Tree surgery being carried out in Hook, Hampshire

Hook sits around sixteen miles west of Farnham, close to the M3, and has grown considerably from the village it once was. That growth is the useful thing to understand about tree work here: Hook is really two places layered on top of one another.

The older core, and the surrounding hamlets of Newnham, Rotherwick and Greywell, are properly rural - farm boundaries, paddocks, old field hedges and substantial standard oaks in the hedgerows. Work here tends to be larger in scale: hedge laying and reinstatement, clearing overgrown field boundaries, taking out storm-damaged limbs over paddock fencing, and thinning small blocks of woodland.

The newer estate development around the village is the opposite - modest gardens, ornamental planting, and boundary conifers. The most common job we do on these streets is bringing a leylandii or thuja boundary back to a manageable height before it becomes a dispute between neighbours.

A lot of properties around Hook have paddock land or a significant amount of ground attached, and this brings its own work: clearing scrub and bramble that has taken hold, dealing with self-seeded ash and sycamore colonising the edges of a field, and removing dead ash. Ash dieback has hit this part of Hampshire hard and a great deal of our rural work now involves taking out ash that is no longer safe. Dead ash becomes brittle very quickly and is genuinely dangerous to climb, so it is worth dealing with sooner rather than later.

Because plots here are larger and access is generally good, machinery can usually get in, which tends to make bigger jobs more economical than the equivalent would be in a town.

Yes - Newnham, Rotherwick, Greywell, Mattingley and the surrounding lanes as well as Hook itself. We are about sixteen miles away in Farnham.

Ash dieback is widespread around Hook and dead ash should be dealt with promptly. It becomes brittle very quickly, which makes it unsafe to climb and unpredictable to fell. We assess each tree and will usually recommend removal from a machine rather than by climbing once it has deteriorated.

Yes, that is a good part of our rural work. We clear scrub, bramble and self-seeded saplings, reinstate old field hedges and take out dangerous limbs over fencing. Access at Hook is generally good, so machinery can usually get in.

Possibly. A licence from the Forestry Commission is generally needed for felling more than five cubic metres in a calendar quarter, or two cubic metres if the timber is sold. We can advise on whether your plans cross that threshold.

Often, yes. Where machinery can reach the tree and there is room to work and process material on site, a big job can be surprisingly economical compared with the same tree in a tight town garden.
