Northwood's tree-lined streets — many laid out during the early 20th-century Metroland era and now protected within the Northwood Conservation Area — sit on heavy London Clay. This soil expands and shrinks with the seasons, which can affect root stability and makes correct pruning and crown management especially important on established garden trees.
Parts of Northwood fall within designated conservation areas, so trees here are more likely to be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Branch Walkers checks TPO status and, where needed, manages the application with Hillingdon Council before any felling or major pruning begins.
We also keep watch for ash dieback, a disease now widespread across the UK that can make affected ash trees brittle and unsafe: a common reason for emergency call-outs from Northwood homeowners.

Tree Surgery in Northwood: Common Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Northwood?
It varies with the tree's size, species, access and whether the stump needs removing too. We assess each Northwood property in person and provide a free, written quote with no obligation.
Do I need permission to remove or prune a tree in Northwood?
If it's protected by a TPO or sits within one of Northwood's conservation areas, yes — council consent is required first. We manage that TPO application process for you.
What's the best time of year to prune trees?
The dormant window — late autumn to winter — suits most deciduous trees best, though it depends on species and condition. We'll advise the right timing once we've seen your tree in Northwood.
Do you offer emergency tree removal in Northwood?
Yes. If a storm has brought a tree down or a limb has split, call 0800 043 2008 and we'll get a qualified team out to make the site safe as soon as we can.
Are you fully insured and qualified?
Yes. NPTC qualifications, BS3889 working standards, and £5 million Public Liability plus £10 million Employers Liability insurance are all standard across our team.
How quickly can I get a quote in Northwood?
Our Harefield base is close by, so we can usually get a site visit and free quote arranged within a few days — faster if it's urgent.
