Tree surgeon in AbergavennyNPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgeons covering Monmouth and its villages — from Wyesham and Overmonnow to Osbaston, Dixton and Mitchel Troy. Tree surgery, felling, stump removal, hedge cutting and 24-hour emergency tree work, all to British Standard BS3998 and always left tidy.
Looking for a tree surgeon in Monmouth? Hywel Jones Tree Services is a family-run team of NPTC-qualified arborists carrying out tree surgery, felling, stump removal and hedge cutting across the town — Wyesham, Overmonnow, Osbaston, Dixton, May Hill and Drybridge — and the villages around it. Every job is fully insured, completed to British Standard BS3998, and priced with a clear written quote before any saw is started.
Monmouth's setting takes some looking after: the town sits where the Monnow meets the Wye, with wooded hills rising on three sides and mature trees everywhere from Chippenham Mead and Vauxhall Fields to the specimen trees of Drybridge Park's arboretum. Gardens here hold big, established trees — and on the edge of the Wye Valley National Landscape, much of what grows is protected or sensitive. We bring the qualifications, the paperwork and the local knowledge to work on them properly, and we reach the town quickly from our Pontypool base along the A40.
Everything from a light prune to a full removal — one local, qualified team covers it all. Our most-requested work:
Crown reduction, thinning, dead-wooding and the safe sectional felling of large trees, including tight plots in the old town. Tree surgery in Monmouth.
Old stumps ground out below ground level so you can re-turf, replant or build. Stump removal in Monmouth.
Hedges trimmed, reshaped and reduced — with every clipping taken away. Hedge cutting in Monmouth.
Overgrown plots and building sites cleared, with branches chipped on site. Site clearance in Monmouth and chipper hire with operator.
Because we can prove the things that matter. Monmouthshire County Council's own guidance requires works to protected trees to be carried out to British Standard BS3998 (2010) — and BS3998 is the standard we work to on every job, protected or not. Our arborists are NPTC qualified, we carry £5m public liability and £10m employer's liability insurance, and the owner is on site for every job. Add our own equipment — climbing kit, chipper, stump grinder and cherry picker (MEWP) — and you get a fair price with no hire surcharges and a garden left tidier than we found it.
If a tree has come down or is threatening your home, we run a 24-hour emergency response. Call 07525 855 019 any time and we will make it safe as a priority. See our storm damage and emergency work.
Quite possibly — and it is the first thing we check. Monmouth town centre sits within a designated conservation area, so works to most trees there need six weeks' written notice to Monmouthshire County Council before they begin, and other trees across the county are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. The council provides a combined application form for both, and its planning team (planning@monmouthshire.gov.uk, 01633 644962) confirms the status of any tree. We make these checks as part of your free quote and can prepare and submit the application for you, so the work always goes ahead with everything in order.
Yes — it is some of the most common work we now do in the county. Monmouthshire County Council runs a dedicated ash dieback programme, and stretches of the A466 north of Monmouth have already been closed for felling infected roadside ash. The council's working guideline considers removal where a crown shows around 50% dieback — but a struggling ash does not automatically need felling, and we will tell you honestly when monitoring or a reduction is the better answer. Infected ash becomes brittle, so when felling is needed it is a job for a qualified team. Read more about how we handle diseased trees and tree felling.
If you are after firewood for sale in Monmouth, we deliver it ourselves. The hardwood we recycle from local tree work is split, stacked and seasoned until it is dry and ready to burn, then delivered in bulk bags, IBC cages or full loads. Browse our seasoned firewood and logs for sale or call us to arrange a drop-off in town or the villages around it.
The whole town and the countryside around it. We regularly work in Wyesham across the river, Overmonnow, Osbaston and Dixton along the A40 side, May Hill and Drybridge — and out to villages including Mitchel Troy and Rockfield. From the Kymin side to Chippenham Mead, if you can see it from Monnow Bridge, we cover it; and if you are further out, just ask when you call.
Every job is priced on what is actually in front of us: the size, species and condition of the tree, how easy it is to reach, whether it is protected, and whether the timber and brash need taking away. After a free site visit anywhere in Monmouth you get a clear, itemised, no-obligation quote in writing. Winter felling of dormant trees is often the most cost-effective option, and because we own all our own equipment the price stays competitive all year round.
From our Pontypool base, the A40 puts us there quickly — town centre, both banks of the Monnow and the villages beyond. Call us to confirm we reach your lane.

Yes. Monmouth is one of our core service areas. We carry out tree surgery, felling, stump removal and hedge cutting across the whole town — Wyesham, Overmonnow, Osbaston, Dixton, May Hill and Drybridge — as well as nearby villages such as Mitchel Troy and Rockfield. We reach Monmouth easily from our Pontypool base via the A40.
Usually you may fell a tree in your own garden, but not always. If the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, or stands within a conservation area such as Monmouth's, you need the council's go-ahead first — and felling licences can apply to larger volumes of timber. We check the tree's status for you before quoting, so the work is always lawful.
If the tree stands within the Monmouth conservation area, Monmouthshire County Council must be given six weeks' written notice before works to any tree with a trunk diameter over 75mm. The council provides a combined form for TPO and conservation-area applications. We identify whether your tree is affected and can prepare and submit the notice for you.
Ask Monmouthshire County Council's planning team — they confirm TPO and conservation-area status for any address. You can email planning@monmouthshire.gov.uk or call 01633 644962. We make this check as a standard part of every quote, so you never have to chase the paperwork yourself.
It depends on the size and species of the tree, how accessible it is, whether it is protected, and whether you want the timber and brash taken away. Rather than quote a misleading flat rate, we visit free of charge and give you a clear written price. Owning all our own equipment keeps that price competitive.
Late autumn and winter often work out best for felling and major pruning — deciduous trees are dormant and bare, so the structure is easier to read and the job is quicker. We work all year round though, and the right window also depends on the species and on nesting birds, which we always check for first.
Yes. We season hardwood from our own tree work and deliver logs to Monmouth and the surrounding villages. Bulk bags, IBC cages and full loads are available — see our seasoned firewood page or call 07525 855 019 to arrange a delivery.
Yes — our emergency line runs 24 hours a day. If a tree has come down, split or is leaning dangerously after high winds, call 07525 855 019 at any time and we will make it safe as a priority, usually the same day.
Not necessarily. Ash dieback is well established around Monmouthshire — the council runs its own ash dieback programme and has had to close stretches of the A466 north of Monmouth for felling — but the council's working guideline considers removal where a crown shows around 50% dieback. Many ash with early symptoms can be monitored or reduced instead. We assess the tree honestly and only recommend felling when it is genuinely needed.
Yes. Our arborists are NPTC qualified, we carry £5 million public liability and £10 million employer's liability insurance, and every job is carried out to British Standard BS3998 — the same standard Monmouthshire County Council requires for works to protected trees.
All of them. The wooded hills around the town and the Wye gorge are known for beech, ash, lime, oak and yew, and the gardens in town add everything from mature fruit trees to fast-growing leylandii hedges. Whatever the species, we match the right pruning or removal technique to the tree.
Yes. Alongside homeowners we work for landlords, businesses, schools and landowners around Monmouth, providing site clearance, vegetation management and full method statements and risk assessments where required.
