We handle diseased or storm-damaged trees, nuisance specimens and full clearance for development projects, with waste licensed removal and optional stump grinding.
Why Choose us for Tree Removal?
Based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire Trees understands local soils, species and council rules — fast attendance for urgent or planned removals.
All work is carried out by NPTC-qualified operatives, with Arboricultural Association membership, public liability cover and formal risk assessments on every job.
We manage the full process: survey, safe sectional removal, licensed waste disposal and optional stump grinding so your site is left ready.
How It Works
1. Site survey & risk assessment
A qualified arborist surveys the tree, assesses health, access and hazards, and produces a clear plan with any council permit requirements noted.
2. Controlled dismantling
Trees are removed section by section using professional rigging and lowering techniques so buildings, garden features and neighbouring trees stay protected.
3. Clearance & optional follow-up
We remove arisings under our licensed waste carrier status, tidy the site and can follow up with stump grinding or planting advice if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and process.
Sectional dismantling is used when there isn’t safe space to fell a tree in one piece — for example near houses, garages, telegraph poles or dense planting. The tree is removed in small, controlled sections using rigging and lowering to protect surrounding structures.
If the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or is in a conservation area you usually need consent from the local council. Hertfordshire Trees will identify any restrictions during the free site survey and advise on submitting a tree work application if needed.
Yes. We plan removals with specific protection for buildings and neighbouring property, using sectional removal and professional rigging. Where neighbour access is required we’ll advise on the best approach and liaise with you to reduce disruption.
We remove all arisings and dispose of waste under our licensed waste carrier status. Timber can be left for customer collection, converted to logs by arrangement, or taken away and recycled depending on your preference.
Yes. Stump grinding is available as an optional follow-up service to remove trip hazards and free up space for turfing or landscaping. We include stump work in the written quote so you know exactly what’s involved.
