Chepstow sits on the River Wye at the edge of the Wye Valley National Landscape, and a lot of the ground around the town is steep and wooded. That makes tree felling here a job to plan rather than rush. We take down trees in Chepstow safely, whether that means a straight fell or careful dismantling in sections.
We deal with dead, diseased, leaning and storm-damaged trees, plus conifers and shrubs that are simply in the wrong place. Send us a few details and a photograph or two, and we will arrange a visit to see what is involved.
Period houses near the centre of Chepstow tend to have mature trees close to walls, roofs and neighbours, and the gardens can be tight or sloping. Where a tree cannot be dropped whole, we take it down piece by piece, lowering the sections under control so nothing lands on a roof, a greenhouse or a boundary wall. We look at the roots, the lean and the neighbouring structures before choosing a method.
On steeper ground the difficulty is often getting equipment and cut timber to where it needs to go. We think about access before we start, including how the timber will come back down the slope, so that nothing is left rolling around on a hillside. Narrow lanes and steps are common here, so we plan around them instead of finding out halfway through. If something cannot be done safely the way you hoped, we will say so.
Chepstow sits at the edge of the Wye Valley National Landscape, so it is always worth asking whether a tree is protected. A Tree Preservation Order or a conservation area can mean the council needs to be told, or needs to agree, before a tree is felled. We check the status first and tell you what we find, so you do not risk a problem for the sake of a quick cut.
Woodland edges are worth a conversation too. If your tree stands on the boundary or overhangs someone else's garden, talk to the neighbour early, since a tree on the line may be shared. We cover Tutshill, Mathern, Caerwent and Shirenewton as well, so tell us where the tree is and mention any overhead wires, and we will take it from there with a plan you agree first.
Once the tree is down we log the timber and remove the green waste, leaving the Chepstow garden clean. The stump can be cut low or ground out by arrangement, depending on whether you want to replant, lay a patio or just tidy the lawn. If you would like the logs left for the fire, tell us beforehand and we will stack them out of the way.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Chepstow.
Tree FellingThis tall conifer stood in a Bridgend back garden beside dark fencing and a patio, before we took it down.

Tree FellingWe felled and cut up trees in a Caerphilly back garden, chipping the branches and leaving the plot cleared.

Tree FellingWe took out trees and shrubs from a walled Cardiff back garden, leaving an open lawn next to the conservatory.
See the project →We work across South Wales. Pick your town to see how tree felling works locally.
Often you can fell a garden tree freely, but protected trees and larger amounts of timber need checks first, and this guide explains who to ask.
Read the guide →Taking a tree down should rarely be the first choice, but sometimes it is the only responsible one, and knowing which situation you are in saves worry.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.
Read the guide →Usually, yes. Slopes make the job slower and more careful, because timber has to be lowered or carried rather than dropped. We plan the access and the route for the cut wood before starting, and we will tell you if anything looks difficult.
It might be. Trees in conservation areas or under a Tree Preservation Order need the council's say-so first. We check with the council before booking, and we will not start until you know what is allowed. If it is protected, we will explain what the council needs to see.
Yes, we log the timber and remove the green waste as part of the job. If you want logs kept for a stove or fire, let us know beforehand and we will leave them stacked where you ask.
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will come back to you, or call 07766 919630 if it is urgent.
