses, fences and outbuildings in central Wilmslow streets.
- Precise lowering to avoid damage
- Clear communication with neighbours where access is shared
- Efficient debris handling for a fast, tidy finish
Felling where space allows
If there’s a safe fell line, we can bring the tree down in one, saving time and cost. We always assess wind, lean, decay and ground conditions before committing to a fell.
- Directional cuts and wedges for accuracy
- Clear exclusion zones and signage
Hazard & storm-damaged trees
Split leaders, uprooted trees and heavy hangers are made safe as a priority. We secure the area, dismantle unstable sections and coordinate with insurers if you need documentation.
- Rapid attendance where practicable
- Photographs and notes for claims
Stump grinding
Once the tree is down, we can grind the stump to approximately 150–300 mm below ground to allow re-turfing or replanting. Narrow-access machines fit many side passages around Wilmslow.
- Grindings left as mulch or removed
- Surface reinstatement available
Sometimes a full removal isn’t necessary. We’ll explain alternatives such as crown reduction, crown lifting or selective thinning if they solve the problem while keeping the tree.
Permissions, conservation areas & TPOs
Parts of Wilmslow and nearby Alderley Edge include conservation areas and Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). If your tree is protected, consent is usually required before removal. We help you check status and can provide a clear description of works for the application. Safety exemptions (for example, removing dead wood) may still apply and we’ll advise on the best route.

- Pavement/highway safety maintained during works
- Neighbour liaison for overhanging branches and shared access

Replanting ideas for Wilmslow gardens
If you’re replacing a large or unsuitable tree, we can suggest species that thrive locally without dominating small plots—rowan, amelanchier, ornamental cherry, field maple and compact birch are popular choices. Planting, staking and mulching can be included in our quote.

Frequently asked questions
How do you remove a tree in a small Wilmslow garden?
We dismantle it in sections, lowering pieces with ropes to protect patios, sheds and landscaping. Where access is very tight, timber is cut into manageable sizes and carried out safely.
Do I need permission to remove my tree?
You may if there’s a TPO or you’re in a conservation area. We help check status and can support applications. Unsafe or dead wood usually qualifies for exemptions—ask us for advice.
What happens to the waste?
Branches are chipped on site and removed unless you’d like to keep woodchip. Timber can be taken away or cut to log lengths. We leave paths and lawns clean before we go.
Can you grind the stump?
Yes. We grind most stumps 150–300 mm below ground. Grindings can be left as mulch or removed, and we can reinstate surfaces if required.
How much does tree removal cost in Wilmslow?
Price depends on height, spread, access, complexity, proximity to buildings and whether stump grinding is included. We provide free written quotes after a short visit so you know exactly what’s included.
Do you offer replanting after removal?
Absolutely. We can suggest suitable species for your space and soil, supply, plant, stake and mulch new trees as part of the same project.
