Our Tree Surgery Services in Buxton and the High Peak
Trees are a wonderful part of our local scenery, but they need looking after to keep them healthy, safe, and in good shape. Our team is equipped and qualified to handle the full range of tree care services for both homes and businesses.
Here’s a look at what we do:
- Tree Felling & Removal: When a tree is dead, diseased, dangerous, or simply outgrown its space, we can dismantle it safely and efficiently. We use proven rigging techniques to bring trees down in a controlled manner, even in tight spaces, ensuring no damage to your property.
- Crown Reductions, Thinning & Lifting: This is the key to good tree management. We can reduce the overall size of a tree’s canopy to contain it, thin it out to let more light into your garden, or lift the lower branches to create more clearance for paths, buildings, or just to improve the view.
- Stump Grinding & Removal: An old tree stump can be an ugly trip hazard and a waste of space. Our powerful stump grinders will turn it into mulch, removing it completely below ground level so you can turf, pave, or plant over the area.
- Hedge Trimming & Management: From keeping your garden hedges neat and tidy to taming an overgrown conifer boundary, we have the tools and expertise to leave them looking sharp and healthy.
- Site & Garden Clearance: If you’re preparing a site for a new development, landscaping project, or just reclaiming an overgrown corner of your land, we can efficiently clear trees, shrubs, and vegetation to give you a blank canvas.
- Emergency Tree Work: The High Peak gets its fair share of strong winds. If a storm has brought down a tree or left branches in a dangerous state, give us a call. We provide a rapid response service to make the area safe.
- Tree Planting: Want to add new trees to your garden? We can help you choose the right species for the local conditions and plant them properly to ensure they thrive for years to come.

Why Choose North Cheshire Forestry? It’s About Experience You Can Trust.
Choosing a tree surgeon is a big decision. You need a team that is not only skilled but also reliable, safe, and trustworthy. We’ve built our reputation on these values for decades. Here’s what makes us the right choice for your tree work.
Established in 1976: Decades of Local Experience
We’ve been working in this industry since 1976. That’s nearly fifty years of hands-on experience with the trees, soil types, and weather conditions found right here in the High Peak. This deep-rooted knowledge means we can quickly identify potential issues, recommend the most practical solutions, and carry out the work with an efficiency that only comes from decades of practice.
Fully Qualified & Insured for Your Protection
Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. All our tree surgeons are NPTC trained and certified, which is the national standard for proving competence with chainsaws and complex tree surgery operations. Crucially, we hold full Public Liability and Employers’ Liability Insurance. This is our promise to you that in the very unlikely event of an accident, you and your property are completely covered.
Working to British Standards (BS3998)
We don’t cut corners. All our tree work is performed in accordance with British Standard 3998:2010 ‘Tree Work – Recommendations’. This is the official industry rulebook for best practice. It ensures that every cut is made to benefit the long-term health and structural integrity of your trees, promoting a long and safe life.
A Vetted and Approved Local Trader
We believe in accountability. That’s why we’re proud members of the Derbyshire Trusted Trader scheme, which is run by Derbyshire County Council Trading Standards. This means our business practices, qualifications, and customer service have been independently checked and approved. We also hold Trustmark status, a further government-endorsed quality seal, giving you complete confidence in our work.
A Green Approach: Nothing Goes to Waste
We live and work in this beautiful area, and we’re committed to protecting it. We operate a strict environmental policy to ensure 100% of the wood and branches we remove are recycled.
- Woodchip: Smaller branches are processed on-site into valuable woodchip, which is then delivered to local farms, stables, and allotments to be used as mulch or on pathways.
- Firewood: All good-quality timber is processed into seasoned logs for firewood, providing a sustainable, local fuel source for homes across the area.
Respect for Our Local Wildlife
We share our environment with local wildlife and take our responsibility to protect it seriously. During the nesting season (generally March to August), we conduct thorough inspections for active birds’ nests before starting any work. In line with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981, we will never disturb nesting birds and will advise on rescheduling the work if a nest is found.
