Tree Removal

Whilst we always try to maintain a healthy tree, there will be occasions where it’s location or health can pose a risk to your property. At Dr Stump, we use state of the art equipment to remove a tree with minimal disruption to you or your home.

In large areas, felling is the popular method to cut down a tree by cutting at the base. This requires a lot of surrounding space for it to fall, and is not ideal for trees that are growing next to houses or other structures. For tight spaces, our team offers sectional dismantling. Using climbers or a mobile platform, the tree is gradually taken apart to avoid damage to surroundings.

Maintenance

It’s always best to keep your tree healthy and tidy to avoid issues in the future. With crown reduction, crown thinning, lifting and cleaning services available, the team is accredited to remove branches or deadwood, or shape tree crowns to maximise your garden space.

Whether you need to improve lighting in your home, create space for cars, or reduce the risk of fallen branches, we’ll always be happy to advise on tackling disruptive trees, offering cost effective solutions to keep you safe.

Pruning

Pruning isn’t simple as it looks – cutting a tree or hedge in the wrong season can place stress on the plant and result in disaster. Leave it to the experts to keep things neat and tidy with hedge trimming, pollarding, planting, and tree care advice.

Pollarding is a method of pruning that keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow. It is normally started once a tree or shrub reaches a certain height, and regular pollarding will restrict the plant to that height. The initial removal of the top of a young tree at a prescribed height to encourage multi stem branching from that point, or “bolling”.

ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS ARBORICULTURE

Our team cares about the environment and aims to protect and conserve Norwich and the nearby area. We use biodegradable chainsaw oil and aspen fuel, which can reduce harmful emissions by up to 98%. We also use Tier V engines in our equipment in line with current EU, UK and US guidance to help further reduce Nitrogen Oxide emissions.

Staff use machinery with low-impact tracks to reduce markings and impact on the land.

Electric saws, trimmers, and cutters reduce noise pollution for built-up and ecologically sensitive areas.

 

domestic work icon

DOMESTIC

We understand that handling trees can often be a daunting task for homeowners. If the job isn’t done properly, there’s a risk of damage to your home and neighbouring properties. A tree protection order also has further complications with council planning and intervention.

We at Dr Stump have over ten years of experience and provide a bespoke service to each of our customers. We want you to feel safe and comfortable throughout the process, so we conduct a risk assessment before deciding on a course of action for you.

We have also made several efforts to consider the environment with our work and are considerate of your home and neighbouring areas when conducting tree services. 

Our thorough quotation process is transparent with no hidden fees, meaning you are always aware of our costs. 

commercial work icon

COMMERCIAL

We have a strong knowledge and experience of conducting work within a commercial environment with a significantly larger size, scope, and complexity than domestic projects. We’re well-versed in delivering tight schedules and operating within sensitive work sites and considering environmental, legal or health and safety factors for your business. Additionally, we offer a fast track service for urgent or time sensitive projects.

As tree surgeons with arboricultural expertise, we can provide a practical and affordable solution to plans affected by habitat management or planning policies. 

public land icon

PUBLIC LAND

Our Norwich tree surgeons are passionate about caring for the ecosystem and community within our public spaces and take additional precautions before carrying out works on public land. 

This often includes consulting an ecologist to ensure we can mitigate impact on native fauna – for example, we will schedule work around bird nesting season, avoid interfering with bat habitats, and use battery operated tools to avoid noise pollution in quiet areas.

In an effort to conserve Norfolk’s local wildlife, we install wildlife shelters to increase local biodiversity, such as bat and bird boxes, woodland shelter piles of deadwood for invertebrates, and habitats for lichen and mushrooms. 

We’re proud to say we’re able to care for the environment whilst carrying out works to a quality standard.

– Call our office and speak to the team.
– WhatsApp – For a speedy quotation on the go.

Step two

Site Inspection

The majority of tree works will require a site visit, whilst other services can be quoted after you send us a photo.

We’ll arrange a time and date that’s convenient for you for a site visit, where we can assess the work and discuss your requirements. There, we can take photographs, evaluate hazards and check potential issues such as access, Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), conservation areas or wildlife habitats.

Once we’ve assessed the situation we’ll send your quotation over for review. The costs are broken down and explained in our quotes for clarity and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I accept my quotation?

We’ll get in touch to arrange a date for the works to commence. If there are any TPOs (tree preservation orders) or you’re in a conservation area, we can apply for tree removal on your behalf.

When do you start the works?

Please be aware that planning and ecological constraints may stall when your tree works can start. Once these issues are resolved, we can schedule the job around you.

How do I pay?

We accept payment upon completion of the job as we want to ensure you’re satisfied with the work. We’ll send you an invoice that you can bank transfer or pay in cash. Please be aware that there is no discount for paying in cash.

Why is tree work so expensive?

If you receive a quote that’s unusually cheap, it’s most likely that a company lacks the sufficient qualifications, machinery, or training to follow industry standards – meaning you won’t be covered by insurance in the case of an accident. A licensed contractor will always prioritise your safety with the latest Health and Safety Executive Guidance. They will use industry standard equipment to carry out the job quickly and efficiently, minimising any disruption to your home and completing the works to an exceptional standard – which is what justifies the value of the job. Be wary of anyone making claims that they can fulfil the same requirements for a fraction of the price – as frankly, it’s often too good to be true. Search the ArbAc Approved directory to find someone you can trust.

Will I be ensured for tree works near my home?

When using a licensed professional that follows industry standards and best practices, you will often be covered by public liability insurance – but tree-related accidents are assessed on a case by case basis. Using an Arb Approved contractor will also bolster your chances of receiving sufficient cover in the event of an accident. However, using a company that isn’t following health and safety guidelines may result in a refusal for insurance. Always check for their relevant insurance and qualifications before accepting a job. Dr Stump has invested into an extremely high insurance premium to ensure any damages are covered in unforeseen circumstances. Schedule tree care with us today for peace of mind throughout the job.
