Experienced Local Tree Surgeons for All Types of Tree Work
Trees are an important part of any garden or property, but they need proper management to remain safe, healthy and suitable for their surroundings.
Herring Trees & Landscaping provides professional tree surgery throughout Derby, Nottingham, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, working with homeowners, landlords, businesses and property managers.
From carefully pruning a mature tree to dismantling a large tree in a restricted garden, our experienced team can assess the work and recommend a practical solution.
Our tree surgery services include:
Whether you’re already know exactly what needs doing or simply have a tree you’re concerned about, contact Herring for professional advice and a free, no-obligation quotation.
From routine tree maintenance to large and difficult removals, we provide a comprehensive tree surgery service.
Complete removal of unwanted, damaged, dead, diseased or unsuitable trees.
Where there is sufficient space, conventional felling may be possible. In restricted locations, trees can be carefully dismantled in manageable sections.
Professional tree felling where the location and surrounding space allow a tree to be safely brought down.
The appropriate method depends upon the size, condition and position of the tree.
Large trees close to houses, garages, conservatories, fences or neighbouring properties often cannot simply be felled.
Sectional dismantling allows the tree to be carefully taken down piece by piece using specialist climbing and lowering techniques where required.
Selective pruning can help manage established trees without unnecessarily removing them.
Pruning may be used to remove dead, damaged, crossing or problematic branches and manage the tree’s overall growth.
Reducing the overall height and/or spread of a tree while retaining an appropriate natural shape.
Crown reduction can be useful where a tree has become too large for its surroundings but complete removal isn’t necessary.
Selective removal of branches throughout the crown to reduce density while broadly retaining the tree’s overall size and shape.
Removing appropriate lower branches to increase clearance beneath a tree. This can be useful where branches interfere with:
Dead branches can eventually fall without warning.
Professional deadwood removal targets dead, dying or damaged branches that may create a risk to people, vehicles, buildings or areas beneath the tree.
Trees can become unsafe because of decay, structural defects, root problems, storm damage or other deterioration.
We’ll assess the situation and recommend appropriate work.
High winds and severe weather can leave trees with split branches, damaged crowns or unstable sections.
We provide professional assessment and remedial tree work following storm damage.
Once a tree has been removed, stump grinding can remove the remaining stump below ground level, helping reclaim the area for future use.
There comes a point when retaining a tree is no longer practical.
Tree removal may be considered when a tree is:
The first step is deciding how the tree can be removed safely. A tree standing in a large open area presents a very different job from a mature tree surrounded by houses, fences and sheds. Herring will assess the tree, access and surrounding property before deciding upon the most appropriate working method.
This is where professional tree surgery really earns its keep.
Large trees in residential gardens often have nowhere to fall safely. There may be:
directly beneath or around them. In these situations, the tree can be dismantled progressively. Branches are removed in controlled sections before the main stem is reduced piece by piece. Where required, ropes and specialist lowering equipment can be used to control sections rather than simply allowing them to fall.
Not every troublesome tree needs removing.
Often, the better solution is professional pruning. Tree pruning may help:
The correct pruning method depends upon the species, age, condition and location of the tree. We don’t believe in simply attacking every tree with a chainsaw until it’s half the size it used to be. Good tree surgery should have a reason behind it.
Crown reduction reduces the overall dimensions of a tree’s canopy. This may involve reducing:
The aim is to create a smaller crown while maintaining an appropriate shape and branch structure. Crown reduction may be considered where a tree has become too large for its surroundings but is otherwise suitable for retention.
Crown thinning involves selectively removing branches throughout the crown.
Unlike crown reduction, the objective isn’t necessarily to make the tree substantially smaller. Instead, thinning can reduce the density of the canopy while broadly retaining its existing dimensions.
Every tree is different, so we’ll assess whether thinning is appropriate before recommending it.
Low branches can eventually interfere with how the space underneath a tree is used.
Crown lifting involves removing appropriate lower branches to increase clearance. It may be useful above:
As with any substantial pruning, the amount removed needs to be appropriate for the particular tree.
Dead branches don’t repair themselves.
As wood deteriorates, branches can become increasingly vulnerable to breaking. This is particularly important where trees overhang:
Deadwood removal can selectively remove potentially hazardous dead branches while retaining the living tree.
Not every leaning tree is dangerous, and not every perfectly upright tree is safe.
Potential warning signs can include:
If something about a tree has noticeably changed, getting it inspected is far better than guessing.
Storm damage can change the condition of a tree very quickly.
Strong winds can cause:
If you believe a damaged tree is unsafe, keep people away from the affected area and contact us. Trying to tackle a partially fallen tree with a ladder and a chainsaw borrowed from your neighbour is one of those ideas that can become considerably worse very quickly.
Cutting down the tree doesn’t automatically remove the stump.
An old stump can:
Stump grinding mechanically reduces the stump and major surface material below ground level. This can leave the area far easier to landscape or reuse.
Large mature trees require considerably more planning than small garden trees.
Before work begins, factors can include:
Our team can assess large trees and determine the safest and most practical method of carrying out the work.
Yes, in many situations.
Trees growing close to houses, extensions, garages and conservatories frequently need sectional dismantling rather than conventional felling.
The tree can be progressively reduced from the crown downwards, with sections controlled where necessary. Every location is different, which is why we assess the surroundings before starting.
Herring provides tree surgery for homeowners throughout Derby, Nottingham and surrounding areas. We can help with:
Whether it’s one small tree or several mature trees across a large property, contact us for a quotation.
We also provide tree surgery for commercial customers and organisations. Properties can include:
Tree work can be discussed on either a one-off or ongoing basis depending upon the site.
Sometimes.
Certain trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), while additional restrictions can apply to trees within conservation areas. This can mean permission or formal notification is required before particular work is carried out.
Never assume that because a tree is growing on your property you can automatically carry out any work you choose. If there’s uncertainty over a protected tree, the position should be established before work begins.
Overhanging trees are one of those subjects capable of turning perfectly pleasant neighbours into amateur barristers remarkably quickly.
The circumstances vary, particularly when trees are protected. If you’re considering substantial work to a boundary tree or branches extending over neighbouring land, it’s sensible to establish ownership and any relevant restrictions before work begins.
For large or potentially dangerous trees, professional assessment is advisable.
Tree surgery can produce an impressive amount of material. Depending upon the work, this can include:
Waste generated by our work can be cleared as part of the agreed service. If you want suitable logs or woodchip left at the property, this can be discussed beforehand.
Trees at rental properties can easily be overlooked until a tenant reports a problem. We can help landlords and property managers with:
Professional tree management helps prevent relatively straightforward problems from becoming considerably larger ones.
