Treescapes Garden Services is a family-run tree surgeon for Shefford, based in Lower Stondon, under 10 minutes away.

The Treescapes yard is on Station Road in Lower Stondon. From there, we reach any street in town in under 10 minutes. That takes in the High Street, the older homes on Northbridge Street and Southbridge Street, and the roads out along Hitchin Road, Stanford Road and Bedford Road.

It depends on how you hold your home. We check it with you before we quote, so nothing stalls once a date is booked.
There are four common ways to hold a home in Shefford. Open the one that fits yours.
If you own your home, the main check is with Central Bedfordshire Council. Part of the town is a conservation area. There, you give the council six weeks' notice before work on a tree with a trunk over 7.5cm across at 1.5m high.
We check this and the list of protected trees for you, and our step-by-step guide to tree permission covers the rest.
New-build trees are usually young, so they often need shaping more than removing. A builder's planting is often covered by a planning rule for five years, and a tree taken out in that time may need replacing.
We help you check this and your deeds before any cut, so your young tree is shaped and kept.
As a shared owner, your lease sets out what you can do in the garden. Some leases ask for your housing association's OK first.
The Leasehold Advisory Service guide to shared ownership leases (opens in a new tab) explains what to check. You can forward our written quote straight to your housing association.
If you rent, tree work is usually your landlord's job, and any lasting change should be agreed in writing first. Our free written quote gives your landlord a clear job and a clear price to agree.
We check who needs to say yes before we quote.
Free, no obligation, and usually with you within 24 hours.
Joe, our qualified arborist, leads the tree work on every job. The same team can sort the rest of the garden while we are there.
For tree surgery in Shefford, that means crown reductions, thinning, pruning, felling and stump grinding.
In the garden, we trim hedges, clear overgrowth and fit fencing. On a new-build plot, that might be a new lawn laid or sown alongside a first hedge cut, all from one visit and one quote.
We price every job after a free look at your tree.

The usual question
Most people ask whether they can cut a young tree back.
The question that saves money
What do you want that tree to look like in ten years?
The RHS advises shaping a young tree over its first four to five years. Good early pruning avoids bigger work later.
On a newer estate, that window is often now. If a young tree has died, we can help you plant a replacement in the right spot, which also keeps you on the right side of a five-year condition.
