Hertfordshire sits directly on our doorstep — the county boundary is a few minutes east of Amersham, and we work a 30-mile radius from the yard, which takes in the whole of west Hertfordshire and reaches across to St Albans and Harpenden. Rickmansworth, Chorleywood, Croxley Green, Sarratt, Kings Langley, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Tring are regular postcodes for us, and the A404, A41 and M25 make almost all of them a straightforward run with a chipper and tipper.
Most Hertfordshire enquiries get a free site visit within a few working days. Because the county is so close to base, we can often slot smaller jobs — a single reduction, a hedge cut, a stump — around a larger booking in the same week. Storm damage, hung-up limbs and trees down across drives or lanes are prioritised: call 07777 722212 with a photo and you'll get a straight answer on timing.
West Hertfordshire property runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Watford and Hemel's older quarters, through 1930s Metroland semis along the Metropolitan line at Rickmansworth, Croxley and Chorleywood, to large detached plots and converted farmhouses around Sarratt, Flaunden and Chipperfield. St Albans and Berkhamsted add dense conservation-area streets with mature street and garden trees, tight side access and no rear vehicle route — which usually means sectional dismantling and hand-carrying arisings rather than dropping timber.
The work we're asked for most in Hertfordshire is crown reduction and thinning on mature oak, beech, lime and horse chestnut; deadwooding of large garden specimens overhanging patios and parking; removals where roots are lifting drives or a tree has outgrown a plot; long leylandii, laurel and beech hedge reductions on boundary lines; stump grinding ahead of turfing or replanting; and winter storm response on the exposed Chiltern ridges above Berkhamsted and Tring.
The full range of tree surgery, hedge and grounds work across WD3, WD4, WD5, HP1, HP2, HP3, HP4, AL. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Repeat pruning cycles that keep large trees at a manageable height and volume for decades — without repeatedly removing and replanting mature amenity trees.
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.
We work a 30-mile radius around Amersham, and effectively all of west and central Hertfordshire falls inside it. That means no long-distance travel loading on your quote and a realistic chance of a same-week site visit.
Three Rivers, Dacorum and St Albans districts all run extensive Tree Preservation Orders, and conservation areas in Berkhamsted, Tring, St Albans and Chorleywood add a second layer. We check a tree's status before quoting and prepare and submit the application or 5-day notice on your behalf.
The Hertfordshire Chilterns share their species mix with our home patch — beech on the chalk, oak and ash on the heavier ground, plus large ornamental cedars, limes and horse chestnuts on the bigger plots. We know how each responds to reduction and thinning.
Chippings, brash and timber are all taken away under our Environment Agency Waste Carrier registration, or logs are left cut and stacked if you want them. Nothing fly-tipped, nothing 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 WD3, WD4, WD5, HP1, HP2, HP3, HP4, AL.
Berkhamsted, St Albans and central Rickmansworth have streets of period houses with large trees on small plots and no rear access. These jobs are done from the top down with lowering ropes, ground protection over lawns and beds, and arisings hand-carried out through a side gate — planned at survey, not improvised on the day.
Hertfordshire councils protect a lot of trees, and unauthorised works to a protected tree can bring enforcement action and a fine. We establish a tree's status first, then either apply for consent or submit the conservation-area notification and wait for it before starting.
Where shrinkable clay caps the chalk, insurers and structural engineers sometimes flag mature trees near older brick properties. Where an arboricultural report exists we work to it, and phased crown reductions can often reduce water demand without removing the tree.
Roadside and boundary ash across the county has been badly hit. Dead ash becomes brittle quickly and is dangerous to climb, so it's usually taken down mechanically or in short sections early rather than left to deteriorate. We'll tell you honestly whether a tree can still be worked safely.
The high ground above Berkhamsted, Tring and Wigginton takes the brunt of winter westerlies. Split unions in old limes, hung-up beech limbs and blown-over conifer lines are routine winter callouts, and genuine risk cases go to the front of the list.
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.

Every job is priced individually on species, size, access, waste volume and whether the tree is protected. We visit for free and give a fixed written quote before any work starts. We don't publish 'from £X' figures because they'd be misleading.
Yes, as standard — we prepare and submit the application or 5-day notification to the relevant district council on your behalf. If you'd rather submit it yourself, that's fine; just tell us at quote stage.
