Tree surgery in Headingley and Hyde Park.

Headingley and Hyde Park are among the most densely tree-covered suburbs in Leeds. The Victorian and Edwardian streets (particularly those around the cricket ground and through the LS6 conservation area) are lined with large limes, sycamores, horse chestnuts and cherry trees, many of which are subject to Tree Preservation Orders or require six weeks' notice before work can begin.

The mix of densely packed terraces and semi-detached properties means sectional dismantling is the norm rather than the exception. Most jobs involve rigging and lowering rather than straight felling: there simply is not the space to drop anything whole.

Jack is familiar with Leeds City Council's arboricultural team and handles TPO and conservation area applications regularly in this part of the city. Most straightforward applications go through without issue.

Questions we get asked

Do I need permission to remove a tree in Headingley?

Most likely yes. Much of LS6 sits within a conservation area, which means six weeks' written notice to the council before most tree work, and many of the mature street and garden trees also carry Tree Preservation Orders. We check before quoting and submit the application on your behalf.

How do you remove a large tree on a tight terraced street in Headingley?

On the densely packed streets around Headingley there is rarely room to fell a tree whole, so we dismantle it in sections using rigging and lowering. This keeps the work controlled and protects the surrounding houses, walls and parked cars.
