Tree Surgeon Leamington Spa
Who we are
Specialist Care for a Town Built Around Its Trees
Few Midlands towns owe as much to their trees as Royal Leamington Spa. The planes and limes lining the Parade, Clarendon Square and the Avenues were planted as part of the town’s Regency design, and the private gardens behind those terraces hold some of the finest mature specimens we work on anywhere. This is a town where tree surgery standards genuinely matter.
AWD Trees brings BS3998-standard pruning, NPTC-certified climbers and full insurance to every Leamington job, from a courtyard magnolia off Regent Street to a forty-foot lime behind a Newbold Terrace townhouse. We are about twenty-five minutes away via the M40 and work in the town every month.

Local knowledge
From the Parade to the Villages
Our Leamington Coverage
The whole town: north Leamington’s Avenues, Milverton and Lillington; the town centre terraces; south of the river through Sydenham and Whitnash; plus Cubbington, Radford Semele and Old Milverton. We also cover neighbouring Warwick, many jobs serve both towns in a single day.
Conservation Rules in a Regency Town
A large slice of Leamington sits within the town’s conservation areas, administered by Warwick District Council, and TPOs are dense across the Avenues and Milverton. Six weeks’ notice is required for most work on established trees. We handle the checking, the notice and the consent application, and our written specifications tend to get approved first time because they follow British Standard wording.
Planes, Limes and Garden Exotics
London planes shrug off hard pruning but need it done to pattern; limes respond brilliantly to cyclical crown reduction; and Leamington’s Victorian plant collectors left gardens with cedars, copper beeches and gingkos that deserve specialist handling. We know the difference, and prune each species the way it wants to be pruned.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Leamington property in a conservation area?
If you are north of the river or anywhere near the town centre, very likely. Warwick District Council requires six weeks' notice for work on established trees in conservation areas. We confirm your status when we quote and submit the notice for you.
Can you reduce a large lime tree without ruining its shape?
Yes, limes tolerate cyclical crown reduction extremely well when it is done to British Standard with cuts back to suitable growth points. What ruins limes is topping. We will show you photos of our previous reductions so you can see the finish before you book.
How do you access trees behind terraced townhouses?
Through the house with full floor protection, over adjoining access with neighbours' agreement, or by climbing and lowering everything within the garden footprint. Tight-access dismantles are standard work for us in Leamington and Warwick.
Do you carry out work for letting agents and block managers?
Regularly. We provide risk-prioritised reports, fixed quotes per property, tenant-friendly scheduling and the compliance documents your files need, insurance, RAMS and NPTC certificates.
What is the best season to prune my plane or lime?
Planes and limes are usually pruned in late winter before leaf-out, though light works are fine year-round outside bird-nesting restrictions. We schedule conservation-area jobs so consent arrives in time for the right pruning window.
