Tree work in Evesham
Evesham is orchard country, and a lot of local tree work reflects that: old fruit trees past their best, overgrown plum and apple trees, and windbreak hedges left from market-garden days. Gardens near the Avon also see willows and alders loosened after flooding. Wychavon District Council handles protected trees and says it has more than 450 Tree Preservation Orders across the district, so check before felling. The firms below cover WR11 and the surrounding Vale villages.
- Old orchard trees can often be saved with renovation pruning over two or three winters rather than removed.
- Former market-garden plots often have tall poplar or leylandii windbreaks that now shade neighbouring gardens.
- Market-garden plots on the edge of town often have tall poplar windbreaks. Get older ones near houses inspected, as poplars can become brittle with age.

Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area notices in Evesham are handled by Wychavon District Council. Check before any felling or major pruning. A good tree surgeon will check for you, but the legal responsibility sits with the owner. Trees beside public roads are the responsibility of Worcestershire County Council as highway authority. See the council's protected trees page. Our guide to TPOs and conservation areas explains how applications work.

Questions about tree surgeons in Evesham
How many tree surgeons cover Evesham?
6 tree surgery firms cover Evesham in our directory. 1 of them advertises 24-hour emergency callouts. Each listing shows the services the firm offers and a direct phone number.
Which tree surgeons in Evesham offer 24/7 emergency callouts?
Jack's Trees & Hedges advertises 24-hour emergency callouts on its own website. Confirm they can come out when you call. If a tree is on a road or power line, call 999 or 105 first.
Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Evesham?
Usually only if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, stands in a conservation area, or is covered by a planning condition. In Evesham these are handled by Wychavon District Council. A TPO tree needs consent, and a conservation area tree needs six weeks' written notice. Nesting birds and bats are also protected by law.
Can old fruit trees in Evesham be saved instead of felled?
Often, yes. Old apple and pear trees can usually be brought back with renovation pruning over two or three winters, while plums are pruned in spring or summer. See our orchard restoration guide.
How to choose a tree surgeon
- Insurance: ask to see a public liability certificate (the Arboricultural Association recommends at least £5m), and employers' liability, which is a legal requirement if they have staff.
- Qualifications: chainsaw and climbing work should be done by people holding NPTC (City & Guilds) or Lantra certificates. Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status is a stronger check.
- A written quote: it should say exactly what will be cut, whether the stump is ground out, and whether waste and logs are taken away.
- Standards: ask whether the work will follow BS 3998, the British Standard for tree work.
- Protected trees: a good firm will check for a TPO or conservation area and can make the application. See our TPO guide.
