Silver Tree Services is a Gloucestershire business in the literal sense: founded here in 2004, based at Shurdington Nurseries between Cheltenham and the Cotswold escarpment, employing 30+ local staff, and working the county’s gardens, estates, and commercial grounds every day since. From the Severn Vale to the high wolds, we know what grows here, what fails here, and what the local councils require before you touch a protected tree.

A county we actually know
Gloucestershire isn’t one landscape, it’s three. The Cotswolds give us limestone soils, conservation villages where most tree work needs six weeks’ notice to the council, and beech and ash that grow shallow-rooted on the brash. The Severn Vale gives us heavy clay, vigorous growth, willows and poplars near watercourses, and flood-plain ground that punishes machinery in the wrong season. The Forest edge gives us oak, commercial timber, and genuinely rural access problems. Twenty years here means we quote with that knowledge built in, not discovered halfway through your job.
Where we work
Our crews are out daily across the county. Local pages with area-specific detail:

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Gloucestershire Coverage
Do you cover all of Gloucestershire?
Yes. Silver Tree Services works across the whole county from its base at Shurdington, near Cheltenham: Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Cirencester, the Cotswold towns and villages, and the rural ground between them. Seven teams and 30+ staff mean crews are out across Gloucestershire daily, so most areas see us regularly rather than as a special trip, which keeps both response times and prices sensible.
Are you actually based in Gloucestershire?
Yes, and we always have been. Silver Tree Services was founded in Gloucestershire in 2004 and operates from Shurdington Nurseries on Whitelands Lane, between Cheltenham and the Cotswold escarpment, where our yard, nursery, and biomass operation all live. That matters because plenty of “local” search results are national lead-generation sites reselling your enquiry; calling 01242 472560 gets the actual business that does the work.
Do you charge travel costs within Gloucestershire?
Travel within the county is built into our standard pricing rather than added as a surcharge, because crews are routed efficiently across nearby jobs. Silver Tree Services quotes every job free and in writing, so the price you see covers the work described, wherever in Gloucestershire you are. For the far edges of the county and beyond, any travel consideration is in the written quote, never on the final invoice as a surprise.
Can you handle tree work in Cotswold conservation areas?
Yes, routinely. Much of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds sits in conservation areas, where the council must be given six weeks’ written notice before tree works, and many significant trees carry Tree Preservation Orders with fines up to £20,000 per tree for unauthorised work. Silver Tree Services checks protections before quoting anywhere in the county and prepares the notices and applications as part of the job, so the paperwork is right before a saw starts.
Who are your Gloucestershire clients?
Alongside homeowners across the county, Silver Tree Services delivers contracts for the NHS, Gloucestershire Police, Stroud District Council, Savills, the Church of England, and the Bugatti Owners Club at Prescott Hill Climb. The same teams, standards, and insurance cover every job, so a garden in Nailsworth gets the contractor that hospital estates and county police procurement have already vetted.
How quickly can you get to my area?
Quotes are typically arranged within days anywhere in Gloucestershire, and scheduled work follows within weeks depending on season. Storm damage and dangerous trees are prioritised county-wide: call 01242 472560 and Silver Tree Services will make things safe first. Because crews work across the county daily, your job is usually slotted alongside nearby work rather than waiting for a dedicated trip.
