Tree Surgeons in Urmston
Mature garden trees on the 1930s avenues, willows down by the Mersey and hedges from Flixton to Davyhulme: Urmston keeps a tree surgeon busy, and we are three miles up the road in Stretford.
Tree Work in Urmston
Urmston is the next town along from our Stretford base, around three miles door to door, and together with Flixton and Davyhulme it is one of the patches we work most. The town grew up as a railway suburb from the 1870s and filled out between the wars, so you get older terraces around the town centre and Crofts Bank, then street after street of 1930s semis running out through Davyhulme, Woodsend and Flixton. The gardens got trees when the houses got keys, and plenty of those trees are now far bigger than anybody planned for.
Down on the southern edge the ground drops into the Mersey valley. Urmston Meadows follows the river along the bottom of the town, and that damp flood plain suits willows, poplars and other fast growers: soft wooded trees that shoot up quickly and shed limbs when the weather turns. Higher up, the avenues that give Urmston its leafy look carry mature street and garden trees that mostly need sensible, regular care rather than drama.
Trafford Council is the authority here for Tree Preservation Orders, and the old village heart of Flixton is a conservation area, so some tree work in M41 needs notice or consent before a saw starts. We check the register on every quote and handle the council paperwork with you. Urmston has tree firms of its own too, so compare prices: ours is free and in writing within 48 hours of the visit, we respond to every enquiry within 24 hours, and if your tree needs nothing doing, that is the answer you will get.
Around three miles from our Stretford base, covering Urmston town centre, Flixton, Flixton village, Davyhulme, Woodsend and the rest of Urmston (M41).
