Tree Surgery in Sketty
Swansea Tree Surgeons covers Sketty with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Sketty has some of the largest and most established gardens in Swansea. The Edwardian and inter-war houses around Sketty Green, Derwen Fawr and De la Beche Road sit on deep plots, and the oaks, beeches, limes and sycamores planted when they were built are now big enough to shade whole gardens and reach over roofs.
Our teams carry out crown reductions, thinning, deadwooding and careful removals across Sketty, from Sketty Park and Tycoch to Derwen Fawr, Sketty Green and the streets bordering Singleton Park.

Big Trees, Close Neighbours
With Singleton Park and Swansea University’s campus on one side and Clyne Valley not far away, Sketty feels leafy, and plenty of the boundary trees in its gardens are as old as the houses. Lightly reducing or thinning these trees keeps them safe over lawns, drives and neighbouring roofs without losing the screening and character people value.
Elsewhere, 1960s and 70s estates in Sketty Park and Tycoch have matured into gardens full of birches, cherries and conifers that have simply outgrown their plots. Reducing them, or taking them out and grinding the stumps, is often the quickest way to get light back.
Protected trees in Sketty
Sketty is within Swansea Council’s area. Check with the council whether a tree has a Tree Preservation Order before booking work on a large tree.
Tree Surgery in Sketty: Common Questions
Do you cover all of Sketty?
Yes — Sketty Green, Sketty Park, Derwen Fawr, Tycoch, Parkway and the streets around Singleton Park.
A big tree in my garden is shading the house. Does it have to come down?
Usually not. A crown reduction or thinning of 20–30% can bring back a lot of light while keeping the tree healthy. We’ll tell you which option suits it.
Can I cut back my neighbour’s tree where it hangs over my garden?
You can usually cut overhanging branches back to the boundary line, but no further, and only if the tree isn’t protected. It is best to speak to your neighbour first; the branches belong to them, so offer them back.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Sketty?
Every tree is different, so we quote each job rather than publish a price list. As a guide, a hedge cut or small ornamental prune usually starts around £150–£250, a crown reduction on a typical garden tree is often £350–£750, and a full dismantle of a large mature tree in a tight back garden can run to £1,000 or more. Stump grinding is normally £80–£200 per stump. The quote covers labour, waste removal and site clean-up, with no add-ons once the team arrives.
