Chorleywood Common Conservation Area

Artemis Working for the Common Good

Artemis Tree Services was happy to work on Chorleywood Common recently. The Common is a County Heritage Site, a Conservation Area and a Local Nature Reserve. Covering 80 hectares (the equivalent of 110 football pitches) it comprises grassland, wooded areas and ponds. There is a Nature Trail with play structures, wood sculptures and other structures to encourage play.

The Common has a long history. In 1917 Sir James Henly Batty bought the Cedars Estate and became the Lordship of the Manor and the Common. Batty retained the Lordship of the Manor and the Common until 1921 when he gave the Common to Chorleywood Urban District Council as a memorial to the men of Chorleywood who fell in the First World War. It remained in the possession of the Urban District Council until the new system of local government was introduced and ownership of the Common was transferred to Chorleywood Parish Council in January 1974.

Open grazing used to be permitted but since this was restricted in 1950s, trees have become more established and continue to thrive in numerous copses. The Common is cared for by Parish Rangers who organise educational events and maintain the Common and the trees.

Artemis was called in to help when some more skilled tree work was required. Our team had to remove some overhanging, snapped branches and pollard a dead tree.

The beautiful tree-lined avenue was made safe again and in keeping with the ethos of the Common, our team carved the felled tree trunk into a low bench with several seats for walkers to take a rest. The team stacked the other remaining debris into eco piles to encourage insects and fungi.

Next time you’re out on the Common, see if you can find the tree-seat and pause for a while.

This is the first occasion using Artemis and we found the service from start to finish prompt, professional and friendly. The interaction prior to the commencement of the work was really efficient, and the team on the day were great and the work completed was to an exceptional standard, as was the clear up afterwards. A big thanks to Loise, Lewis, Mo and Marchin for your hard work on the day, and to Scott too who did the initial quotation. Well done boys and we are so pleased with the end result!

Great booking and pre-visit communication. The chaps that did the work were courteous and professional - knew what they were doing and clearly communicated how the job was going and answered any questions we had during the work. They took their time to do the job well. Site left tidy with trees pruned and shaped as agreed. Artemis are expert and professional.

We were completely satisfied with their service at every stage of their work. Perhaps what pleased us most was to see the two young lads genuinely enjoying their work! 57 Bow Lane, Finchley, N12 0JL.

My wife and I were pleased to welcome Charlie and Ben, to tackle our overgrown Laurel. They telephoned ahead to advise their time of arrival and, once on site, got down to work in a professional and industrious manner. These young men were friendly and helpful, completing the job to our exact requirements, and tidying up thoroughly afterwards. In addition, they approached their work in full compliance with health and safety regulations. All in all, they were splendid ambassadors for their company!

Artemis Tree Services Limited is a professional tree surgeon and is highly recommended. The marketplace is peppered with charlatans purporting to be qualified in this specialist area but Artemis continues to uphold and deliver the professional status of this important skill. They offer a a high quality service from the very first contact through to delivery of a clean and crafted conclusion. I have no hesitation in recommending their outstanding service.
