Tree surgeon in MonmouthNPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgeons covering the town and its villages — Llanfoist, Mardy, Llantilio Pertholey, Croesonen and Govilon. Tree surgery, felling, stump removal, hedge cutting, firewood and 24-hour emergency cover, all to British Standard BS3998.
Looking for a tree surgeon in Abergavenny? Hywel Jones Tree Services is a family-run team of NPTC-qualified arborists covering the whole town and its villages — Mardy, Croesonen and Llantilio Pertholey to the north, Llanfoist under the Blorenge, and out to Govilon. One team handles everything: tree surgery, felling, stump grinding, hedge cutting, seasoned firewood and a genuine 24-hour emergency line, all fully insured and to British Standard BS3998.
Few towns ask more of their trees. Abergavenny sits in the bowl of the Usk and Gavenny, ringed by three mountains — the Sugar Loaf, the Blorenge and the Skirrid — as the gateway town on the south-eastern edge of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. That makes for handsome, established gardens from Linda Vista Gardens to the avenues around Bailey Park — and for hillside trees that take the full force of the weather coming off the mountains. The A4042 runs straight from our Pontypool base, so we are here often, and quickly.
Everything from a single storm-snapped limb to clearing a site — one local, qualified team rather than three different trades:
Crown reduction, thinning, dead-wooding and safe sectional felling — including exposed hillside trees. Tree surgery in Abergavenny.
Stumps ground out below ground level, ready for turf, planting or paving. Stump removal in Abergavenny.
Garden and boundary hedges trimmed, reshaped and reduced, clippings taken away. Hedge cutting in Abergavenny.
Overgrown plots cleared, brash chipped on site with our own machine. Site clearance in Abergavenny and operated chipper service.
We also deliver seasoned hardwood firewood from the timber we recycle — useful in a town where plenty of homes still burn logs through the winter.
Because the full stack of credentials is here and verifiable: NPTC-qualified arborists, £5m public liability and £10m employer's liability insurance, and every job carried out to British Standard BS3998 — the standard Monmouthshire County Council requires for works to protected trees. The owner is on site for every job, we own all our own equipment — climbing kit, chipper, stump grinder and cherry picker (MEWP) — and the garden is left tidier than we found it. One team, every tree service, with the paperwork to back it up.
Gardens here sit beneath three mountains, and trees feel every gale that comes off them. If a tree has split, dropped a limb or come down, call 07525 855 019 any time — our 24-hour emergency tree service prioritises dangerous trees, usually the same day.
Possibly — and around here it is a two-authority question, which catches people out. Abergavenny town has a designated conservation area, where works to most trees need six weeks' written notice to Monmouthshire County Council; other trees can carry a Tree Preservation Order. But properties on the fringes towards the Sugar Loaf, or on the Llanfoist and Blorenge side, can sit inside Bannau Brycheiniog National Park — and there the National Park Authority, not the county council, is responsible for tree protection. We check which authority covers your tree as part of every free quote, then prepare and submit whatever notice or application is needed, so the work always starts on the right side of the rules. Monmouthshire's combined application form covers TPOs and conservation-area notices in one, and the town's conservation-area appraisal was updated as recently as July 2024 — so the boundaries we check against are current.
All of it, hillside to riverside. We work in the town centre and the conservation area, Mardy and Croesonen on the northern side, Llantilio Pertholey along the old Hereford Road corridor, Llanfoist across the Usk — effectively a suburb these days — and out to Govilon along the canal side. From gardens backing onto Castle Meadows and Bailey Park to smallholdings up the mountain lanes, if we can reach it by the A40, A465 or A4042, we cover it.
The character of the work shifts with the ground, too: established gardens near the town centre hold big, mature broadleaves; the newer closes around Croesonen and Mardy lean to fast-growing conifers and boundary hedges; and out on the lanes towards Govilon the trees are field-grown — taller, windier and best dismantled with ropes and a plan rather than dropped whole.
Every job is priced on the tree itself — its size, species and condition, how easy it is to reach, whether it is protected, and whether the timber and brash need taking away. Exposed or awkward trees that need rigging or a cherry picker sit at the higher end; straightforward pruning at the lower. You get a free site visit and a clear, itemised written quote before anything is agreed — and because we own all our own equipment, the price stays competitive with no hire surcharges. If you are gathering two or three quotes — always sensible — check each covers the same scope: waste removal, the stump, and any council or National Park paperwork.
The A4042 runs almost door to door from our Pontypool base. The map shows our core coverage — town, villages and the mountain lanes between. Call to confirm we reach yours.

Qualified tree surgeons in PontypoolWhat homeowners and landowners ask us most about tree work.
Yes — the whole town and the villages around it: Mardy, Llantilio Pertholey, Croesonen, Llanfoist on the Blorenge side, and out to Govilon. The A4042 runs almost door to door from our Pontypool base, so we are regularly working in the area and quotes are easy to arrange.
A gardener is right for borders, lawns and light trimming you could safely do yourself. A tree surgeon is for anything involving a chainsaw, height, or a tree's long-term health — felling, crown reduction, storm damage and large hedges. Qualified tree surgeons are trained, certificated and insured for exactly that work, which is what protects you if something goes wrong.
If the tree stands within the town's conservation area, Monmouthshire County Council must be given six weeks' written notice before work starts. Trees elsewhere can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order. We confirm the status of your tree with the council as part of every free quote and can prepare and submit the notice for you.
Good question — it changes who you apply to. Homes on the fringes towards the Sugar Loaf or Llanfoist and the Blorenge can fall inside Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, where the National Park Authority, not the county council, handles tree protection. We check which authority covers your tree before any application is made, so the paperwork always goes to the right desk.
It depends on the tree: size, species, condition, how easy it is to reach, whether it is protected and whether the waste needs removing. We give you a free site visit and a clear written quote before anything is agreed, and because we own all our own equipment the price stays competitive with no hidden extras.
Outside the main bird-nesting season wherever possible — roughly March to August — because disturbing an active nest is illegal. Late winter and early autumn suit most garden hedges. We check every hedge for nests before work and will advise the best window for the species you have.
Our emergency line runs 24 hours a day and storm-damaged trees are prioritised — usually made safe the same day. Gardens around Abergavenny sit exposed beneath the Blorenge, Sugar Loaf and Skirrid, so when the wind funnels off the hills we know calls will follow; call 07525 855 019 at any time.
Look for NPTC certificates for the chainsaw and aerial work being done, public liability insurance, and working knowledge of British Standard BS3998 — the standard Monmouthshire County Council itself requires for works to protected trees. Our team holds all three: NPTC qualifications, £5m public liability with £10m employer's liability, and BS3998 as the working method on every job.
Yes — it is one of the most common jobs we do. Tall leylandii and cypress planted decades ago now tower over many local gardens. We dismantle them in sections, lowering each piece on ropes or working from our own cherry picker (MEWP), so nothing touches the house, the greenhouse or the neighbour's fence.
Yes. Hardwood from our tree work is split, stacked and seasoned until it is ready to burn, then delivered in bulk bags, IBC cages or full loads — including to Abergavenny and the surrounding villages. See our seasoned firewood page or call to arrange a delivery.
Yes. We carry out planned tree maintenance, site clearance and vegetation management for businesses, landlords, schools and estates across the area, with method statements and risk assessments provided wherever they are required.
