Stump grinding is a much more effective way to remove the stump of a tree. Our tree surgeons in Worksop do this with a powerful, industrial stump grinder with a spinning cutting disc, which enables us to chip away at the stump below ground level.

When a tree needs to be removed, our expert tree surgeons in Worksop assess its health and surroundings to determine the safest felling method. Whether it requires a straight fell from the base or sectioning it down in pieces we manage the entire process—from precise cuts and designated drop zones to final processing and site clearance. 🌳

A Tree Preservation Order ‘TPO’ is given to certain trees in England by the local planning authorities, in order to protect them from being damaged, moved, topped or taken down. As it is a criminal offence to alter a tree marked with a TPO, you will need to gain authority from the planning authority according to the location of the tree beforehand. It is also important to bear in mind that your application could take up to two months.

There are a few different things you could do to a tree depending on the species of the tree.
A tree crown reduction is when the size of the crown is reduced, by shortening and pruning branches. This is often done when the tree has failed a limb or a branch or has outgrown its natural environment. No matter the reason, we’ll always aim to achieve the most natural and suitable shape for the tree and its health.
This is where the lower branches of the tree are removed, to create more light under the crown and to avoid interference with the environment below - such as pedestrian access.
Pollarding is a pruning process that involves removing secondary branches to avoid the tree outgrowing its natural environment. By leaving the larger limbs of the tree (or even just the main stem) trees and shrubs are able to be kept to a certain size and height. When done annually or every couple of years, this can allow for the tree to live a longer life. However, not all trees are suited to pollarding.
This is a pruning technique that involves the gentle reduction of lateral branches on a tree. By reducing your tree's spread through selective branch removal, you are maintaining its good health, natural form and structural integrity.

When trimming or reducing overgrown hedges, our tree surgeons in Worksop ensure that the annual regrowth is trimmed off, to maintain a formal shape and desirable height.
To keep a beautiful, manicured look, we recommend an annual trim to maintain your hedges. whether it's a small conifer hedge that needs a tidy or a large row of Leylandii conifers you need reducing, JRS here to help.

Trees may require professional pruning when branches have become damaged, overgrown, obstructive, or are affecting the tree’s structure. Regular pruning can also help maintain the tree’s natural shape and promote healthy growth. The appropriate timing and method will depend on the tree species and its condition.
Tree removal may be necessary when a tree is dead, diseased, severely damaged, dangerous, or has outgrown its surroundings. In some cases, removal may also be recommended where a tree is causing significant structural or access issues. Our Tree surgeons in Retford can assess the tree and advise whether removal is the most appropriate option.
Tree removal involves safely cutting down and removing the tree itself, while stump grinding deals with the remaining stump after a tree has been removed. Stump grinding uses specialist equipment to grind the stump below ground level, leaving the area suitable for future landscaping or replanting.
Crown reduction involves selectively shortening branches throughout the crown to reduce the overall size and spread of a tree. It can be used where a tree has become too large for its surroundings or where reducing its overall weight and spread is beneficial. Our tree surgeons in worksop aim to retain the tree’s natural shape and structure wherever possible.
