Looking After Your Trees, Looking After You
Hello, we’re North Cheshire Forestry. For over 45 years, we’ve been the team that people in Marple and the surrounding areas have called on for honest, professional tree work. We’re a local, family-rooted business, and we’ve been climbing, pruning, and safely felling trees here since 1976. You don’t last that long in this trade by cutting corners. It’s about experience, local knowledge, and earning your trust, one job at a time.
Whether you have a single tree in your back garden that’s become a concern, or a large commercial site that needs clearing, we have the skills, the equipment, and the right attitude to get the job done safely and efficiently. We’re not just about removing trees, we’re about managing them properly for their health, your safety, and the good of your garden.
We take pride in our work, and we take even more pride in leaving your property clean and tidy when we’re done. For us, it’s simple: do a good job, and treat every customer’s garden with respect.
Our Core Tree Surgery Services
We handle all aspects of tree care. No job is too big or too small. Our main services include:
- Tree Felling & Removal: The safe and controlled dismantling of trees, especially in confined or tricky spaces.
- Crown Reductions, Thinning & Lifting: Pruning work to reduce the size of the tree’s canopy, let more light through, or increase clearance from buildings and paths. All done with the tree’s health in mind.
- Stump Grinding & Removal: Once a tree is felled, we can grind the stump out below ground level, allowing you to reclaim the space for turf, planting, or paving.
- Hedge Trimming & Maintenance: From a yearly trim to reducing an overgrown conifer hedge, we’ll leave your hedges looking smart and healthy.
- Emergency Tree Work: Storms don’t keep office hours. If a tree has failed or become dangerous, give us a call for a rapid response.
- Site Clearance: Preparing land for development, landscaping, or construction projects by safely clearing trees and vegetation.
- TPO & Conservation Area Applications: We can provide advice and handle the paperwork for council applications needed for work on protected trees.

Why Choose North Cheshire Forestry? It’s All About Trust.
Choosing a tree surgeon can be daunting. You’re inviting someone onto your property to carry out potentially dangerous work. You need to know they’re qualified, insured, and reputable. Here’s why our customers have trusted us for decades.
Experience You Can Count On (Established 1976)
We’ve seen it all. From awkward, leaning tree threatening a greenhouse to mature oak trees that need a delicate touch. This long history means we have a deep understanding of how different trees grow and behave in our local area. We know how to approach each job with the practical wisdom that only comes from years on the tools.
Fully Qualified & Insured for Your Peace of Mind
Every member of our team is NPTC trained and qualified. These are the industry-standard certifications that prove we know how to operate chainsaws and other equipment safely and carry out complex tree work correctly. Furthermore, we are fully insured, holding comprehensive public liability insurance. This means in the highly unlikely event of an accident, your property and you are completely protected. We’re happy to show you our documentation before any work begins.
Working to the Highest Standard: BS3998
We follow the British Standard BS3998:2010 ‘Tree Work – Recommendations’. In simple terms, this is the official rulebook for good tree surgery in the UK. It covers everything from the type of cuts we make to how we assess a tree’s health. Adhering to this standard ensures that all our work is done to promote the long-term health and safety of your trees, not just provide a short-term fix.
Vetted, Approved & Recognised
We believe in accountability. That’s why we hold TrustMark status, a government-endorsed quality scheme that vets tradespeople for their technical competence, customer service, and fair trading practices. We are also proud members of leading trade bodies like the FCA (Arboricultural Association), which means we are regularly assessed and committed to upholding the best practices in the industry.
A Responsible Approach to the Environment
What happens to the wood after a job is important to us. We operate a strict environmental policy to ensure nothing goes to waste.
- 100% Recycling: All timber and branches removed from your property are fully recycled.
- Woodchip for the Community: Branches are processed through our woodchipper, creating a valuable mulch that we supply to local allotments and farms to improve their soil.
- Logs for Firewood: Larger sections of wood are processed into logs and seasoned for use as high-quality firewood, providing a sustainable local fuel source.
- Respect for Wildlife: We are extremely careful to protect nesting birds and other wildlife. We carry out thorough checks before starting any work, especially during the nesting season (typically March to August). If active nests are found, we will postpone any non essential work and advise on the best course of action, ensuring we stay on the right side of the law and nature.
