Certified, insured arborists for safe, compliant, and efficient tree care — for homes, sites, and commercial properties.
Whether you need urgent storm damage support, routine pruning, or full tree removal, DB Tree & Garden Services delivers tidy, professional results with minimal disruption. We work across Sunderland, Durham, and the wider North East. Supporting homeowners, landlords, and commercial sites with safe methods and clear communication from start to finish.
Need a tree removed in Sunderland or the North East? We carry out safe, controlled tree felling for dangerous, diseased, storm-damaged, or unwanted trees. We assess access, nearby structures, and risk, then remove the tree in sections where needed—keeping disruption low and the site tidy.
Our crown reduction and pruning service improves safety, light levels, and clearance while keeping the tree healthy and balanced. Ideal for overgrown canopies, encroaching branches, and maintenance work for homes, landlords, and commercial sites across the North East.
We offer stump grinding to remove stumps below ground level, helping prevent trip hazards and making way for landscaping, turfing, fencing, or building work. It’s a clean, efficient option compared to full excavation—especially where access is tight.
From quick trims to full reshaping, we provide hedge cutting and reductions for domestic and commercial clients. Whether it’s boundary hedges, access routes, or overgrown screening, we leave a neat finish and remove all green waste if required.
All work can include full waste removal—branches, timber, and debris cleared and disposed of responsibly. If you prefer, we can also chip on site where suitable, keeping your project moving and the area compliant and presentable.

EXCELLENT Based on 39 reviews Posted on CarolineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick professional service. We had an ivy bush removed that was growing up the side of the house, it was done quickly they left the garden really tidy and provided great advice. Would recommend 😀Posted on CaroleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Darren and his lads came on a Sunday after getting my enquiry online, gave a very competitive price to remove an 8foot high by 50 foot long leylandi hedge and grind out the stumps and removal of all the rubbish. He did it the following day after I accepted the quotation, arrived at 8.30 and had job completed by 4pm. Would highly recommend, very polite lads, nothing too much trouble for them. Did enjoy a cuppa and biscuit while working, the least I could do for them. If fact he received a couple of enquiries from neighbours while they were working. 👌Posted on Pamela whitehurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent job! My garden had been left for a couple of years unattended, and shrubs and trees had overgrown. It really had become quite messy. Darren responded very promptly in giving me an estimate, and in doing the work. It was really nice and easy doing business with him. I am very happy with the results, and my garden now looks amazing. Darren and his lads were all very efficient and very nice. It was obvious to me that they all truly care in doing a good job and pay attention to detail. I will be keeping DB Services for my garden on a regular basis from now on.Posted on Stephen HolstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called Darren and he came and viewed the job and gave me a reasonable quote I was happy with and done a great job on an very overgrown garden and cleaned up after them. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Top job, thanksPosted on Therese CollinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Huge shout out to Darren and the team. Tackling tricky jobs, getting them done to perfection and clearing up thoroughly afterwards. I'm very impressed and grateful as always. Cheers guys.Posted on Sandra ScraftonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I rang this company as I'd been let down by a no show. Reviews were really good and they didn't disappoint. Darren came out within the hour to quote (on a Sunday!) and was knowledgeable and gave good advice on the job. He did the job within the week. Did exactly what he said he would - everyone polite, professional, and hardworking. I'm delighted, and would recommend him highly!
