Trees and gardens in Harpenden

Harpenden is one of the leafiest towns in Hertfordshire. The detached Edwardian and interwar houses around the Common, West Common and the roads off the Station Road have large gardens with mature oak, lime, beech, horse chestnut and cedar, some older than the houses.

That size brings its own problems: crowns spreading over roofs and neighbouring gardens, leaf fall choking gutters, light lost from big rear lawns, and roots running under drives in Batford, Kinsbourne Green and Southdown.

Harpenden sits about 6 miles from our Hemel Hempstead base as the crow flies.

Council permission in Harpenden

St Albans City and District Council deals with tree preservation orders in Harpenden, and the town centre and the streets around the Common are conservation areas. With so many large trees in the town, a high share are protected, and we confirm the position before we book any crown work or felling.

Getting the work done in Harpenden

Big Harpenden plots mean easy access for the chipper most of the time, but long drives and gravel need protecting, and lawns too. Near the station and the High Street, on-street parking is tight during the day, so we arrive early.

Split trees spotted, never pushy

Dan came originally to trim our hedges and showed us that we had several mature trees that were split and at risk of causing damage. He came up with a plan of other work that also required attention as our garden was too shaded and the trees were covered in mould. He was not pushy and left us to decide what we wanted to have done. His team were extremely polite and efficient and have cleared up as they have gone along. Our garden is now safe, has so much more light. The remaining trees are in good shape and we will make sure that they are maintained regularly in future

Five large trees and their stumps

We had about 5 very large trees removed, 3 of which were around a fish pond and we were so impressed with the way in which the work was carried out. 3 of the trees were in a lawned area and the complete removal of the stump will certainly make mowing the grass much easier. Prompt response from Martin to our initial enquiry for a site visit and quotation and the work carried out less than 5 days later. Martin was, as promised on site at all times, and the really friendly team didn't stop from the time they arrived until they left about 5 hours later, they all worked so hard. The whole area was cleared of debris, it certainly helps when companies have all the right equipment for the job. We would have no hesitation in recommending A1 Majestic Tree Care, you won't be disappointed.

Emailed Martin with a picture of the job for a high level estimate and he was extremely responsive as he replied within 2 hrs (a competitor who I had contacted took 2 days to respond so I did not even ask them to counter quote). On the basis his quote was reasonable I asked Martin to do the job. His 4 colleagues came over within 48 hrs and completed the job. All very polite, no nonsense, efficient and tidy. Very pleased with job and a great team to deal with. Certainly would use again as great customer experience and quality job! Thanks to a1 majestic
