Our Professional Tree Services for Your Cheadle Home & Garden


The leafy suburbs of Cheadle are full of beautiful, mature trees. But to keep them healthy, safe, and looking their best, they need professional care. Our team is fully equipped and qualified to handle any tree-related task, large or small.
Here’s what we can do for you:
- Tree Felling & Safe Removal: When a tree is dead, diseased, dangerous, or just in the wrong spot for a new extension or landscaping project, we can dismantle it safely. We use modern rigging techniques to bring trees down piece by piece, even in tight spaces, with no risk to your home or property.
- Crown Reductions, Thinning & Lifting: This is the best way to manage a living tree. We can reduce the overall size of the canopy to keep it in check, thin it out to allow more sunlight into your garden, or lift the lower branches to create more space for a path, driveway, or seating area.
- Stump Grinding & Removal: Don’t let an old tree stump be an eyesore or a trip hazard. Our powerful stump grinding equipment will remove it completely, grinding it into mulch well below ground level, leaving you with a clear space ready for new lawn or planting.
- Hedge Trimming & Maintenance: From a neat, formal box hedge to reducing the height of a large conifer screen, we’ll leave your hedges looking sharp, tidy, and well-maintained.
- Site Clearance: Preparing for a new build, a garden makeover, or just reclaiming an overgrown area? We can efficiently clear unwanted trees, shrubs, and vegetation, leaving you with a clean slate.
- Emergency Tree Work: Manchester’s weather can be unpredictable. If high winds have damaged a tree, leaving it in a dangerous condition, call us. We offer a rapid response service to make the situation safe.
- Tree Planting: Looking to plant a new tree? We can provide expert advice on the right species for your Cheadle garden and ensure it’s planted correctly to give it the best possible start in life.

Why Choose North Cheshire Forestry? It’s About Trust Built Over Decades.
When you hire a tree surgeon, you’re trusting them with the safety of your home and the health of your valuable trees. We’ve spent nearly half a century earning that trust, and we don’t take it lightly. Here’s what makes us different.
Established in 1976: Real, Hands-On Experience
We’ve been in this business since 1976. That’s a long time. It means we have decades of practical experience dealing with the specific types of trees, gardens, and access challenges found right here in Cheadle. This knowledge allows us to work safely and efficiently, spotting potential problems before they arise and getting the job done right the first time.
Fully Insured & NPTC Qualified Staff

Your property is always in safe hands. We have comprehensive Public Liability and Employers’ Liability insurance, so you are completely protected. Every member of our team is NPTC trained and certified, which is the industry-standard qualification for operating chainsaws, climbing trees, and performing complex tree surgery. It’s your guarantee of competence and safety.
Working to the Highest Standards (BS3998)
We believe in doing things properly. All our tree work is carried out in line with British Standard 3998:2010 ‘Tree Work – Recommendations’. This is the official guide for best practice in our industry. Following these standards ensures that every cut we make is beneficial for the tree’s long-term health and stability.
A Name You Can Depend On: Trustmark & FCA Members

Our reputation is important to us. We are proud to hold Trustmark status, a Government Endorsed Quality scheme that means we have been independently vetted for our technical skill, customer service, and fair trading practices. We are also members of trade bodies like the Forestry Contracting Association (FCA), which keeps us up to date with the latest safety standards and techniques.
Our Environmental Promise: Nothing Goes to Landfill
We have a deep respect for the environment we work in. That’s why we have a strict policy to recycle 100% of all the timber and branches we remove from a job.
- Woodchip: Smaller branches are put through our woodchipper on-site. This high-quality mulch is then delivered to local farms and allotments where it’s used to enrich soil and keep weeds down.
- Firewood: All larger wood is processed into quality logs for firewood, providing a sustainable fuel source for local homes.
Respect for Local Wildlife
We are always mindful that trees are homes for wildlife. During the nesting season (typically March to August), we carry out careful checks for nesting birds before starting any work. If an active nest is found, we will not disturb it, in line with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981, and will work with you to reschedule the job for a later date.
