Tree work in Knaresborough
Trees and gardens in Knaresborough
Knaresborough's old town sits on the steep sides of the Nidd gorge, and many gardens are sloping, terraced or hard to reach. That makes careful access planning important, and it is one reason quotes can vary between properties. The town centre is a conservation area, so tree work there usually needs six weeks' notice to North Yorkshire Council.

Tree Preservation Orders and conservation areas
Work on a tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs consent from North Yorkshire Council. In a conservation area you must usually give the council six weeks' notice before cutting or removing a tree. Ask the tree surgeon to check this when they quote.
Bird nesting season
Active nests are protected by law. Most nesting happens between March and August, so major cutting is often best planned for autumn and winter.
