Lumberjack Tree Services provides professional tree surgery to homes and properties across Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding villages on both sides of the Hertfordshire and Essex border. Based in Great Leighs, we travel regularly to Bishop's Stortford and the area is well within our working patch.
Bishop's Stortford is a large and varied market town with a mix of period properties near the River Stort and town centre, established 1930s family homes across residential areas such as Hockerill and Thorley, and significant new development on the outskirts. Each property type brings its own tree and hedge management requirements and we have the experience to handle all of them.
From mature trees in riverside gardens to hedgerows on rural plots near the Essex border, we carry out all work to a high standard with minimum disruption and a tidy finish every time.

Domestic Tree Surgery in Bishop's Stortford
Bishop's Stortford has a wide range of residential property types. The older streets close to the town centre and Castle Park contain period houses with long-established gardens where mature trees often require careful management rather than outright removal. The 1930s residential areas of Hockerill, Rye Street and Warwick Road are home to large detached and semi-detached family homes with generous plots and established tree cover.
Newer developments on the edges of town such as Stortford Fields bring younger gardens with recently planted trees and hedges that benefit from early shaping to establish the right structure. In the surrounding villages and rural areas close to the Essex border, we regularly work on larger plots with mature oaks, hornbeams and field maples that need periodic management.
Domestic tree work we carry out in and around Bishop's Stortford includes:
- Tree felling and removal including restricted access gardens
- Crown reduction of mature trees in established plots
- Hedge trimming and formal shaping
- Pollarding for long-term tree size management
- Crown lifting for clearance over paths, driveways and fences
- Stump grinding following previous tree felling
- Log splitting and delivery from cleared timber
We protect your garden throughout the job and leave the site completely clear before we go. All green waste is removed and recycled wherever possible.

A full range of tree surgery and arborist services for domestic customers across Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding Hertfordshire and Essex border area.
Tree & Hedge Removal
Safe and controlled removal of trees and hedges of all sizes. Bishop's Stortford falls within East Hertfordshire District Council and Tree Preservation Orders apply to a number of properties across the town and surrounding area. We check the legal position before any work begins and advise you on what is required.
Hedge Trimming
Regular trimming keeps hedges healthy, tidy and within their boundaries. We deliver a clean level finish and offer formal shaping for properties with more specific landscaping requirements. In demand across the larger garden properties in Thorley, Birchanger and the rural villages close to the Essex border.
Tree Reduction
Crown reduction reduces the overall size of a tree by pruning branch tips back to a suitable growth point. Commonly needed in Bishop's Stortford where established trees in older town centre gardens have grown to overhang neighbouring properties or block light from period houses.
Pollarding
Removal of upper branches to encourage a dense manageable head of new growth. A practical long-term solution for properties across the Bishop's Stortford area where larger trees in gardens or on boundary lines need to be kept to a manageable size year on year.
Crown Thinning & Lifting
Crown thinning opens the canopy to allow more light through, while crown lifting removes lower branches to create clearance. Both are regularly needed on the mature trees common to Bishop's Stortford's older residential streets and the rural properties on the Essex side of the border.
Site Clearance
Full clearance of overgrown land and development plots in and around Bishop's Stortford. The town has seen significant residential development in recent years and we work with landowners and developers to clear plots ahead of new build projects. We handle tree felling, stump grinding and scrub clearance from start to finish.
Qualified, Insured & Experienced Across the Border
Bishop's Stortford sits right on the Hertfordshire and Essex county boundary and some parts of the town were historically in Essex before boundary changes. We work on both sides of the border regularly and understand the planning frameworks and tree legislation that apply in East Hertfordshire as well as Essex.

What Our Customers Say
"We would definitely use Lumberjack again for any future tree pruning and hedge cutting. Very impressed with their punctuality, professionalism, efficiency and hard work. Jack went through the work required on arrival, checked we were happy with the work throughout and left our whole garden area tidy with no trace of mess. The end result was a much brighter, tidier garden and two very happy customers. Would 100% recommend."
