If you’re searching for a tree surgeon in Cheltenham, you’re three miles from our yard. Silver Tree Services is based at Shurdington Nurseries on the town’s southern edge, and Cheltenham has been our home patch since 2004: the Regency squares with their protected limes and planes, the avenues of Pittville and The Park, the mature gardens of Charlton Kings and Leckhampton, and the business parks, schools, and institutions that keep our commercial teams busy year round.

Cheltenham trees have paperwork
A lot of Cheltenham sits inside conservation areas, the Central Conservation Area among them, where the council must receive six weeks’ written notice before tree works, and the town’s signature trees, the limes, planes, cedars, and beeches that make its streetscapes, frequently carry Tree Preservation Orders, where unauthorised work risks fines of up to £20,000 per tree. We check protections on every Cheltenham quote and handle the notices and applications with Cheltenham Borough Council as part of the job. It’s routine for us; it’s a trap for contractors from out of the area.
Town gardens, real access
Regency and Victorian Cheltenham means rear gardens reached through the house, down a shared passage, or not at all. Our crews rig and lower trees in sections where there’s no space to fell, run pedestrian stump grinders through standard gateways, and protect the iron railings, paths, and planting that make these gardens worth the effort. The quote visit is where we solve access on paper, so the price you get is the price it takes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cheltenham Services
Frequently asked.
Do I need permission for tree work in Cheltenham?
Often, yes. Much of central Cheltenham lies within conservation areas, where Cheltenham Borough Council must receive six weeks’ written notice before tree works, and many of the town’s mature limes, planes, and beeches carry Tree Preservation Orders, with fines up to £20,000 per tree for unauthorised work. Silver Tree Services checks every Cheltenham address against protections before quoting and prepares the notices and applications as part of the job.
Can you trim hedges in Cheltenham's smaller gardens?
Yes, hedge trimming in Cheltenham is daily work for us, from formal box, yew, and beech in Regency gardens to laurel and leylandii boundaries that have outgrown their welcome. Crews work from terraced gardens with through-house access, protect borders and paths, and remove all arisings the same day. Silver Tree Services schedules major cutting outside the 1 March to 31 August nesting season, with checks where in-season work is needed.
Do you offer landscaping in Cheltenham?
Yes. Silver Tree Services’ landscaping teams build patios, lay turf, install fencing, and plant gardens across Cheltenham, with stock grown at our own Shurdington nursery three miles from town. One business handles design through planting and the tree and hedge work around it, which suits Cheltenham’s mature gardens, where landscaping usually happens among established trees that deserve protecting while the work goes on.
Do you work for Cheltenham businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Commercial grounds maintenance, tree surveys, and planned tree work run on contract for Cheltenham offices, schools, retail sites, and managed properties, with RAMS, accredited teams, and consolidated invoicing. Silver Tree Services’ commercial clients in the area include the NHS and Gloucestershire Police, and the Bugatti Owners Club at Prescott Hill Climb near Cheltenham, so the vetting demanding estates teams require is already evidenced.
How quickly can you quote a job in Cheltenham?
Usually within days, because Cheltenham is three miles from our Shurdington yard and crews pass through town daily. Storm damage and dangerous trees are prioritised immediately: call 01242 472560 and Silver Tree Services will make the situation safe first and sort paperwork after. Scheduled work typically follows within a few weeks of a quote being accepted, faster outside the spring rush.
