What our tree surgeon covers
A qualified, family run tree surgery team covering pruning, removal, stump grinding and everything in between, for homes across Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns.
One call for the whole job
Pruning, removal, stump grinding or a mix of all three, we scope the whole job in one visit instead of sending you to a different specialist.
Honest recommendations
If a tree can be safely pruned rather than removed, we say so. We will never recommend work that is not genuinely needed just to increase the quote.
TPO and conservation area advice
Many Buckinghamshire gardens sit inside conservation areas or hold protected trees. We check this before work is agreed, since the fine falls on the homeowner.
Work to BS3998 standard
All tree work is carried out in line with British Standard tree work recommendations, whatever the size or type of job, domestic or commercial.
Site left clean
We clear all timber, branches and green waste as standard, so your garden is left tidy on completion rather than needing a second clean-up visit.
What tree surgeon typically costs
As a general tree surgeon we handle a wide range of jobs, so these are our published starting prices for each type of work. Actual cost depends on access, tree size and species, proximity to buildings, TPO or conservation area consent, and waste volume.
| Job | From | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Pruning or crown work, single tree | £500 | Quoted after site visit |
| Tree removal | £750 | Quoted after site visit |
| Stump removal | £150 | Quoted after site visit |
Protected trees, TPOs and conservation areas
Many trees across Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, or sit within a conservation area. Carrying out work on a protected tree without the council's consent is an offence, and the liability falls on the tree owner, not the contractor.
Before any work starts we check whether a tree is protected, prepare the council application on your behalf where consent is needed, and carry out the work to the specification the council approves. It is one less thing for you to worry about, and it keeps you the right side of the rules.
Three steps to a tidy garden
Tell us what you need
Describe the tree or trees, the issue and what you are hoping to achieve, whether that is pruning, removal, or something else.
Site visit and written quote
We carry out a free site visit to assess the job and check for any TPO or conservation area status, then follow up with a written, no-obligation quote.
Work carried out and site cleared
Our team completes the agreed work to BS3998 standard and clears all timber, branches and waste before leaving.
What our customers say
Ashton and Adam were really helpful and did a great job of clearing dead wood and scrub out of our copse.
We have used QHA a number of times in recent years and have always been very satisfied by the quality and value of their work. Most recently, a few weeks ago we had a day's work done by two of Ben's staff on the most miserable of wet days.
Faultless experience from start to finish. The price they quoted was the best of any company I spoke to, and significantly better than some.
