Local to Chesham
Chesham sits just 10–15 minutes from our Amersham yard, and it's one of the areas we work in most often. From the older properties around the town centre and Church Street conservation area, up the hill to Waterside and Botley, out to Ashley Green and down the Chess Valley, we cover the whole HP5 postcode and know the routes and access constraints well.
Routine site visits in Chesham are typically within a few working days — usually the same week. Emergencies (a tree down after a storm, a split limb hung over a roof, damage after high winds coming up the valley) are prioritised; a phone call with a photo is the quickest route to a straight answer on timing.
Chesham has a mix of stock: Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the station, larger detached houses up the hill and along Botley Road, 1930s semis with mature front gardens, and rural properties toward Latimer and the Chess Valley with much bigger trees on the plot. Each brings different access, waste-removal and rigging considerations.
In Chesham the most common requests are crown reductions and thinning on mature ash, beech and lime; deadwooding on riverside willows and alders along the Chess; removals of overgrown leylandii and cypress boundaries; hedge cuts on long garden runs; and stump grinding after a removal ahead of new turf or planting.

View service
Regular, sensible tree care that keeps mature trees safe, healthy and in shape — before small problems turn into big ones you'd rather not pay for.

Controlled felling of larger trees where space genuinely allows — cut cleanly to the ground, brash chipped, timber removed or logged for you, site left properly tidy.
View service
Repeat pruning cycles that keep large trees at a manageable height and volume for decades — without repeatedly removing and replanting mature amenity trees.
View service
New fence lines and fresh turf to finish the garden properly — either after tree work has cleared the ground, or as a standalone rebuild of tired, sagging or bare boundaries.
View serviceWhy choose us in Chesham
Chesham is one of our most frequent postcodes because of the short drive. Short travel means faster site visits, better emergency response and easier same-week fit-in for smaller jobs.
The Old Town conservation area covers much of central Chesham. We know which trees fall under additional protections and prepare the required notification to the council on your behalf as standard.
Willows, alders and poplars along the Chess grow fast and shed limbs. We've worked on riverside plots up and down the valley and know how to reduce them safely without destabilising the tree.
All chippings and logs are removed under our Environment Agency Waste Carrier registration — nothing left behind, nothing dumped, nothing left over the fence.
Common issues in Chesham
Property age, tree stock, soil and climate all shape the work here. These are the things we see most often across HP5.
Willows, poplars, alders and ash grow quickly on the wet valley floor and can put on several metres of extension growth in a couple of seasons. Left alone, they shade whole gardens, block gutters and drop heavy limbs. Regular thinning and reduction on a 2–3 year cycle keeps them manageable.
Chesham's Old Town conservation area means any tree over 75mm needs a 5-day notification to the council before works; trees with a Tree Preservation Order need a full application. We check status before quoting and handle the paperwork.
A lot of HP5 gardens have leylandii or Lawson cypress boundary hedges that were planted for privacy 20+ years ago and are now well over legal height. We reduce them cleanly rather than butchering the face, and can advise on whether it's worth keeping them at all.
Roads like Botley, Chessmount Rise and streets running up from Waterside can involve steep drives and awkward parking for chippers and tippers. We plan access and traffic management before turning up.
Winter storms funnelling up the valley regularly bring down or split limbs across Chesham. We handle emergency call-outs across HP5 through the storm season.
Our Process
A quick chat on 07777 722212 (or a message with a photo) is usually enough to tell you whether it's straightforward, whether it's likely to need council paperwork, and roughly what a site visit will involve. No pressure, no automated call centre.
We come out to look at the tree, the access, the drop zones, overhead lines, parking and anything sensitive nearby. On protected trees we photograph the condition and note the works needed for the application.
You get a clear written price — fixed for the job, or a day rate if that suits the work better — with the method, waste plan and timing spelled out. No 'from £X' figures and no surprises on the invoice.
We agree a date that works for you and, where the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area, we prepare and submit the application or 5-day notification on your behalf as standard.
The crew arrives on time, protects the ground and beds, uses ropes and rigging where needed, chips and removes all arisings under our Environment Agency waste carrier registration, and rakes the site down before leaving.
