Amersham is our home town. Charlie set Assured Tree Services up here and the yard, tools and crew are all based locally, which means we know the roads, the tree stock, the estate agents and the council process inside out. Whether you're in Old Amersham with a listed cottage backing onto the Misbourne, on one of the 1930s tree-lined avenues around Amersham on the Hill, or on a newer estate off Woodside Road, we've almost certainly worked on your road — often on a neighbour's tree.
For most requests in HP6 and HP7 we can be out for a free site visit within a few working days, and often the same week. Genuine emergencies — a fallen tree blocking a drive, a split limb hung up over a roof, storm damage after high winds — go to the top of the list; a quick call with a photo is the fastest way to get a straight answer on timing.
Amersham's housing stock is unusually varied: 16th and 17th-century timber-framed cottages in the Old Town conservation area, Metroland semis from the 1920s and 30s around the station, mid-century detacheds along Chestnut Lane and Chesham Bois Common, and newer executive plots off Rickmansworth Road. Each brings its own tree issues — tight rear-garden access on the Hill, mature protected trees on the older plots, and lots of leylandii and laurel boundaries that need regular hedge work.
The requests we get most in Amersham are crown reductions on mature oaks, beeches and limes that have outgrown suburban gardens; deadwooding and thinning on large ornamentals overhanging patios; full tree removals where roots are lifting drives or paths; leylandii and laurel hedge reductions on boundary lines; and stump grinding after a removal so the ground can be turfed or replanted. Storm work spikes across the winter, especially on exposed plots up on the Hill.
The full range of tree surgery, hedge and grounds work across HP6, HP7. Every service quoted with a free site visit and a fixed written price.
Reduce the size, weight and density of your tree's canopy — protecting the tree's long-term health, your property, and the light in your garden — done to proper arboricultural standards.
Full tree removals carried out cleanly and safely — including tight-access section dismantling, TPO paperwork handled for you, and every last piece of waste taken away.
Fallen, split, hung-up or leaning trees made safe quickly — with a local, fully qualified team that turns up, works cleanly and clears the site before we leave.
Ground below surface level so you can reclaim the space — lawn, patio, driveway, planting bed or fence line — without a stump in the way and without the roots ripping up whatever comes next.
Crisp, uniform hedges — trimmed to the shape and height you want, with all clippings removed and the boundary left looking properly finished.
Regular, sensible tree care that keeps mature trees safe, healthy and in shape — before small problems turn into big ones you'd rather not pay for.
Repeat pruning cycles that keep large trees at a manageable height and volume for decades — without repeatedly removing and replanting mature amenity trees.
Controlled felling of larger trees where space genuinely allows — cut cleanly to the ground, brash chipped, timber removed or logged for you, site left properly tidy.
New fence lines and fresh turf to finish the garden properly — either after tree work has cleared the ground, or as a standalone rebuild of tired, sagging or bare boundaries.
The business is set up in Amersham and has been running here for 10+ years. Local base means shorter travel, faster site visits, and — when a job is straightforward — the ability to slot small works around larger bookings in the same week.
Amersham Old Town, parts of Amersham on the Hill and stretches along the Misbourne Valley are conservation areas with additional tree protections. We prepare and submit the 5-day notice or full application on your behalf and wait for consent before starting.
Mature oaks, beech, lime, ash, silver birch and copper beech are all common on Amersham plots — as are large leylandii, laurel and yew hedges. We've worked on all of them locally and know how each species responds to reduction and thinning.
All arisings are removed under our Environment Agency Waste Carrier registration — chipped, taken away or left as logs on your request. Nothing gets fly-tipped and nothing is left over the fence.
Property age, tree stock, soil and climate all shape the work here. These are the things we see most often across HP6, HP7.
A lot of Amersham gardens were planted with specimen oaks, beeches and limes decades ago when the plots were larger and the houses smaller. Today those trees can shade entire rear gardens, block guttering with leaf fall, and drop heavy limbs on lawns and patios. Careful crown reductions to BS 3998 principles — rather than aggressive topping — keep the tree healthy and manageable.
Chiltern District (now part of Buckinghamshire Council) has extensive Tree Preservation Orders across Amersham, and conservation areas add a second layer of protection for any tree over 75mm diameter. Cutting first and asking later can trigger enforcement and fines. We check the tree's status before we quote, and handle the application either way.
Parts of the Chilterns sit on shrinkable clay, and mature trees close to older brick houses can be flagged by insurers or structural engineers as a subsidence risk. We work from arb reports where they exist, and can carry out phased crown reductions to reduce water demand without felling the tree unnecessarily.
Many of the 1920s–30s houses around Sycamore Road, Woodside Road and the roads up the hill have narrow side accesses and no rear vehicle access. Section-dismantling from the top down, with lowering ropes and hand-carrying arisings through the house or side gate, is standard on these jobs — not something we improvise on the day.
The exposed positions on the ridge lines above Amersham catch the worst of the winter westerlies. Split unions on old lime avenues, hung-up limbs in beech crowns and fallen leylandii on boundary lines are all things we deal with every winter — usually with a same-week response for genuine risk cases.
A quick chat on 07777 722212 (or a message with a photo) is usually enough to tell you whether it's straightforward, whether it's likely to need council paperwork, and roughly what a site visit will involve. No pressure, no automated call centre.
We come out to look at the tree, the access, the drop zones, overhead lines, parking and anything sensitive nearby. On protected trees we photograph the condition and note the works needed for the application.
You get a clear written price — fixed for the job, or a day rate if that suits the work better — with the method, waste plan and timing spelled out. No 'from £X' figures and no surprises on the invoice.
We agree a date that works for you and, where the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area, we prepare and submit the application or 5-day notification on your behalf as standard.
The crew arrives on time, protects the ground and beds, uses ropes and rigging where needed, chips and removes all arisings under our Environment Agency waste carrier registration, and rakes the site down before leaving.
