Tree surgeons in Derby: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your property, you’re responsible for any trees within your boundary. But before booking tree services in Derby, check if:

• The tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
• Your home is in a conservation area
• There are restrictions in your title deeds

If any of these apply, you’ll need permission from Derby City Council. Your tree surgeon can usually help with checks and applications.

Renters

If you rent and notice a problem tree - whether overgrown, leaning, or rotten - contact your landlord or letting agent. It’s their responsibility to arrange inspections and maintenance. In flats or communal spaces, speak to your housing association or block manager.

Landlords

As a landlord, you must keep trees on your property safe and well maintained. That includes dealing with hazards, checking for protected trees, and using qualified tree surgeons to carry out the work.
