Local tree care
Tree care for homes in Stevenage
Stevenage lies north of our Hatfield base along the A1(M). We carry out residential tree care across the town, including Old Town, Shephall, Chells, Pin Green, St Nicholas, Broadwater, Bedwell, Symonds Green and Great Ashby.
Stevenage was designated Britain’s first post-war new town in 1946. The town was planned with neighbourhoods separated by green spaces, cycleways and parks such as Fairlands Valley, and many of the trees planted in those early decades are now large and mature.
The historic Old Town, with its high street and older properties, is a conservation area. Some trees across Stevenage are protected, so check with Stevenage Borough Council before booking tree work.
Homes and gardens in Stevenage
Most housing in Stevenage dates from the 1950s to the 1970s, laid out in neighbourhood estates with terraces, semis and smaller rear gardens. Older properties are found in Old Town, and newer estates such as Great Ashby were built from the 1990s. Many gardens are compact, so trees planted decades ago can now feel oversized.

Local issues
Common tree problems in Stevenage
Oversized trees in small gardens
Trees planted when estates were built in the 1950s to 1970s are now mature and can be too large for compact plots.
Shared boundaries
Terraced and semi-detached homes mean trees and hedges often affect neighbours. Planned pruning helps avoid disputes.
Limited access
Mid-terrace homes may have no side access, so cut material has to be carried out carefully through a passage or alleyway.
Conifer hedges
Leylandii planted for privacy can quickly outgrow small gardens and become hard to bring back into shape.
Stevenage in focus
Tree care in Britain’s first new town
When Stevenage was designated as Britain’s first new town in 1946, planners laid out self-contained neighbourhoods, each with its own shops and schools, separated by green spaces and connected by an extensive cycleway network. Trees were planted along roads, in open spaces and in residents’ gardens.
Seventy-plus years later, many of those trees are mature. In gardens built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, trees and conifers planted when the homes were new can now overhang roofs, shade compact gardens and press against fences and sheds. Pruning, cutting back and, where needed, removal and stump grinding are common jobs.
Terraced housing is widespread in Stevenage, which means access to rear gardens can be through alleyways, garages or the house. We plan how material is moved out with care for your home; the method and precautions depend on access.
Shared boundaries also mean trees and hedges often affect more than one household. Talking to neighbours before work, and agreeing what will be cut back, helps everything go smoothly.
Stevenage Old Town, with its historic high street, is the oldest part of the town and a conservation area. If your property is there, check with Stevenage Borough Council before work.
When you contact us about a Stevenage home, let us know how the rear garden is reached, what the tree or hedge is and whether it affects a neighbour. With that, we can give you a free quotation based on the agreed scope and plan the job, with every branch removed afterwards.
From Old Town to Great Ashby, every Stevenage job starts with a conversation and a free quotation, and ends with all green waste from the work removed.
