James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

Local tree felling experts
What is tree felling?
The term tree felling might conjure images of lumberjacks yelling “timber” deep in a wild forest. Tree felling is a routine job though, and if you need your overgrown garden clearing out, or have a tree that’s starting to lean dangerously, you can call on a tree surgeon who’s proficient in felling to help.
Tree felling is a much more technical and involved task than simply taking a chainsaw to a tree trunk or branch. It involves consideration, planning and careful working practices to ensure it’s completed safely and effectively.
An experienced tree surgeon will be able to advise you on whether you’re even permitted to remove a tree. It’s important to remember there are strict regulations governing the felling of established trees. If you can proceed, they’ll then be able to steer you through the process and complete the work – quickly and safely.
This means planning the work; checking the surrounding area and deciding the direction the tree in question will fall; pruning the tree to clear away branches and twigs; checking for evidence of disease (which could affect the tree’s fall); felling the tree and then clearing away the trunk and debris.
How much does tree felling cost?
Trees by their very nature (quite literally) come in all shapes and sizes. The cost to remove one will depend on how big the tree is, and where it’s situated.
The average cost to fell a tree is anywhere from £200-£400, and you might pay more if you need your tree surgeon to clear away the trunk and other debris. Expect to pay £50-£100 on top for that.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
- Tree Fully Cleared: A well-done job will have the tree completely removed, with no remaining parts left standing.
- No Debris Left Behind: The area should be clean, with all branches, leaves, and other debris removed.
- Minimal Disruption: There should be minimal impact on the surrounding area, with no unnecessary damage to nearby plants or structures.
At Rated People, our tradespeople are reviewed by previous customers, so you can see if they have done a good job before hiring them. Additionally, read through the guide on our local tree surgery page to find out what kinds of questions you should be asking beforehand.
Other tree felling FAQs
Do I need permission to fell a tree?
In some cases, you may need permission to fell a tree, especially if it is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if your property is in a conservation area. Check with your local council before proceeding.
Can I be fined for cutting down a tree?
Yes, if you cut down a tree without the necessary permissions, you could be fined. The fines can be substantial, so it’s important to ensure you have the right approvals before starting the job.
What is notching a tree?
Notching is a technique used in tree felling to control the direction of the tree’s fall. It involves making a V-shaped cut on the side of the tree facing the direction you want it to fall. This cut helps guide the tree’s descent and ensures it falls safely and accurately.

They caused a gas leak, they went door to door to all my neighbors trying to quote for garden work. They took my neighbours tools and used their water without permission - that’s trespassing. They left mess in my garden. They did not do the work as agreed. Very disappointed
