Planning tree surgery in Wilmslow
Tree surgery in Wilmslow comes with one extra step most towns don't need: checking the paperwork first. A lot of the town's mature oaks, beeches and limes sit inside conservation areas or carry Tree Preservation Orders, so before anything is cut we check the tree's status with Cheshire East and, where consent is needed, the work is specified and submitted properly — pruning a protected tree without it is an offence, and it's the homeowner who carries the risk. The work itself is classic leafy-Cheshire: crown lifting over long drives so vehicles stop brushing branches, reducing storm-damaged limbs over garages and garden rooms, cutting back boundary trees that overhang a neighbour's plot, and taking out the odd failed or dangerous tree. Everything is dropped, chipped and cleared tidily — these are gardens where you can't just let limbs fall.

My Wilmslow tree might have a Tree Preservation Order — can you still work on it?
Usually yes, but the right way round: we check the tree's status with Cheshire East first, and if it's protected or in a conservation area the work gets specified and the proper notice or application goes in before anything is cut. It adds a little lead time, but it keeps you on the right side of the rules — unauthorised work on a protected tree can mean a substantial fine.
Can you take branches back that overhang from a neighbouring garden?
Often, yes — overhanging growth can generally be cut back to the boundary, but in Wilmslow we still check whether the tree is protected before touching it, and it's always better to agree it with the neighbour first. Send photos from your side showing the overhang and we'll tell you honestly what can be done and whether consent is needed.
Is there a wrong time of year to have our Wilmslow trees pruned?
There can be. We avoid heavy work on trees in active bird-nesting season, roughly March to August, and some species are best pruned when dormant in winter. If a limb is storm-damaged or dangerous we'll deal with it whenever it happens, but for planned reductions we'll suggest the right window for the tree.
What happens to all the branches and mess afterwards?
It all goes. On the tidy Wilmslow gardens we work in you can't just leave limbs where they fall, so everything is lowered carefully, chipped on site and cleared, with logs left stacked if you'd like them for a wood burner. We rake down and leave the lawn and drive as we found them.
The limbs over our drive keep catching delivery vans — can you just lift the canopy?
Yes, a crown lift is exactly that — removing the lower branches to give clearance over a drive or path while keeping the tree's shape and health. It's one of our most common Wilmslow jobs on the long gravel drives. If the tree's protected we check its status with Cheshire East first, but a sensible lift is usually fine.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Two or three photos that show the whole job and the access are normally enough for a firm price. Larger or access-sensitive work may need a short visit first, and we will say so.

Questions people ask about tree surgery in Wilmslow
How much does tree removal cost in Wilmslow?
With us, tree work starts from £125, and removing a garden tree is priced from a few photos before anything is booked. As a UK guide, felling a medium tree costs £400 to £1,000, with large or awkward trees costing more.
How much does tree pruning cost?
A pruning visit starts from £125 with us, and reduction work is priced from a few photos. As a UK guide, a crown reduction on a larger tree costs about £350 to £1,200, depending on height, spread and access.
When is the best time to prune trees?
Late autumn to late winter for most trees, while they are dormant. Cherries and plums are the exception: prune them in summer to avoid silver leaf disease. Avoid heavy work between March and August where birds may be nesting.
Can I cut branches overhanging from my neighbour's tree?
Usually, yes, back to your boundary line but not beyond it, and not without consent or notice if the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area. The cuttings belong to the tree's owner, so offer them back rather than throwing them over.
