Tree surgeon in Cheshire and the North West
Keeping beautiful trees healthy and thriving requires specialist care and maintenance. Our team of fully qualified tree surgeons based in Ashley, Cheshire, are here to help with all aspects of domestic and commercial tree care, maintenance and advice.
We offer a range of tree maintenance services, including:
- Tree felling and removal
- Pruning and trimming
- Crown reduction
- Lifting canopies
- Pollarding
- Hedge reduction
- Stump grinding
- Site clearance
- Tree surveys
- Tree conservation and planting
You’ll find our team of tree surgeons at work across the whole of the North West from Cumbria to Crewe, most frequently in the leafy Cheshire towns of Knutsford, Hale, Wilmslow and Bowdon.
We will always try to preserve rather than remove a healthy, living tree. Sustainability is at our core – we leave your garden or property clean and tidy, removing all rubbish from site and turning it into woodchips, logs or biomass fuel.
Specialist training and equipment allows us to work safely and efficiently even in the most difficult-to-access sites. If you’re not sure what tree services you require, the best way to find out is to give us a call.
We provide a complete range of tree services to both domestic and commercial clients across Cheshire and the North West.
Pruning, thinning, and maintenance of trees of all sizes in private gardens, public spaces and at commercial properties. Removal of dead, dying, dangerous or diseased trees.
We take all logs and woodchip back to our yard where it is then collected in bulk for biomass fuel production or animal bedding.
Where a tree has fallen, outgrown its space, or cannot be saved, specialist stump grinding equipment allows us to fully remove the residual tree stump.
Tree surveys, monitoring and maintenance works for local authorities, golf courses and schools. Site clearance work for commercial construction and house-building projects.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Tree Surgeon vs Arborist – What’s the difference?
A tree surgeon is someone who specialises in the practical, hands-on implementation of tree pruning, felling and removal, crown reduction, and stump grinding with precision and safety. An arborist focuses on tree biology, health assessment, and long-term care planning, diagnosing diseases, conducting risk assessments, and develop management strategies.
At Cheshire Trees, we combine both skill sets to deliver a comprehensive range of tree services. Our qualified professionals provide the diagnostic expertise and skilled tree surgeons execute the physical work with advanced techniques and safety-first methodology.
How can you tell if a tree needs maintenance or full removal?
To tell if a tree needs maintenance, look for isolated dead branches, minor disease issues, manageable structural concerns, or growth requiring crown reduction. If a tree needs full removal, there are critical warning signs: significant trunk cracks, severe lean from root damage, extensive fungal growth, large sections of deadwood, or interference with utilities and buildings. The solution depends on the severity and location of structural issues.
Early professional assessment protects both your safety and trees. Many conditions that appear severe can be managed through precision tree surgery techniques to avoid the final step of removal.

What do you do with the waste after a project such as tree removal?
After a project, all timber and organic material removed during tree surgery is collected and transported back to our yard, where we implement sustainable processing methods. We transform wood waste into valuable resources, including converting timber into seasoned firewood or biomass fuel for renewable energy applications.
For clients interested in utilising their own timber, we offer on-site processing services, cutting logs into manageable rings perfect for home heating or garden use, and supporting environmental sustainability. Our waste management practices reflect our commitment to ecological stewardship. You can read more about our sustainable operations here.
Do you work on large scale site tree clearances?
Yes, we specialise in comprehensive site clearance services for commercial, council, and institutional clients across the North West of England, including Greater Manchester and Cheshire. As a recommended contractor for Trafford Council, we provide professional tree surgery solutions for schools, leisure centres, parks, hospitals, golf clubs, and other public facilities with statutory ground maintenance duties.
Our large-scale operations include complete site and project management, specialised crane work for complex removals, precision stump grinding, and wood chipping for biomass production. We ensure full compliance with Tree Preservation Orders and conservation guidance while maintaining environmental responsibility throughout every project. Talk to us about a project now.
When do you offer tree surgery services?
We provide professional tree surgery services year-round, with timing based on a comprehensive assessment of your specific situation. Winter months (November to February) often offer ideal conditions for most tree work as trees are dormant, but our certified team can safely perform essential maintenance and removal throughout the year when properly assessed.
Every project begins with thorough wildlife inspections and environmental evaluation, and we always ensure we’re compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 before beginning a project. During nesting season (March to August), we conduct detailed surveys to identify any occupied nests or resident species. Our expertise allows us to balance your immediate needs with environmental responsibility, providing safe, effective tree surgery solutions whenever they’re required.
