At Shelford Tree Service we offer a wide range of commercial and domestic tree care and garden maintenance solutions.

We pride ourselves on our high standard of work and our dedication to health & safety, not only for our staff but also for the trees and gardens we work on.

We undertake all aspects of tree services, including:

We've been providing tree surgery and arboricultural services for commercial and domestic clients since 2014. Although most of our work is concentrated in South Cambridgeshire and North Hertfordshire, we regularly travel further afield. Our commitment to client satisfaction is the reason that much of our work comes from recommendation.

For your peace of mind, we are Alcumus Safe Contractor approved and all our work is carried out to British Standard 3998:2010. Our team is fully trained with the relevant NPTC certification (City & Guilds) and every member is fully insured. We are also Constructionline Gold approved.

We have a passion for trees and we give the same level of care and attention to all our jobs, so please call us on 01763 208361 or 07743 406569, send us an email or complete our enquiry form to request a quotation.

Since being introduced to Shelford Tree Service, I have used them exclusively. They try to understand exactly what one is wanting to achieve and then carry it out professionally and efficiently. The site, following the completion of the work, is left tidy and safe. It has been a pleasure to work with them.

Shelford Tree Service came to us early this year to work on our specimen Platanus x hispanica. The operation presented multiple challenges considering the site and the size of the tree, but Jonathan and his team dealt with them efficiently, and with professionalism. I particularly appreciated how well organised the intervention was and the minimal disruption to the site.

RAND Brothers recently employed the help of Jonathan and his team to conduct tree condition surveys across our farms. They did so in good time and then carried out the necessary tree works in a safe and efficient fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend Shelford Tree Service.

Emerald Landscapes, on behalf of Barratt Homes

Due to the time restraint of bird nesting season, this project had to be completed before March. A large strip of vegetation and trees, bordering a high-speed road, was removed very quickly by Shelford Tree Service with very short notice. They left the site very tidy. Traffic management and health & safety were high on the agenda and the Shelford team excelled at both. Our client was extremely impressed with the outcome. We recommend this service.
