Rules in the UK
Permissions and regulations.
Most garden work needs no permission. Trees are the main exception: work on a tree protected by a tree preservation order, or on most trees in a conservation area, needs your council’s consent first; see tree preservation orders and conservation areas (gov.uk). Wild birds and their active nests are protected by law, so check hedges and shrubs for nests before cutting.
General guidance only, based on gov.uk and the Planning Portal. Your council or building control has the final say.
Things to watch
- Trees protected by a tree preservation order, or in a conservation area, need council consent before work.
- Nesting birds are protected, so plan hedge work around the nesting season.
- Good drainage matters as much as the planting.

FAQ
Gardening: your questions.
What gardening services do you offer?
Landscaping, planting, lawn maintenance and garden design.
Do I need permission to cut down a tree in my garden?
If the tree has a tree preservation order, or the property is in a conservation area, you usually need your council’s consent before any work. Otherwise permission is not normally needed.
When is the best time to plant?
For many trees, shrubs and perennials, autumn and spring are good times, when the soil is moist and temperatures are mild. The right timing depends on the plant.
Can you look after the lawn as well?
Yes. Lawn maintenance is part of our gardening service.
