A Proper Introduction to North Cheshire Forestry
Hello there, and thanks for visiting.
If you’ve got a tree that’s causing you concern, blocking the light, or just needs a professional tidy-up, you’ve come to the right place. We are North Cheshire Forestry, we’ve been working with trees in and around the beautiful High Peak for decades.
We first started this business back in 1976. In that time, we’ve seen pretty much every situation you can imagine. We’ve worked on huge, protected oaks, dealt with storm damaged poplars leaning precariously over houses, and carefully pruned cherished apple trees in back gardens. That experience counts for a lot. It means we know our local trees, and we know how to handle tricky jobs with a calm, methodical approach.
We are a team of practical, qualified tree surgeons who believe in doing a good day’s work for a fair price. For us, it’s about safety, skill, and leaving your property tidier than we found it.
Whether you’re in Buxton, Glossop, Chapel-en-le-Frith or a quiet village in between, we’re here to offer sound advice and expert service.
Our Core Tree Surgery Services
Every tree and every job is different, but here’s a rundown of the main services we provide for homeowners, businesses, and landowners across the region.
- Tree Felling & Removal: The complete and safe removal of a tree. We use tried-and-tested techniques to dismantle trees safely, especially in confined spaces near buildings, fences, or phone lines.
- Crown Reduction: Reducing the overall size of the tree’s canopy. This is ideal for letting more light into your garden or taking the weight out of heavy, over-extended branches, reducing the risk of failure.
- Crown Lifting: Removing the lower branches of a tree to increase the clearance from the ground. Perfect for improving access, views, or creating space over roads, footpaths, and lawns.
- Crown Thinning: Selectively removing branches from within the tree’s canopy. This allows more light and air to pass through, which can improve the tree’s health and reduce its “sail effect” in high winds.
- Stump Grinding & Removal: Once a tree is felled, we can mechanically grind the stump down below ground level, allowing you to reclaim the area for turf, planting, or building.
- Hedge Trimming & Maintenance: From small garden hedges to large commercial boundaries, we can trim, shape, and reduce them to keep them neat, healthy, and manageable.
- Emergency Tree Work: The High Peak winds can be unforgiving. If you have a fallen or dangerous tree that needs immediate attention, give us a call. We’re here to help make the situation safe.

Nearly 50 Years on the Job
We were established in 1976. You don’t stay in this business for that long by cutting corners. This experience means we can quickly and accurately assess a job, foresee potential problems, and find the most efficient and safest solution. We’ve built our reputation on solid, reliable work, and we’re proud of that.
Fully Qualified and Insured for Your Peace of Mind
Tree surgery is a skilled profession that requires proper training. All our staff are NPTC trained and certified, which is the industry standard for competence in operating chainsaws and performing aerial tree work. We are also fully insured with comprehensive Public Liability and Employers’ Liability cover, so in the unlikely event of an accident, you, your property, and our team are completely protected.
Working to the Highest Professional Standards
All our tree work is carried out in accordance with BS3998 Tree Work Recommendations. This is the British Standard that guides our industry, ensuring that every cut we make is for the long term health and stability of the tree. It’s the rulebook for doing the job properly, from start to finish.
Independently Vetted and Trusted
We believe in accountability. That’s why we’ve earned Trustmark status. This is a government endorsed quality scheme, which means our technical skills, trading practices, and customer service have been independently checked and verified. We are also proud members of respected trade bodies, including the Forestry Contracting Association (FCA), which keeps us at the forefront of industry best practices.
A Responsible Approach to the Environment
We live and work in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, and we take our environmental responsibility seriously.
- 100% Recycling Policy: Nothing we take down goes to landfill. Every bit of timber and branch material is processed and recycled.
- Woodchip for the Community: The branches are chipped on-site and we provide this high-quality woodchip to local farms and allotments for pathways and mulching.
- Logs for Firewood: Larger timber is processed into seasoned logs, providing a sustainable source of firewood for local homes.
- Respect for Wildlife: We carry out our work with a deep respect for local wildlife. We are meticulous about checking for nesting birds during the breeding season (typically March to August) and will always postpone work on a tree if an active nest is present. We will advise on the best course of action to ensure no harm is caused.
Ready to Discuss Your Trees?
Whether you have a clear idea of what you need or you’d just like some professional advice, we’re here to help.
The first step is a simple phone call. We’ll listen to your requirements and can often give you a rough idea of the process over the phone. For most jobs, we’ll arrange a convenient time to visit your property, assess the tree(s) in person, and provide you with a clear, detailed, and completely free, no-obligation quotation.
There’s no pressure, just honest advice from experienced professionals.
