Tree Surgery in Knutsford
Stockport Tree Surgeons covers Knutsford with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Knutsford combines a historic town centre with large rural properties and farmland all around it. Tatton Park’s parkland sits on the edge of town, and many private gardens and estates share the same kind of mature oak, beech, lime and chestnut.
Our teams carry out crown reductions, deadwooding, removals, hedge work and stump grinding in Knutsford and the villages around it, including Mobberley, High Legh and Over Peover.

Town Gardens and Rural Estates
In the older streets around the town centre, gardens are narrower and trees are often close to listed buildings and boundary walls. Sectional dismantling and careful rigging are the norm here, and many trees are protected by conservation area status.
On rural properties outside the town, work is more about scale: long hedgerows, field-boundary oaks, paddock trees and driveways lined with limes or beech. We plan larger jobs so they’re done efficiently, with timber and brash dealt with how you want it.
Tatton Park and Knutsford’s Conservation Areas
Tatton Park sits right on the edge of town, with 1,000 acres of deer park managed by Cheshire East Council for the National Trust. The same mature oak, beech, lime and chestnut grow in the older gardens and estates around it.
Knutsford has four conservation areas on Cheshire East’s list: Knutsford itself, Cross Town, Legh Road and St John’s, with Mobberley and Lower Peover nearby. Legh Road is known for its striking early-20th-century houses and large gardens, and its trees are a big part of that character.
Inside a conservation area, trees with a trunk more than 75mm across at 1.5m high need six weeks’ notice to Cheshire East before any work. Trees with a TPO need consent. Rural hedgerows can also be protected under the Hedgerows Regulations, which require the council to be notified before most countryside hedgerows are removed.

Tree Surgery in Knutsford: Common Questions
Do you work on rural properties and farms around Knutsford?
Yes — field boundary trees, hedgerows, driveway avenues and paddock trees, as well as garden work.
Can you leave the timber for firewood?
Yes. We can cut logs to length and stack them wherever you’d like.
Is Legh Road in a conservation area?
Yes. Legh Road is one of Knutsford’s four conservation areas, along with Knutsford town centre, Cross Town and St John’s. Trees there need six weeks’ notice to Cheshire East before work.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Knutsford?
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.
