Trees can be one of the best features of a property – until they become too large, damaged, unstable or simply unsuitable for where they’re growing.
Our professional tree surgery service covers everything from routine pruning and crown management through to sectional dismantling and complete tree removal.
We can help with:
Whether you’re trying to retain an established tree or need one removed completely, we’ll assess the situation and recommend an appropriate approach.

A well-maintained hedge provides privacy, security and an attractive natural boundary.
Give it a few years without attention, though, and things can get rather more interesting.
Herring provides professional hedge maintenance throughout Derby and Nottingham, including regular trimming and substantial reductions of large, mature and overgrown hedges. We work on conifers, Leylandii, privet, laurel, yew, beech, mixed hedges and established boundary hedges.
Our hedge services include:
Conifers can provide fantastic screening, but fast-growing varieties can quickly become much larger than originally intended.
Large conifer hedges may:
We can professionally reduce and reshape established conifer hedges to create a more manageable boundary. The amount that can safely be removed depends upon the species and condition of the hedge, which is why we’ll assess it before recommending the work.
There are many reasons why a tree may need removing. It could be:
Where there is sufficient room, straightforward felling may be possible. Where space is restricted by houses, garages, sheds, fences or neighbouring properties, the tree may need to be carefully dismantled in controlled sections. That’s the difference between tree surgery and simply turning up with a chainsaw and optimism.
Tree removal isn’t always necessary.
Professional pruning can often help manage an established tree while allowing it to remain an important part of the garden.
Depending upon the tree and the reason for the work, this may involve:
The correct approach depends upon the tree species, its condition and what you’re trying to achieve.
After a tree is removed, the stump can be left behind – but that isn’t always particularly useful.
Old stumps can:
Stump grinding mechanically reduces the stump below ground level, allowing the area to be reclaimed.
Strong winds, heavy rain and storms can cause branches or entire trees to fail unexpectedly.
Potential problems include:
If you believe a tree or branch has become dangerous, keep people away from the affected area and contact us for advice.

From trimming a small ornamental tree to dismantling a mature tree beside a property, we’ll assess the access, surrounding structures and safest working method before beginning.
