Tree surgeons in Stourport-on-Severn
5 tree surgeons cover Stourport-on-Severn. None of them advertises 24-hour emergency callouts.
Stourport grew up around the canal basins where the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal meets the Severn, and much of the town sits low by the water. Riverside willows, alders and poplars, flood-soaked ground and mature trees in older gardens make up a lot of the local tree work, along with hedges and conifers on the newer estates and across the river at Areley Kings. Wyre Forest District Council handles Tree Preservation Orders. The firms below work in DY13.

Tree work in Stourport-on-Severn: local notes
- After the Severn floods, check riverside trees for leaning or lifted roots before the next storm.
- Trees along the canal towpath are usually the Canal & River Trust's, so report problems to them.
- Poplars grow very quickly and can become unstable as they age, so get older ones near houses inspected.

How to choose a tree surgeon
- Insurance: ask to see a public liability certificate (many firms carry £5m or more), and employers' liability if they have staff.
- Qualifications: chainsaw and climbing work should be done by people holding NPTC (City & Guilds) or Lantra certificates. Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status is a stronger check.
- A written quote: it should say exactly what will be cut, whether the stump is ground out, and whether waste and logs are taken away.
- Standards: ask whether the work will follow BS3998, the British Standard for tree work.
- Protected trees: a good firm will check for a TPO or conservation area and can make the application. See our TPO guide.
