Tree surgery being carried out in Church Crookham, Hampshire

Church Crookham sits immediately south of Fleet, about nine miles from Farnham, and has changed a great deal in the last twenty years. The closure of Queen Elizabeth Barracks and the Crookham Park development that followed transformed a large part of the village, and that history shapes the tree work we do here.

The redevelopment retained a good number of the mature trees from the old barracks site - oaks and limes that were standing long before the housing went up. Those trees are now growing in much tighter circumstances than they were, hemmed in by new properties and driveways, and they need managing accordingly. Several carry Tree Preservation Orders and require consent from Hart District Council before any work.

Alongside that, the newer streets were planted with young ornamental stock which is now approaching maturity. This is a very good moment for formative pruning across the estate - shaping trees properly at fifteen or twenty years old is straightforward and inexpensive, whereas correcting a badly structured tree at forty is neither.

The older part of Church Crookham, around the church itself and the lanes running towards Crondall, is a different world again: established village gardens with substantial yew, beech and holly, some of it very old indeed. Yew in particular rewards careful, knowledgeable cutting and punishes the opposite, and we are comfortable working with it.

Because the village straddles this old-and-new divide, we get a genuine mix of work here in a single week - a young whitebeam needing shaping on one street, and a two-hundred-year-old boundary yew needing sensitive reduction on the next.

Tree Surgery in Church Crookham: Your Questions Answered

Yes, regularly. A number of the mature trees retained from the former Queen Elizabeth Barracks site are protected, so consent from Hart District Council is often needed. We check that before quoting.

It can. Trees retained through a development are frequently covered by Tree Preservation Orders or planning conditions specifically to protect them. It does not mean nothing can be done, but it does mean consent is needed first, and we will establish that for you.

Very much so. Formative pruning on a fifteen or twenty year old tree is quick and inexpensive, and it prevents the structural problems that become expensive to correct once a tree is mature. A lot of the newer planting in Church Crookham is at exactly that stage now.

Yes. Yew is one of the few conifers that will regenerate from old wood, which makes it far more forgiving than leylandii - but it still needs to be done properly and at the right time of year. There is some very old yew around the church here and we treat it with the care it deserves.

About nine miles. We are based in Farnham and cover Church Crookham, Fleet and the surrounding villages routinely.
