What a tree surgeon does
Tree surgeons fell, prune, reduce and reshape trees, remove dead or dangerous branches and grind out stumps. Before any work in Stafford, check with the council whether the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or you live in a conservation area, because both mean you need consent or must give notice first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to cut down a tree?
If the tree has a Tree Preservation Order you need the council's consent, and in a conservation area you must give the council six weeks notice for most tree work. A good tree surgeon will check this for you before they start.
When should trees not be cut?
Avoid major work during the bird nesting season, broadly March to August, because it is an offence to damage or destroy an active nest. Many trees are best pruned in late autumn or winter when they are dormant.
How do I choose a tree surgeon?
Ask for proof of public liability insurance and chainsaw qualifications, and whether they are an Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor. Get a written quote that says what will be cut, how the waste and stump are dealt with, and who checks for protection orders.
How do I get a quote from tree surgeons in Stafford?
Pick a listing on this page and send a quote request saying what needs doing and when suits you. The business comes back to you with a price and a time. It is free to ask, and no payment is taken online.
Are the tree surgeons on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records such as Companies House and Google and are marked as not yet claimed. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We do not check registers or insurance yet, so ask for a Gas Safe or NICEIC/NAPIT number and check it yourself.
What should I check before I hire a tree surgeon?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Prices and availability are confirmed by each business. No payment is taken online, you pay the tradesperson directly.
