Local to Great Missenden
Great Missenden is around 10–15 minutes from our Amersham yard and a normal working area for us. The village conservation area, the rural properties spread out into the Chilterns AONB, and the surrounding hamlets (Little Kingshill, Little Missenden, Prestwood edge) are all part of our regular round.
Site visits in HP16 are typically within a few working days. Emergencies (fallen trees, storm damage, immediate risk) prioritised.
HP16 stock ranges from listed timber-framed cottages in the village centre, to Victorian and inter-war houses on the roads out, to rural properties on large plots with veteran trees and ancient hedgerows. The Chilterns AONB status means additional planning sensitivity for many properties.
Common requests are crown reductions on veteran oaks and beeches, careful management of ancient hedgerows (laying and coppicing rather than flat-topping), TPO and conservation area applications, storm-damaged limb removal, and stump grinding after removal.

View service
Ground below surface level so you can reclaim the space — lawn, patio, driveway, planting bed or fence line — without a stump in the way and without the roots ripping up whatever comes next.

Fallen, split, hung-up or leaning trees made safe quickly — with a local, fully qualified team that turns up, works cleanly and clears the site before we leave.
View service
Repeat pruning cycles that keep large trees at a manageable height and volume for decades — without repeatedly removing and replanting mature amenity trees.

View service
New fence lines and fresh turf to finish the garden properly — either after tree work has cleared the ground, or as a standalone rebuild of tired, sagging or bare boundaries.

Common issues in Great Missenden
Property age, tree stock, soil and climate all shape the work here. These are the things we see most often across HP16.
The Chilterns is beech country and many HP16 properties have veteran or near-veteran beech, oak and yew. Aggressive reduction destabilises these trees; conservative, staged works over multiple years preserves them.
Rural boundaries in HP16 often include ancient hedgerows with hazel, blackthorn, hawthorn, field maple and holly. These need laying or coppicing on rotation rather than being cut flat like a garden hedge.
Great Missenden sits in the Chilterns AONB with a village conservation area on top. Cutting first and asking later can trigger enforcement — we check status and handle paperwork either way.
Narrow lanes with no passing places and awkward parking are normal in HP16. We plan access and traffic management before turning up.
Beech is shallow-rooted and fails in wet winter storms. Split unions, hung-up limbs and windblown trees are all things we deal with across HP16 through the storm season.
Our Process
A quick chat on 07777 722212 (or a message with a photo) is usually enough to tell you whether it's straightforward, whether it's likely to need council paperwork, and roughly what a site visit will involve. No pressure, no automated call centre.
We come out to look at the tree, the access, the drop zones, overhead lines, parking and anything sensitive nearby. On protected trees we photograph the condition and note the works needed for the application.
You get a clear written price — fixed for the job, or a day rate if that suits the work better — with the method, waste plan and timing spelled out. No 'from £X' figures and no surprises on the invoice.
We agree a date that works for you and, where the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area, we prepare and submit the application or 5-day notification on your behalf as standard.
The crew arrives on time, protects the ground and beds, uses ropes and rigging where needed, chips and removes all arisings under our Environment Agency waste carrier registration, and rakes the site down before leaving.
