Protected trees need checking first
A Tree Preservation Order can limit what work can be done. Working on a protected tree without permission can mean a fine, so it is worth checking before anything starts.
Qualified, insured local tree surgeons for every kind of tree work, from a light prune to a full removal. One trusted family team.
Just mention it when you request your free quote. Available on qualifying work.
A tree surgeon, also called an arborist, is trained to care for, prune, and safely remove trees. We keep trees healthy, safe, and the right size, and take them down when they have to go.
It is skilled work, often done high up with specialist kit, and it can be risky in the wrong hands. Our team is NPTC and Lantra qualified and fully insured, so the job is done safely and well.
We work across North Herts and Central Beds, on everything from a single garden tree to bigger jobs. Whatever your tree needs, we can help.
When to call us
Most people call us when a tree is getting too big, blocking light, or starting to look unsafe. It is also worth getting advice after bad weather, or when a tree is close to buildings, wires or boundaries.
If you are unsure whether a tree needs pruning, reducing, removing or simply checking over, our team can advise on the safest and most suitable option.
Get honest advice from a qualified, insured local team before any work starts.
Tree surgery services
We cover the full range of tree work. Here is where to find the detail on each.
We make a large tree smaller while keeping its shape and health, a good option when a tree is overwhelming a garden.
Reducing a large tree
We thin a dense crown to let in light, or lift it by removing lower branches for clearance.
Thinning or lifting the crown
We prune trees to keep them healthy, safe, and in good shape.
Regular pruning and shaping
When a tree has to come down, we remove it safely and cleanly, with minimal disruption.
Safe tree felling
Left with a stump after a tree comes down? We grind it out below ground level.
Removing the stump too
For storm damage or a dangerous tree that cannot wait, we offer emergency tree work.
Emergency tree workNeed pollarding? We also offer pollarding, a way of controlling a tree's height and spread for strong, manageable new growth. Just ask if that is what you need.
Tree permissions
Sometimes, yes. Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Many older areas are conservation areas too, where you need the council's permission before any work.

EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Posted on Google Pauline DunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time I have used this company. First was to completely remove a conifer tree , and yesterday , to trim back some willow trees at the back of the garden. From start to finish this company was excellent. From coming out to quote and then when they came out to actually do the job. They arrived at agreed time . We're excellent at keeping everywhere clean and tidy .Everything had to go through my kitchen as there is no access through my garden, also the trees were actually on school premises with a large , high wire fence so that made it extremely difficult for the team . Extremely happy with all the did .I would definitely use this company again .Posted on Google First PlaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Darren and the Treescapes team have been fantastic. On time and did an excellent job. They took off 25% off some of the bigger trees and did away with a lot of the dead wood. I can highly recommend to anyone in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire area looking for tree surgery.Posted on Google Jake MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great work, used a couple of times now and will continue to do so!Posted on Google Abigail TullTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Definitely recommend Darren and his team. Communication was great, popped over to give a very competitive quote and came the next week to trim the trees. Lovely job, they look great, thank you!Posted on Google simon mattickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted that we booked Darren and his team to do some work for us. From my initial call to him, the service we received was friendly, helpful - giving us advise from his 30 plus years of experience - and also every professional. In addition, having made an initial site visit, Darren was able to book us in for a few hours of work a couple of days later. The work included pruning some trees and some bushes, taking out and replacing some other bushes/plants with multi purpose compost added, edging the front beds and laying bark chippings on them, plus applying a top dressing to the bed in the rear garden. They cleared up all the waste and took it away, too. All at what we considered to be a reasonable price. Darren was also flexible and agreed to prune a couple of trees and a bush in our neighbours garden. They were also very pleased with the work undertaken. In summary, we can thorougly recommend Treescapes Garden Services and they will have repeat business from ourselves and our neighbours in due course.Posted on Google Davina FrameTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Clear tree surgery pricing
The cost depends on the job, so we give you a fixed price after a free site visit. The main factors are the size and number of trees, the type of work, and how easy the tree is to reach.
A small prune is a quick job. A large removal with tricky access is a much bigger one, so the two are priced very differently. Whether the waste needs taking away also affects the price. We go through it all with you so it is clear from the start.
We are upfront about money. The price we quote is the full price, with nothing added at the end. The site visit and quote are free, with no obligation.
