Tree work in Worcester

Worcester's tree work is shaped by the Severn and by age. The older suburbs, like Barbourne and St John's, have big limes, beeches and oaks that now overhang houses and roads. Gardens near the river deal with flood-soaked roots and leaning willows. Much of the city centre is in conservation areas, so check with Worcester City Council before any felling. The firms below cover WR1 to WR5, and those marked 24/7 advertise out-of-hours callouts, including after storms.

  • Mature street and garden trees in the Victorian and Edwardian suburbs often need crown reduction rather than felling, which matters if they're protected.
  • Riverside properties along the Severn see willow and alder failures after floods, when waterlogged ground loosens the roots.
  • Ash dieback is widespread in Worcestershire, so dead or dying ash near paths, roads or buildings is one of the most common jobs.

Protected trees in Worcester

Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area notices in Worcester are handled by Worcester City 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. Our guide to TPOs and conservation areas explains how applications work.

Postcodes covered on this page: WR1, WR2, WR3, WR4, WR5.

Questions about tree surgeons in Worcester

Which tree surgeons in Worcester offer 24/7 emergency callouts?

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 Worcester?

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 Worcester these are handled by Worcester City 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.

Who deals with fallen trees near the River Severn in Worcester?

Trees on your own land are your responsibility. Trees on riverside paths, parks and public open space are usually the city council's, and trees growing in the highway verge are usually the county council's. Trees on private land beside a road belong to the landowner. In a flood, never go near the river to deal with a tree yourself.

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.
