Trees and hedges take the bareness out of a garden, giving it character and a personality. Whether you leave them as is or surround them with a selection of colourful flowerbeds and outdoor decorative pieces, they add depth to what can be a sparse and uninteresting lawn.
In addition to our tree removal, stump removal, tree pruning, crown thinning, shrub removal, and hedge removal services, our tree surgeons at Richwood Tree Services are on hand to offer advice based on our many years of experience. We also carry out garden renovation and maintenance services. Our Chesterfield residential and commercial clients benefit greatly from our knowledge and skills as we turn outdoor spaces into inviting and aesthetically pleasing areas.

If the tree’s leaves are falling when they should be blooming or have changed colour to dull shades of yellow, brown or black, they might be experiencing a nutrient deficiency. Other reasons for this include disease and infestations. Environmental issues, such as severe temperatures, may also play a part, so should be noted.
Dead or dying branches will snap off easily and cause safety concerns, so you must deal with this if your trees are close to public areas. Our tree surgeons offer selective thinning and deadwooding services, which can help prevent further issues. Reasons for brittleness include fungal or insect infestations and root damage.
Besides brittle branches and leaf discolouration, these infestations can severely affect a tree’s growth and vitality. They could also spread to surrounding vegetation if not addressed, resulting in essential tree, shrub or hedge removal. Watch out for slimy substances on the branches or tree trunk, mould growth, and the sudden appearance of mushrooms.
These could be a sign of more infestations or disease. To avoid urgent tree removal, we advise contacting our tree specialists in Chesterfield to have a complete survey carried out on the tree. The bark protects the tree’s core, and any cracking or peeling could prove detrimental to its survival.
If your trees are leaning, the cause may be root damage or excessive weight. If the latter, we can address the issue by performing our crown thinning and tree pruning services. However, if the problem is root damage, this may be a fungal infection within the root system, and we can treat the surrounding soil accordingly.
Regularly inspect the trees and vegetation at your Chesterfield property, especially after storms or extreme weather, to spot any early signs of trouble. Our tree surgeons at Richwood Tree Services are also on hand to help with a range of relevant services:
