Tree Surgery Costs in Swansea

Tree surgery costs in Swansea in 2026 are broadly in line with Welsh averages. Swansea's geography — the city sits in a bay with surrounding upland areas — means wind exposure varies significantly from coastal city streets to properties in the Gower peninsula or Swansea Valley.

Job Swansea typical cost
Small tree felling £150–400
Medium tree felling £400–1,000
Crown reduction (medium) £350–850
Stump grinding £100–300
Hedge removal £150–500 depending on length

Swansea Tree Preservation Orders

Swansea City Council maintains a TPO register searchable at swansea.gov.uk. Areas with high TPO density in Swansea include:

  • Sketty and Derwen Fawr
  • Uplands conservation area
  • Mumbles and Oystermouth
  • West Cross and Langland

Gower AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) has additional protections — any significant tree work in the Gower should be checked with the planning authority before proceeding.

Always ask your tree surgeon to confirm TPO status before any work — a competent arborist will check this as a matter of course.
