Tree Surgery in Altrincham
Stockport Tree Surgeons covers Altrincham with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Altrincham and its neighbours Hale, Bowdon and Timperley have some of the finest mature trees in the South Manchester area. The Victorian and Edwardian villas of Bowdon and Hale sit in large gardens with limes, beeches, oaks and cedars that are well over a century old.
Our teams carry out crown reductions, thinning, deadwooding, careful removals and hedge work across Altrincham, Hale, Hale Barns, Bowdon, Timperley and Broadheath.

Victorian Gardens and Protected Trees
Large parts of Bowdon, Hale and central Altrincham are conservation areas, and many of the biggest trees also have TPOs. That means most significant work needs consent first, and a clear written specification of the work makes the application more straightforward.
Towards Timperley and Broadheath, gardens are smaller and the work is more about keeping trees and hedges in proportion — reductions, pruning, conifer removal and stump grinding.
Altrincham’s Conservation Areas and Dunham Massey
More than half of Trafford’s 22 conservation areas are in and around Altrincham. Bowdon, The Devisdale, The Downs, Ashley Heath, South Hale and Hale Station cover much of the villa belt, and Goose Green, Stamford New Road, Old Market Place and George Street cover the town centre. Dunham Town and Dunham Woodhouses sit beside the National Trust’s Dunham Massey estate.
In a conservation area, trees with a trunk more than 75mm across need six weeks’ notice to Trafford Council before work. Trees with a TPO need written consent. Trafford’s website lets you check whether a tree is protected.

Tree Surgery in Altrincham: Common Questions
Is my tree in Bowdon or Hale protected?
Quite possibly. Bowdon, The Devisdale, The Downs, Ashley Heath, South Hale and Hale Station are all conservation areas, and many trees have individual TPOs. Check Trafford Council’s website or ask us.
Do you cover Timperley and Hale Barns?
Yes, along with Broadheath, Bowdon and the rest of Altrincham.
How long does conservation area notice take?
Six weeks from when Trafford Council receives it. If the council doesn’t object or make a Tree Preservation Order in that time, the work can go ahead as notified.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Altrincham?
Every tree is different, so we quote each job rather than publish a price list. As a guide, a hedge cut or small ornamental prune usually starts around £150–£250, a crown reduction on a typical garden tree is often £350–£750, and a full dismantle of a large mature tree in a tight back garden can run to £1,000 or more. Stump grinding is normally £80–£200 per stump. The quote covers labour, waste removal and site clean-up, with no add-ons once the team arrives.
