Tree Work in Altrincham
Altrincham is around six miles south of our Stretford base, a straight run down the A56, so getting over for a quote is quick. It is a market town with serious trees: the avenues that climb from the town centre towards The Downs and the Bowdon border were planted up when the villas were built, and the beeches, limes and cedars standing over those gardens today are some of the biggest trees we work on anywhere.
The pattern of the town sets the pattern of the work. Victorian and Edwardian houses came with gardens planted for the next century, and plenty of those trees are now full size and too close to something: a roof, a neighbour, a garage that was not there in 1900. Oldfield Brow, laid out between the wars near the Bridgewater Canal and the Dunham Massey side of town, has a more open feel with parkland trees never far away, while towards Timperley and Broadheath the plots are more modest. Around the town centre there are flats with communal grounds, where the trees and hedges belong to everyone and nobody at once.
Trafford Council looks after tree protection in Altrincham, and it matters more here than in most places. The Downs, Old Market Place, Goose Green and Stamford New Road are all conservation areas, with Bowdon, The Devisdale and Ashley Heath right next door, and Tree Preservation Orders are common on the bigger specimens. Before we quote, we check if your tree is protected, and if it is we handle the council paperwork with you. Stamford Park and John Leigh Park set the tone: this is a town that takes its trees seriously, and so do we.
Around six miles from our Stretford base, covering The Downs, Bowdon, Oldfield Brow, Broadheath, Timperley and the rest of Altrincham (WA14).

Altrincham FAQs
Six miles or so. We are tree surgeons based in Stretford, M32, and Altrincham is a straight run down the A56, so a site visit is easy to fit in. You deal with Tim and a small local crew from first call to final sweep up, not a call centre.
Get in touch with a rough idea of the job and we respond within 24 hours. Once we have seen the trees, you get a free written quote within 48 hours, itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. If a tree turns out to be protected, we flag it at the same visit and explain what the council needs.
All of WA14: the town centre, The Downs, the Bowdon border, Oldfield Brow, Broadheath and Timperley, and across to Hale and Ashley Heath. If you are just outside, out towards Dunham or up to Sale, ask anyway, it is all close to us.
