Georgie Smith and the team carry out tree care for homes across the town: Old Hatfield and the streets around Hatfield House, the post-war neighbourhoods built when Hatfield became a new town, the estates around the University of Hertfordshire, and the newer homes on the former aerodrome land around Hatfield Business Park. Being based locally makes it simple to look at a job, plan the work and return for follow-ups. Whether it is a single overhanging branch or several mature trees on a larger plot, you are dealing with a team that knows Hatfield’s streets, access and gardens. Hatfield sits within Welwyn Hatfield, an area with plenty of green belt, woodland and protected trees. Before work on any tree, it is worth checking with Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council whether it has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area such as Old Hatfield. We will talk this through with you. ### Homes and gardens in Hatfield Housing in Hatfield ranges from historic cottages and Georgian buildings in Old Hatfield to 1950s and 1960s new-town semis and terraces, student-area houses near the university, and modern estates on the old de Havilland aerodrome site. Older plots often have mature oak, ash and sycamore close to the house, while newer gardens tend to be smaller, where a tree can outgrow its space within a few years. ### Common work in Hatfield - Cutting back from houses On closely spaced new-town streets, trees and conifers planted decades ago now press against roofs, gutters and fences. Appropriate pruning can help manage trees close to homes; the amount of cutting should suit the tree. - Leylandii and hedge control Fast-growing conifer hedges were popular on Hatfield’s post-war estates. Many have reached heights that are hard to manage without professional hedge trimming or removal. - Clearing smaller modern gardens On newer developments, tree removal and stump grinding free up compact gardens for lawns, patios and planting. - Storm damage Open land around the A1(M) and the former airfield can leave gardens exposed to strong winds. Our 24/7 emergency call-outs cover the whole town. Services ## Tree services available in Hatfield ### Tree Surgeon in Hatfield Thoughtful tree care for a healthier, more manageable garden.

Local issues ## Common tree problems in Hatfield ### Trees too close to new-town homes Many of Hatfield’s post-war homes were built with trees planted on small front and rear plots. Decades on, those trees can overhang roofs, block light and drop leaves into gutters. Regular pruning keeps them in proportion before larger reductions are needed. ### Clay soil and root activity Parts of Hertfordshire sit on clay, which shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet winters. Trees close to houses can draw moisture from the soil. If you have concerns about a tree near your home, get professional advice before cutting it down. ### Exposure to wind Hatfield’s open landscape, including the former airfield and surrounding green belt, means some gardens catch strong gusts. Tree condition and exposure both matter. Discuss any deadwood or other concerns; crown thinning is not automatically appropriate or a guarantee against storm damage. ### Protected and mature trees Old Hatfield and areas near Hatfield Park have many mature trees, some of them protected. Work may require notice to or consent from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, so plan ahead. Hatfield in focus ## Tree care in a town shaped by history and the new town Hatfield has two distinct characters. Old Hatfield, clustered around St Etheldreda’s Church and the gates of Hatfield House, is one of the most historic parts of Hertfordshire, with timber-framed and Georgian buildings, mature trees and close links to the parkland of the Hatfield estate. The wider town was largely built after the Second World War, when Hatfield was designated a new town, with planned neighbourhoods, green spaces and street trees. Hatfield’s aviation history also shaped the town. The former de Havilland aerodrome is now home to the University of Hertfordshire’s de Havilland campus, Hatfield Business Park and newer residential areas, where gardens are generally smaller and trees younger. In those neighbourhoods, the most common jobs are pruning trees that have quickly outgrown compact gardens, hedge trimming and stump grinding after removals. In the post-war neighbourhoods, trees that were planted as saplings in the 1950s and 1960s are now mature. Many sit close to houses, fences and garages, and some overhang neighbouring gardens. Regular cutting back and crown reduction keep them in proportion without removing them entirely. Being based in Hatfield means we can talk to you about your trees, quote and plan the work with local knowledge of the town’s streets and access. If you rent near the university, check with your landlord before arranging any tree work, as the trees will usually be their responsibility.
