Booking tree work in East Herts and Welwyn Hatfield
Felling, crown reduction, pruning and stumps, and which council to ask before a protected tree is touched.
Tree work here is carried out by arboriculturists. The certificates are kept up to date, and the first item on the job is how the work will be done safely, not which branch comes off first.
The operations on the list
These are the jobs named on the tree surgery page.
Felling
Crown reduction and crown lifting
Re-shaping and pruning
Deadwooding
Coppicing, thinning and pollarding
Stump removal, including where a patio is about to go in
Hertford, Ware and Bengeo sit with East Herts. Welwyn Garden City sits with Welwyn Hatfield. St Albans is its own council. If a tree might be covered by a preservation order or stand in a conservation area, that conversation happens before a date is booked. A conifer screen that has shut out a Potters Bar garden, as on the Arlington project, is a different question from felling a protected oak.
