Arb Association Approved Contractors
Tree Care Carried Out to the Highest Standard
Being Arboricultural Association Approved means our qualifications, insurance, and working practices are independently verified, not self-certified. It’s a standard that only a small number of companies in Sheffield hold, and it means every service we carry out meets the requirements of British Standard BS3998. When you book DB Tree Care, you’re booking specialists, not generalists.

We offer a wide range of tree surgery services, and more importantly, we have the skills and equipment to handle them.
Browse our services below:
Tree Removal
Tree Removal
Safe, controlled felling and dismantling of trees of all sizes. We assess every tree individually and use the most appropriate technique for the location, including sectional dismantling where space is restricted.
Crown Reduction
Crown Reduction
Reduces the overall height and spread of a tree by carefully shortening outer branches back to suitable growth points. Ideal for a tree that has outgrown its surroundings, is placing excessive load on its root system, or where reducing the canopy size will lessen the effects of wind loading.
Crown Thinning
Crown Thinning
Selectively removes branches from within the canopy to improve light penetration and air circulation without altering the overall size or shape of the tree. Reduces wind loading and benefits both the tree and the planting beneath it.
Tree Pruning
Tree Pruning
Formative and maintenance pruning to improve the health, shape, and safety of your trees. We assess each tree individually and prune to encourage long-term health and stability.
Stump Grinding
Stump Grinding
Complete stump removal using tracked grinding machinery, leaving the ground clear and ready for replanting, landscaping, or construction. Suitable for all stump sizes and accessible in most garden situations.
Hedge Cutting
Hedge Cutting
Professional hedge cutting and trimming for residential and commercial clients. From formal garden hedges to overgrown leylandii, we cut to shape, remove all waste, and always check for nesting birds before work begins between March and August.
Tree Planting
Tree Planting
Expert advice and hands-on planting for the right tree in the right place. DB Tree Care can advise on species selection for your soil type, aspect, and space, and carry out the planting to give your new tree the best possible start.
MEWP Tree Surgery

Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t see your question below please get in touch and we would be happy to help.
How do I know which service my tree needs?
If you’re not sure, don’t worry — that’s what we’re here for. We visit every property before quoting and will assess your trees and recommend the most appropriate course of action. There’s no obligation to proceed.
Can you carry out multiple services in one visit?
Yes, and it’s often more cost-effective to do so. If you have several trees needing different types of work, we’ll assess everything in one visit and factor it into a single quote.
Do you work on trees of all sizes?
Yes — from small ornamental trees to large mature specimens. We have the equipment and expertise to handle trees of all sizes safely.
How long does tree work typically take?
It varies considerably depending on the size of the tree and the type of work. A single crown reduction on a medium tree might take two to three hours; a large removal with stump grinding could take a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote.
What Our Customers Say
We let our work speak for itself. DB Tree Care is proud to have received consistently excellent feedback from homeowners and businesses across Sheffield and South Yorkshire. Read what our customers say below.
We contacted DB Tree Care Ltd when a large branch came off one of our trees. Dominic and his team came and removed everything from our garden leaving it clean and tidy. We found him to be a very professional young man, very thorough and with an attention to detail. We would certainly use his company again and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone with tree problems.
Maureen Jones
Just had some Field Maples, a smoke bush (tree size) and hedges trimmed. A great service from initial contact and consultation to actually doing the work. All the guys were pleasant and efficient and have a real empathy for the trees and plants. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend them.
Catherine J
Excellent service by Dominic and his team. Arrived on time and worked efficiently to remove a multi-stem ash tree, which had evidence of disease and was causing damage to a boundary wall. Dominic's team also completed a height reduction on two sycamore trees, which were encroaching on the telegraph lines. They cleared the site of debris and tidied up before they left. I am very happy with both the price and the service they delivered. Thank you
Martin
Dominic was a genuine pleasure to work with throughout. His depth of knowledge and passion for taking care of nature really stood out. He did exactly what he promised and carried out our tree work with great skill and care. What we especially appreciated was the helpful advice he offered on looking after our trees and encouraging wildlife in the garden. We feel fortunate to have found him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
kevin burrows
Highly recommended. All parts of the service have been brilliant from the initial quote through to the quality of the work which was to remove over hanging branches from trees in our neighbours garden. A friendly and professional team who did a great job. They left the garden and driveway tidy and clear of any left over branches. Will definitely use again.
Sarah Stone
We’ve used Dom and his team for years and would not consider any other company for tree services. Dom has a wealth of knowledge and expertise and is passionate about his work and about how to care for trees from an environmental point of view. He has always given the best advice for how to care for our trees and charges extremely fairly for all work undertaken. I can’t recommend DB Tree Care highly enough.
sarah darragh
Excellent work as always. Great advice from Dominic, efficient and professional work done by a hard working team. Always leave the site clear and tidy, nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended.
Deborah H
I have a young silver birch which had been getting out of control. The firm came and gave me advice and a quote which I accepted, despite not being the cheapest, due to their manners & professionalism. They did an excellent job in trimming back the tree in a sensitive way and tidied up all the cuttings.
Margaret Ford
I would recommend this company as very professional in their approach to any tree care you require. I trusted them to do my project safely, it was followed through efficiently and with no mess at the end. The team worked well on the day. Recommend highly in their services and cost competively
Roselyn Malone
Great service from DB Treecare. Dominic is extremely knowledgable and has given excellent advice. He communicated and responded to any of my queries quickly. He cut down four Cyprus trees, cut down and removed ivy and pruned a laurel bush. The job was completed as discussed and all debris taken away. Highly recommended.
