Tree Work in Chorlton
Chorlton is about two miles from our Stretford base, straight through Firswood, so it is one of the quickest patches we cover. The suburb grew fast in the late Victorian and Edwardian years and its trees grew with it: the limes, sycamores and horse chestnuts planted when the houses were new are now fully mature, and many stand taller than the villas beside them. Handsome trees, but big ones, and in Chorlton they often grow in gardens you can only reach through the house or down a narrow rear entry.
The council side matters more here than in most places we work. Chorlton belongs to the city of Manchester, not Trafford, so Tree Preservation Order checks go to Manchester City Council, and two conservation areas sit exactly where the biggest trees are: Chorlton Green and Chorltonville. Inside those areas, any tree with a trunk wider than 75mm at 1.5m up needs six weeks’ written notice to the council before work starts. We run the checks and handle the paperwork with you on every job, as part of the quote rather than an extra.
At its southern end Chorlton runs out into the Mersey Valley: Chorlton Ees and Ivy Green nature reserve, the river bank and Chorlton Water Park. Gardens backing onto that open floodplain take real wind, and the damp ground suits fast, brittle growers like willow and poplar, which is where storm damage in M21 tends to happen.
Around two miles from our Stretford base, covering Chorlton Green, Chorltonville, Beech Road, Barlow Moor, Chorlton Park and the rest of Chorlton (M21).

Chorlton FAQs
About two miles. We are based in Stretford, M32, and come into Chorlton through Firswood, so a visit to look at a tree is a short hop rather than a day out. We respond to every enquiry within 24 hours and you get a written quote within 48 hours.
A visit to look at the tree, a written price, and the council legwork. Much of Chorlton sits inside the Chorlton Green or Chorltonville conservation areas or carries TPOs, so we check the tree’s status with Manchester City Council as standard and handle any notice or application with you. The quote itself is free.
All of M21: Chorlton Green, Beech Road, Chorltonville, Barlow Moor and the Chorlton Park estates down towards the Mersey, plus Firswood and Whalley Range on the borders. Stretford, Sale and the rest of south Manchester are covered from the same base.
