Tree Surgery That Knows Northampton
Northampton is the biggest town in our area, and Roberts Roots covers it from our base in Warkton, near Kettering. Todd Roberts, Founder, works across the town: Abington, Kingsthorpe, Duston, Weston Favell, Wootton and beyond, and out to the surrounding villages.
Northampton has a huge variety of trees, from the big parkland trees around Abington Park and the Racecourse to garden trees in its Victorian suburbs and young trees on the new estates. That variety means every job is different, which is why every quote is based on your job's size, access and location.
Steve, a customer on MyBuilder, said: "Very professional, handled all the work for us and cost effective compared to other quotes."
Property Types in Northampton
Northampton's inner suburbs, such as Abington and the Mounts, have long rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow back gardens. Further out are inter-war semis, large 1960s–80s expansion estates built when Northampton was designated a New Town, and modern developments on the edges of the town. Each brings different tree work: tight-access removals in terraces, overgrown hedges on estates, and big mature trees in the larger older properties.

Local Challenges
Tree Problems Common in Northampton
Tight terraced access
Many Northampton terraces have no side access, so equipment and timber have to come through narrow passages or the house. Todd plans for this at the quote stage.
Trees planted too close
On the 1970s and 80s expansion estates, trees planted as saplings near houses are now mature and often too big for their spot.
Clay soils
Parts of Northamptonshire have clay soils, which can shrink and swell. Large, thirsty trees close to buildings are worth keeping an eye on.
Conservation areas
Northampton has many conservation areas in its older districts and villages. Todd always checks before any cutting.

Good to Know
Planning Tree Work in Northampton
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 Northampton 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 Northampton, 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.
