Tree Surgery That Knows Corby
Corby sits just north of our base in Warkton, so it's one of the areas Roberts Roots covers most easily. Whether you're in the town itself, Weldon, Great Oakley, Cottingham or the villages towards Rockingham, Todd Roberts, Founder, can get to you for a site visit or an emergency callout.
Corby is a town shaped by trees. It grew up among the remains of the old Rockingham Forest, and woodland such as Thoroughsale Wood and Hazel Wood still runs right through the town. That means many Corby homes back onto, or sit among, large, mature trees.
Every Corby job gets the same approach: a visit from the owner, a clear quote based on size, access and location, a Tree Preservation Order check before any cutting, and the work delivered exactly as quoted.
Property Types in Corby
Much of Corby was built quickly in the mid-20th century to house workers for the steelworks, so there are large areas of post-war semis and terraces, many with open-plan front gardens. Newer developments such as Priors Hall and Oakley Vale have added modern family homes with smaller gardens. Around the edges, older stone villages like Weldon and Cottingham have traditional cottages and bigger plots with mature trees.

Emergency callouts to Corby for storm damage, fallen trees and dangerous limbs are genuinely 24/7, call 07821 517836. For routine work, Todd arranges a site visit at a time that suits you, then gives you a clear quote.

Local Challenges
Tree Problems Common in Corby
Large trees near homes
Because the town was built among old forest, many Corby gardens back onto big, mature trees. Overhanging branches, shade and falling deadwood are common concerns.
Protected trees
Woodland trees and trees on older estates may be protected by Tree Preservation Orders. Todd always checks before work starts.
Exposed high ground
Corby sits on higher ground than much of the surrounding area, so trees can be more exposed to strong winds.
Fast-growing hedges
Many newer Corby homes have conifer hedges that were planted for quick privacy and now need regular control.

Good to Know
Planning Tree Work in Corby
Protected trees and consent
Many trees in Northamptonshire are protected by Tree Preservation Orders, and any tree in a conservation area normally needs notice given to the local council before work is done. Carrying out unauthorised work on a protected tree can lead to a fine, and it is the tree owner who is usually held responsible. That is why Todd checks every Corby job before any cutting starts. If consent is needed, the application is made in your name, and Todd helps you understand what to include so the process is as straightforward as possible.
Nesting birds and timing
Wild birds and their active nests are protected by law, and the main nesting season in Northamptonshire runs roughly from early spring through to late summer. Trees and hedges are checked for active nests before work begins, and if one is found the work may need to be adjusted or put back. Some species of tree are also best pruned at particular times of year. Emergency work to make a dangerous tree safe can be carried out whenever it is needed, day or night.
Neighbours and boundaries
In Corby, as elsewhere, a lot of tree work involves boundaries, branches overhanging from next door, or your own tree reaching into a neighbour's garden. In general you can cut back overhanging branches to your boundary line, provided the tree is not protected, but you shouldn't go beyond it without the owner's agreement. A friendly word with your neighbour first usually makes everything easier. Todd is happy to talk through what is sensible for your situation when he visits.
