Cwmbran was planned as a new town, with estates built around open green spaces and tree-lined avenues, and wooded hills rising behind. Trees planted decades ago have grown up alongside the houses, and some now need to come down. We carry out tree felling in Cwmbran safely, taking trees down whole or in sections.
The usual reasons are dead or diseased wood, a lean that has got worse, storm damage, or a conifer that has simply grown too big. Describe the tree and we will arrange a visit to look at it.
The estates of Cwmbran were laid out with gardens of fairly even size, and a tree that looked modest when the houses were new can now overshadow a whole row. Conifers, hedges that were left to climb, and ornamental trees close to walls are the most common jobs. In a modest garden there is rarely room to drop a tree whole. We look at each one individually before suggesting how it should come down.
So we usually climb and dismantle it, passing each section down on a rope rather than letting it fall. That keeps fences, sheds and neighbouring conservatories safe, and it keeps the lawn intact. We will talk through the method on site, so you know how the job will go before it begins. Where a tree leans over a path or an avenue, we also think about passers-by and keep the area marked off while we work, so the job stays calm and controlled from start to finish.
Trees on open green space or on land that is not yours are not ours to fell, so we confirm who owns the tree before anything else. Where a tree is on your property, we still check with the council whether a Tree Preservation Order or conservation area applies, because that decides whether permission is needed. We would rather ask these questions at the start than discover a problem once the work is half done.
The wooded hills behind Cwmbran mean some gardens back directly onto woodland, where ownership and boundaries can be less obvious. Tell us roughly where you are and we will help work it out. We also cover Llantarnam, Pontnewydd, Croesyceiliog, Henllys and Pontypool, so a short drive is not a problem. If you are not sure whether a tree is yours to remove, ask us before you decide anything.
Once a tree is down in your Cwmbran garden we log the timber and take away the green waste. You can have the stump cut low or ground out by arrangement, which matters if you are planning a patio, a shed base or fresh turf. If you would like some of the logs kept for burning, let us know beforehand and we will leave them stacked.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Cwmbran.
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.

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 →Not unless you or the owner has permission to do so. Trees on shared or public land usually belong to the council or a housing body. We can tell you who to contact, and we only work on trees you have authority over.
Yes, conifers are a very common job. We usually take them down in sections and can remove the stump or cut it low. We also check whether any protection applies before booking, though ordinary garden conifers often have none.
We work to avoid that. Sectional dismantling lets us lower the wood under control, and we protect the ground where needed. If the access is tight, we will say so honestly beforehand and explain how we plan to deal with it.
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will come back to you, or call 07766 919630 if it is urgent.
