Fully insured, qualified tree surgeons across Hertfordshire.
Hedge Busters Tree Services is a professional tree surgery firm based in Hertfordshire, looking after trees and hedges for homeowners, landlords, estates and businesses across Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, St Albans, Watford and the surrounding villages. From a one-off tree removal to ongoing seasonal maintenance contracts, we bring the same careful, considered approach to every job.
Our day-to-day work covers the full range of arboricultural services. We carry out tree felling and removal — whether that's a whole-tree fell where space allows or careful sectional dismantling in tight gardens. We do tree pruning, crown reduction and crown thinning to let more light into your garden, reduce wind-load on mature specimens, and keep your trees healthy for decades to come. We grind out unwanted stumps ready for new turf or planting. And we cut, shape and reduce hedges of every species — beech, yew, privet, leylandii, you name it.
When the weather turns and a storm rolls through the Chilterns, we're on call. Our 24/7 emergency tree work line is answered day or night, with a typical on-site response of 60 to 120 minutes across Hertfordshire. We'll clear a fallen tree from your drive, make a storm-damaged hanger safe, and provide a written incident report for your insurance — all without out-of-hours surcharges.
We work as fully insured, qualified tree surgeons. Every member of the team is properly trained, we carry £5 million public liability cover as standard, and we work to British Standard BS3998 on every job. If your tree carries a Tree Preservation Order or sits inside a conservation area, we handle the council paperwork for you at no extra cost.
Most of our work comes from neighbours recommending us to neighbours across Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Kings Langley, Bovingdon, St Albans and Watford. If you'd like a free, no-obligation quote, give us a ring or drop your details into the form — we'll usually be back to you within a working day.

We're a small local team who love what we do. Most of our work comes from word-of-mouth across Dacorum — neighbours telling neighbours — and we like it that way.
Meet the teamFree, honest quotes
We'll come out, walk the garden with you, and give you a fair price in writing. No sales patter, no upselling — just honest advice about what your trees actually need.
Tidy, always
Sheets down, drives blown clean, chippers emptied. The nicest compliment we get is that no one can tell we were there — except the garden looks better.
We sort the paperwork
If your tree's got a TPO or sits in a conservation area, we'll deal with all the council paperwork for you as part of the quote. No extra charge, no hassle.
Local and on-call
Our vans live in Dacorum. We know every street, every access quirk, and every winding lane. Same-week quotes and a 24/7 emergency line when a storm comes through.
Five steps. No nonsense.

Every chip, log and twig leaves with us. Drives blown clean, lawns raked, no mess. You'll get photos of the finished work and a written report — and we'll always come back if anything needs a tweak.
Work we'd happily walk you past.
Rooted in Dacorum.
Hemel Hempstead
Our home patch. From Adeyfield and Bennetts End down to Boxmoor and Apsley, we're on the road across Hemel most days of the week.
Berkhamsted
Lots of lovely mature trees across Berkhamsted — big oaks, limes and beeches. We look after the lot, along with hedges and smaller trees.
Tring
Tring sits on the edge of the Chilterns, so there's a lot of beech, ash and hornbeam about. We know the trees, the lanes and the villages.
Kings Langley
From the canal-side gardens down to Chipperfield Road, Kings Langley's got a lovely mix of old and new — and we look after both.
Bovingdon
Bovingdon and the villages around — Flaunden, Chipperfield and the like — have beautiful mature trees that just need the occasional bit of care.
Markyate & Villages
Markyate, Flamstead, Redbourn and the outlying Dacorum villages — we keep our prices fair whether you're five minutes or half an hour away.
Kind words from around Dacorum.
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the lads who reduced our big lime tree — it looks so much better and we've got our light back. Really friendly team, tidy job, fair price. Already recommended to two neighbours."
"Called them at 10pm during the February storms when a tree came down across our drive. They were with us in about 90 minutes, cleared it all, made everything safe. Couldn't have asked for a better response — genuinely good people."
"We had them in for some ash dieback work and a few other tree jobs. Really lovely team, explained everything clearly, took care of the paperwork with the council for us. Would recommend without hesitation."
