Free written quotes before any work, always.
Caerphilly's trees grow in a proper amphitheatre: the town sits in its bowl between Caerphilly Mountain and the valley ridges, with mature trees around Morgan Jones Park (laid out in 1934), the 30-acre grounds of Wales' biggest castle, and gardens climbing the slopes on every side. We reach the town quickly via the A468 from the M4 at junction 28, or over the mountain on the A469 — and we bring every piece of paperwork the council tells residents to ask for.
Caerphilly County Borough Council publishes its own guidance on choosing an arboricultural contractor — and we built our service to pass it point by point:
If you are comparing us with anyone else locally, ask them the same four questions. We are happy to be measured against the council's checklist — it is the fairest test there is.
The complete range, from a single overgrown conifer to clearing a development site:
Crown reduction, thinning, dead-wooding and safe sectional felling on tight terraced plots and open gardens alike. Tree surgery in Caerphilly.
Stumps ground out below ground level, ready for turf, planting or paving. Stump removal in Caerphilly.
Hedges trimmed, reshaped and reduced, with every clipping taken away. Hedge cutting in Caerphilly.
Overgrown plots and commercial sites cleared, with brash chipped on site. Site clearance in Caerphilly and wood chipping service.
If a tree has come down or is threatening your home, we run a 24-hour emergency response across the borough. Call 07525 855 019 any time and we will make it safe as a priority. See our emergency call-out service.
Yes — and not just in theory. Ash dieback was found in the grounds of Caerphilly Castle in November 2024, and the council inspects its own stock of roughly 260,000 trees on a zoned regime, grading infected ash and surveying through the summer months when symptoms show. Its advice to private owners is blunt: only suitably experienced, qualified and equipped tree surgeons should fell infected ash, because the timber turns brittle and unpredictable. That is precisely the work we are certificated and equipped for. If your ash is thinning at the crown or showing blackened summer leaves, we will assess it honestly — many trees can be monitored or reduced rather than felled. Read more about diseased trees and safe felling.
Caerphilly makes it easier than most boroughs: the council's Tree Preservation Orders are published on an interactive map on DataMapWales, so you can look up your address before you plan anything. There is no conservation area in Caerphilly town centre itself — the borough's designated areas are in places such as Llanbradach, Groeswen, Draethen and Ruperra Castle & Park, where works to trees with stems over 75mm diameter at chest height need six weeks' notice to the council. We confirm all of this as part of your free quote and prepare any application for you.
The whole basin and beyond. We regularly carry out tree work in Bedwas, Trethomas and Machen along the A468, Llanbradach to the north, Abertridwr and Senghenydd up the Aber Valley, Penyrheol on the western slopes, and across to Ystrad Mynach — where the council's own planning offices sit at Penallta House. From gardens under Caerphilly Mountain to smallholdings on the ridge, if you can see the castle from your street, we cover it.
The honest answer: it depends on the tree. Size, species, condition, access, protection status and waste removal all move the price, which is why no reputable firm quotes a flat rate sight unseen — and why the council recommends getting at least two written quotes. Ours is free, itemised and no-obligation after a site visit anywhere in Caerphilly, and because we own all our own equipment — chipper, stump grinder, climbing kit and cherry picker (MEWP) — it stays competitive all year round.
From our Pontypool base, the A468 from M4 junction 28 puts us anywhere in the Caerphilly basin. The map shows our core coverage — call to confirm we reach your street.

Pontypool & Torfaen tree surgeonsWhat homeowners and businesses ask us most about tree work.
There is no honest flat rate — the cost depends on the tree's size, species and condition, how easy it is to reach, whether it is protected, and whether the timber and brash need removing. We give every customer a free site visit and a clear written quote before any work, and because we own all our own equipment the price stays competitive with no hidden extras.
Caerphilly County Borough Council's guidance for residents recommends getting at least two quotes, checking the contractor holds public liability insurance, making sure chainsaw operators are 'ticketed' (certificated), and confirming the firm is familiar with British Standard BS 3998:2010 for tree work. We meet every point: written quotes, £5m public liability cover, NPTC-certificated operators and BS3998 as our working standard on every job.
Caerphilly is one of the few boroughs with an interactive map — the council's Tree Preservation Order data is published on DataMapWales, where you can look up your address directly. We also confirm TPO and conservation-area status as part of every quote, and handle any application to the council for you.
No — there is no conservation area in Caerphilly town centre itself. The borough's designated conservation areas are in places like Llanbradach, Groeswen, Draethen and Ruperra Castle & Park. Within those areas, works to trees with stems over 75mm diameter at chest height need six weeks' notice to the council — something we check and arrange for you.
Look for blackened, wilting leaves in summer, thinning at the crown and dark diamond-shaped lesions on the bark. And it is genuinely local — ash dieback was found in the grounds of Caerphilly Castle itself in November 2024. The council inspects its own 260,000 trees on a zoned regime and advises that only suitably experienced, qualified and equipped tree surgeons should fell infected ash — which is exactly the work our NPTC-certificated team carries out.
Yes — the whole basin and the valleys around it: Bedwas, Trethomas, Machen, Llanbradach, Abertridwr, Senghenydd and Penyrheol, up the Aber Valley and across to Ystrad Mynach. We reach Caerphilly from our Pontypool base via the A468, and if your village is not listed, just ask.
It depends where it grows. The council manages around 260,000 trees on its own land — parks, schools, verges and housing land — while trees in private gardens are the owner's responsibility. If a council tree concerns you, report it to the council; if it is yours, we will assess it and quote. We are happy to help you work out which is which.
Yes. Our 24-hour emergency line — 07525 855 019 — covers Caerphilly every day of the year. Storm-damaged, fallen and hazardous trees are prioritised and usually made safe the same day.
For most felling and major pruning, the dormant months from late autumn to early spring are ideal — the structure is visible, the ground work is quicker and prices are often keener. But condition beats calendar: a dangerous tree should be dealt with whenever it is found, and we work safely all year round, always checking for nesting birds first.
Yes — every operator is NPTC certificated ('ticketed', as the council guidance puts it) for the equipment and techniques they use, from ground saws to aerial work. Alongside that we carry £5 million public liability and £10 million employer's liability insurance and work to BS3998 on every job.
Yes — trimming, reshaping and height reductions for garden and boundary hedges, with all clippings removed. Work is planned around the bird-nesting season, roughly March to August, in line with the law.
Yes. We carry out site clearance, vegetation management and planned tree maintenance for businesses, landlords, schools and developers across the borough, with method statements and risk assessments supplied as standard where needed.
