Climber working high in a tree canopy
Surrey Hills · Guildford · Dorking · Reigate · Cobham

Trees handled with respect.
Mess cleared, every time.

NPTC-qualified arborists working across the Surrey Hills. From a single storm-damaged limb to a full crown reduction on a veteran oak — we turn up when we say, work safe, and leave the garden tidier than we found it.

Storm-damaged tree? Branch down on the drive?
24/7 emergency call-out across the Surrey Hills. We'll be there same day.

What we do

Five jobs.
Done properly.

We're a three-man crew — climber, groundsman, chipper-op — and everything we do is to British Standard BS3998. No cowboy cuts, no topping out healthy trees, no quote-and-vanish.

01

Tree Felling & Removal

Whole-tree takedowns where reduction isn't an option — sectional dismantling in tight gardens, full fells on open ground. Stump can be ground out the same day.

02

Crown Reduction & Thinning

Reshaping mature trees to let more light through, ease wind-load, and keep them in proportion. Cuts made to BS3998 — no topping, no lion-tailing.

03

Dead Wood Removal

Climbing inspections of mature oaks, beeches and limes. Dead, hung-up or hazardous limbs taken out cleanly before they come down on their own.

04

Stump Grinding

Tracked grinder reaches most gardens through a standard side gate. Roots taken down 300mm below ground so you can re-turf or replant straight after.

05

Emergency Storm Response

Tree down on the drive, hung up over a roof, or split overnight in a gale? On-call 24/7 across the Surrey Hills with a fully kitted chipper team.

“Storm took half a willow down across the lane on a Sunday night. Canopy were here by 7am Monday — climbed it, sectioned it, chipped the lot and swept the road. You'd never know it had happened.”
