Professional Tree Surgeon in Askham Bryan & Askham Richard | Expert York Arborist

Located just west of the city, the "Askham" villages are synonymous with York’s agricultural heritage and the prestigious Askham Bryan College. From the iconic duck pond in Askham Richard to the historic lanes of Askham Bryan, this area is defined by its mature ash trees, expansive parklands, and proximity to the ecologically vital Askham Bog. AtGus Bishop Tree Services, we provide NPTC-qualified care specifically designed for the unique arboricultural needs of the Rural West York ward.

The clay and gravel-rich soils of this area support grand specimens of Oak, Beech, and true to the village names, traditional Ash trees. We provide the expert crown thinning and safety inspections necessary to maintain these historic trees while managing the ongoing challenges of Ash Dieback in the local landscape.
