The Tree Work Gerrards Cross Gardens Usually Need
Gerrards Cross has some of the finest mature trees in south Buckinghamshire, and keeping them safe takes more than a chainsaw and a ladder. We are a family run team of qualified arborists based just up the road in Amersham. From one overhanging limb to a full garden clearance, we work carefully, quote honestly and leave your property spotless.
Mature Oak and Beech
Established specimen trees need light crown reduction and deadwooding rather than heavy cutting, so they stay safe and keep their natural shape.
Tall Conifer Screens
Leylandii and thuja planted for privacy outgrow their space quickly. We bring the height and width back under control while keeping growth dense at the base.
Protected and Conservation Area Trees
A great many trees in SL9 carry a Tree Preservation Order or sit within a conservation area. We check the status before we quote and deal with the council notification for you.
Storm and Wind Damage
Split limbs, torn unions and trees leaning towards the house after a rough night. We make the site safe first, then tell you plainly if the tree can be kept.
Qualified Arborists Covering Gerrards Cross and SL9
We have worked across Gerrards Cross for years, reducing overhanging branches on tight boundary lines, bringing overgrown conifer screens back under control and dismantling failing trees in gardens with no rear access. All of our work is carried out to BS3998 by NPTC qualified staff, and we hold £10 million public liability cover. You deal with the same people from the first visit through to the final tidy up.
How We Work on Your Property
- All of our staff are DBS checked, uniformed and used to working around busy households.
- Written risk assessments and method statements are supplied before any work begins.
- Chippings, logs and arisings are taken away, or left stacked for firewood if you prefer.
- The price we quote is the price you pay, with nothing added on afterwards.

FAQs
Do I need permission before felling a tree in Gerrards Cross?
Quite possibly. Large parts of Gerrards Cross fall within conservation areas, and many individual trees carry a Tree Preservation Order. In both cases you must give Buckinghamshire Council notice before work starts. We check this for you at the site visit and submit the paperwork on your behalf.
Can you remove a large tree from a garden with no rear access?
Yes. Where a tree cannot simply be dropped, we dismantle it in sections from the top down using rigging ropes and lower each piece under control. Timber is then carried or chipped through the house side or garage. Most of the removals we carry out in Gerrards Cross are done this way.
Is there a time of year when you cannot cut hedges?
We avoid cutting nesting hedges between March and August wherever possible, as active nests are protected by law. If a hedge has to be cut during those months, we survey it for nests first and work around anything we find.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn or driveway?
No. Our grinder runs on rubber tracks and fits through a standard side gate, so it causes very little disturbance. We grind the stump to roughly 300mm below ground level, backfill the hole with the chippings or fresh topsoil and rake the area level before we leave.
How long does a full tree removal usually take?
A medium garden tree is generally down, cleared and gone within a day. Larger oaks and beeches on restricted sites can run to two or three days, particularly where every section has to be lowered by rope. We give you a realistic timescale in writing with your quote.
