Tree Surgery, Hedge Cutting & Gardens in Barnes
Tucked inside its loop of the Thames, Barnes keeps a village atmosphere that few London suburbs can match — and though it's a solid eight miles from our East Molesey base, its tree-rich streets make the journey worthwhile for most jobs.
Your local tree & garden team in Barnes
The river wraps around Barnes on three sides, and between the towpath, the Common and the wetland reserve, the area holds an unusual amount of semi-wild green space for somewhere so close to central London. Its residential streets match that setting: period cottages and villas with walled gardens, wisteria-clad frontages, and mature limes, planes and fruit trees that have been part of the streetscape for a century or more.
Character like that comes with responsibilities. Much of Barnes sits within conservation areas, so tree work routinely involves notifying the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames six weeks ahead — a process we run for customers as standard rather than an extra. Access is the other local theme; walled plots and narrow lanes mean we plan every job around ropes, care and clean handwork, which happens to be how we prefer to operate anyway.
What we do
Our services in Barnes
Tree Surgery
Period gardens reward restraint, so our Barnes tree work leans on fine pruning — balanced crown reductions, thinning that keeps a tree's outline, deadwooding over seating areas and paths. When removal is unavoidable we dismantle piece by piece within walled boundaries, protecting brickwork, borders and everything beneath.

Barnes gardens favour traditional hedging — box, yew, hornbeam, holly — and we cut it with the precision those species deserve. Taller privacy screens along back boundaries are kept in check too, and tired or gappy hedges can often be renovated back to density over a season or two.

To round things off we take on garden clearances, wisteria and climber pruning, ivy removal from old walls (done gently — the wall matters), and general seasonal tidy-ups across Barnes. Waste is carried out through whatever access exists and removed completely.

Tree Preservation Orders in Barnes
Tree protection in Barnes sits with the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and it applies widely: numerous Tree Preservation Orders, plus conservation areas covering much of the village where any work on most trees needs six weeks' prior notice to the borough. We treat the status check as the first task of every Barnes job, advise you honestly on what will and won't be approved, and prepare and submit the notification or TPO application ourselves.

Frequently asked questions
A large proportion of Barnes is indeed within conservation areas, though not every street. If your property is inside one, most trees above a small size are automatically protected and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames needs six weeks' notice before work. We confirm your exact position on the borough maps and handle any notice required.
Yes. Protecting what surrounds the tree is half the job in Barnes: we rig and lower timber away from walls, sheet vulnerable surfaces, and carry material out by hand rather than dragging it. Ivy on old brickwork gets particular care, since ripping it off can take the pointing with it — we cut and peel instead.
We will, though we're honest that an eight-mile round makes small jobs easier to price fairly when they coincide with other work nearby — so we may offer you a date alongside another Barnes or Richmond visit. The quote itself works the same as ever: one clear figure, no call-out charge, no pressure.
