Tree Surgeon in Knutsford

Mature trees deserve careful hands

Knutsford's tree stock is something special — grand old beeches, limes and cedars shading period townhouses, and gardens that have been maturing since long before Tatton Park's gates opened to visitors. Trees like these shouldn't just be "cut back"; they should be shaped and managed by someone who understands how they'll respond, so they stay healthy and handsome for the next fifty years too.

Crown reduction and thinning is a real skill — done well, you keep the tree's natural shape while letting in light and taking weight off tired limbs. Done badly, you get an ugly, stressed tree that regrows worse than before. We do it well, and we're happy to talk you through exactly what we'd take and why before a saw comes out.

Conservation areas — we'll handle the paperwork side

Much of central Knutsford sits within a conservation area, and many of its finest trees are protected. That means Cheshire East Council usually needs six weeks' notice before work on them. It sounds like a headache, but it isn't when you've done it before — we'll help you check whether your tree is covered and point the notification in the right direction as part of the quote.
