Barbizon Trees
What customers say
Barbizon Trees has built a following among Derby homeowners for taking down large and awkward trees, with jobs ranging from mature oaks and lime trees to extra-large conifers and established self-seeders removed in gardens across the city. Greg is named consistently as the man running the team, with reviewers describing him as approachable and knowledgeable, offering advice on planting and tree health alongside the practical work of felling, pollarding, crown reduction and stump grinding. Safe rigging and careful teamwork are highlighted when large trees are removed in difficult conditions, including one job completed in heavy rain without compromising on safety. Handling of council requirements in conservation areas is mentioned as a point of reassurance, with planning taken care of before work begins. Clearing away all resulting debris is a constant thread through the feedback, with gardens repeatedly described as left tidier than before work started. Competitive pricing is raised often, alongside a sense that quotes match the work delivered without surprises. Repeat instructions and family recommendations feature too, suggesting satisfaction extends beyond a single job. The business operates every day except Sunday, from Haydn Road, covering tree surgery work throughout Derby, including properties in conservation areas requiring extra planning and consideration.

Taking down extra - large trees in torrential rain sounds impossible, but these guys made it look easy. Safety was clearly their top priority.They used heavy rigging and worked seamlessly as a team with great skill despite the miserable weather. When they had finished the garden was clean and cleared. I honestly cannot recommend them enough their work ethic and professionalism is outstanding.Thank you Greg for an outstanding job and if I could give these guys more than a 5 star rating I certainly would.
Quick and easy removal of cherry and plum trees. Fair price quoted. They completed the job quickly and tidied up thoroughly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Greg and team spent two days taking down some large conifers in our back garden, 10/10 would recommend! Friendly. Hard working, professional and they tidied up that well the yard looked even better when they left than before they'd arrived!
Greg and his gang are fantastic! Best tree surgeon we've had. They got all the jobs done perfectly whilst giving us advice. Greg put all the planning into the council to do the trees because we live in a conservation area, so we had no stress with sorting it out. They also cleaned up after so well. Our garden looks so tidy and bigger now. 100% recommended them.
Great service from these guys. They took down 2 huge oak trees for me. Very Professional and nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks to Greg and his team
I heard about them from a friend that had some work done I had the team out to cut back/Pollard 😅the very tall willow tree 🌳 in my back garden. Thay gave me a good price 👌 and some good advice for the future. Very friendly and cleaned up everything. I would definitely recommend 👌 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Greg and his team did an excellent job on our trees yesterday. We asked for quite a few established self-seeders that had grown out of control before we bought the house to be taken down, an ailing apple to be felled, an out of control apple to be pollarded and two large (30-40 foot plus) established trees - a Norway maple and goat willow - to be reduced, plus some stump grinding. He delivered exactly what we asked for and his team were so hardworking, efficient, tidy and skilful. Excellent service, would highly recommend. Thank you. Greg and Team 👌
