About DB Tree Care

What We Stand For

We believe that tree care done properly makes a real difference, not only to the health and safety of your trees, but also to the appearance of your property and the environment around us. In practice, this means honest advice, work completed to the highest professional standards, and a genuine commitment to doing right by both our clients and the trees we work with.

MEET DOMINIC

Owner & Lead Arborist

DB Tree Care is led by Dominic, whose passion for trees, plant health, and ecology goes far beyond the job. With extensive training and hands-on experience across all aspects of arboriculture, Dominic has developed a deep understanding of tree biology, fungal diseases, structural risk assessment, and ecological habitats that few tree surgeons in the region can match.

Dominic’s knowledge of tree-associated fungi, from honey fungus and bracket fungi to subtle signs of Phytophthora and other root rots, ensures that DB Tree Care can identify problems that others miss, advise on the best course of action, and often recommend solutions that preserve a tree rather than remove it.

He is also deeply committed to wildlife conservation. Before any work is carried out, we consider the potential impact on bats, nesting birds, and other species that may depend on the tree in question. We work in accordance with wildlife legislation and are always happy to advise on ecology and habitat preservation.

OUR APPROACH

Quality, Care & Ecology

Cutting corners is never an option. For every job, we select the right equipment, including Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) where climbing would be less safe or practical.

We assess every tree surgery operation in accordance with the industry code of practice for arboriculture. Depending on the situation, this may mean two-rope working, cherry picker access, or mechanised dismantling.

Throughout the work, we treat your property, garden, and surrounding environment with exceptional care. Once the work is complete, we leave the site clean, tidy, and clear.

Tree removal is always a last resort. In our view, a tree should only come down when there is genuinely no better option. That is why our starting point is always:

  • Can this tree be saved?
  • Can it be made safe?
  • Can it continue to provide habitat and beauty?

Only when the answer is genuinely no do we recommend removal, and even then, we look for ways to leave something behind for wildlife. You can learn more about our full range of services here.
