Tree surgery being carried out in Yateley, Hampshire

Yateley is about twelve miles north of Farnham, sitting on the Blackwater Valley at the northern edge of Hampshire. It is defined by its common - Yateley Common Country Park is one of the largest remaining areas of lowland heath in the county - and the heath sets the character of the trees in the town.

This is sandy, acidic, free-draining ground, and it grows Scots pine and silver birch better than almost anything else. Gardens backing onto the common are frequently dominated by self-seeded birch and pine that arrived on their own and were left to get on with it. Birch is short-lived by the standards of forest trees and tends to start dropping limbs and declining at fifty or sixty years, so a lot of our Yateley work is dealing with birch that has reached the end of its useful life.

Pine here presents the opposite problem: it lasts a long time and gets very tall, and because the crown sits high on a bare trunk the wind loading is significant. Properties along the edge of the common often have several, and periodic crown work is worth doing before a gale makes the decision for you.

Heathland is fire-sensitive, and gorse and scrub encroachment is a genuine issue around the common's margins. We do a fair amount of scrub and gorse clearance on properties bordering the heath, both to reduce fire risk and simply to reclaim garden that has been swallowed.

The residential areas of Darby Green and Frogmore are more conventional - postwar and later housing with ordinary garden trees and boundary hedging - and the work there is the usual mix of reductions, removals and hedge cutting. Being twelve miles out, we generally group Yateley work with jobs in Farnborough or Fleet where we can.

Tree Surgery in Yateley: Your Questions Answered

Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Yes, along with Yateley itself and the properties bordering Yateley Common. We are about twelve miles away in Farnham.

Quite possibly. Birch is naturally short-lived compared with oak or beech, and on Yateley's sandy soil it often starts to decline and shed limbs from around fifty or sixty years old. We can assess whether yours is genuinely failing or simply stressed, and advise accordingly.

They are worth keeping an eye on. Scots pine carries its crown high on a bare trunk, which gives it significant wind loading, and mature specimens along the edge of the common get very tall. Periodic crown reduction or thinning reduces the risk considerably.

Yes. Encroaching gorse and scrub is a common issue on properties bordering the common, both for fire risk and for simply reclaiming garden space. We clear it and take the arisings away.

No, but where we can we will group smaller Yateley jobs with work in Farnborough or Fleet on the same day, which helps keep the cost sensible for you.
