Tree work in Stourport-on-Severn
Stourport grew up around the canal basins where the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal meets the Severn, and much of the town sits low by the water. Riverside willows, alders and poplars, flood-soaked ground and mature trees in older gardens make up a lot of the local tree work, along with hedges and conifers on the newer estates and across the river at Areley Kings. Wyre Forest District Council handles Tree Preservation Orders. The firms below work in DY13.
- After the Severn floods, check riverside trees for leaning or lifted roots before the next storm.
- Trees along the canal towpath are usually the Canal & River Trust's, so report problems to them.
- Poplars grow very quickly and can become unstable as they age, so get older ones near houses inspected.

Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Stourport-on-Severn?
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 Stourport-on-Severn these are handled by Wyre Forest 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.
What should I check after the Severn floods in Stourport?
Once the water has gone down, look at riverside trees for new leaning, cracks in the soil around the base or lifted roots. Waterlogged ground loosens roots, so get any tree that has moved checked before the next storm.
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.
