Tree Surgery & Arborist Services in Harlow, Essex
Lumberjack Tree Services provides professional tree surgery to homes and properties across Harlow and the surrounding villages on the Essex and Hertfordshire border. Based in Great Leighs, we cover the Harlow area as part of our regular working patch and are well placed to respond quickly to enquiries across the town and surrounding countryside.
Harlow is a post-war New Town with a distinctive character. When it was designed in the late 1940s, green space was deliberately built into the layout with green wedges, parks and tree-lined avenues running through the residential areas. Decades on, those trees are now mature and many require professional management. Alongside the planned areas of the town, Old Harlow to the north east retains a genuine village character with Victorian and listed properties and long-established gardens.
We work across all parts of Harlow and the surrounding villages, from tree work in the densely planted residential neighbourhoods to larger rural jobs on properties in Matching, Sheering and the Hertfordshire border villages.

Domestic Tree Surgery in Harlow
Harlow's residential areas have a particularly varied relationship with trees. The town's original New Town design incorporated significant tree planting throughout the residential neighbourhoods and along the green wedges. Many of those trees are now large and mature and require proper management to keep them safe and well-shaped. In the older parts of town around Old Harlow, trees in Victorian and period gardens have often been growing for a century or more.
Newer developments such as Church Langley and Newhall have younger landscaping that benefits from early management. In the attractive villages surrounding the town, including Matching Tye, Roydon, Sheering and Hunsdon on the Hertfordshire side, properties range from period cottages and farmhouses to larger country homes with substantial grounds.
Domestic tree work we carry out in and around Harlow includes:
- Tree felling and removal on all plot sizes
- Crown reduction of mature New Town and period garden trees
- Hedge trimming and formal shaping
- Pollarding for long-term size management
- Crown lifting for clearance over paths, driveways and outbuildings
- 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.

Tree & Hedge Removal
Safe and controlled removal of trees and hedges of all sizes. Old Harlow has a number of listed and conservation area properties and Tree Preservation Orders apply across parts of the town and surrounding villages. We check the legal position before any work begins and advise you clearly on what is required.
Hedge Trimming
Regular trimming keeps hedges healthy and well maintained. We deliver a clean level finish across all hedge types. In demand across the larger properties in the rural villages surrounding Harlow including Matching, Sheering, Roydon and the Hertfordshire border villages to the west of town.
Tree Reduction
Crown reduction is one of the most common jobs in Harlow given the age of many of the trees planted when the New Town was built. We prune back to a suitable growth point, reducing the overall size while preserving the health and structure of the tree for the long term.
Pollarding
Removal of upper branches to create a dense manageable crown. Useful across Harlow's residential areas where street and garden trees have grown significantly over the decades since the town was built and now need to be brought back within practical limits.
Crown Thinning & Lifting
Crown thinning allows more light through the canopy while crown lifting creates clearance at the base. Both are regularly needed in Harlow where the large mature trees in the green wedges and residential areas can shade gardens significantly and create clearance issues over paths and driveways.
Site Clearance
Full clearance of overgrown land and development plots in and around Harlow. We handle tree felling, stump grinding and scrub clearance from start to finish. Suitable for landowners and developers working on plots across west Essex and the Hertfordshire border area.

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."
