We have a passion for trees and hate to see them struggling when perhaps they could be given a new lease of life by some judicious tree work. There are many occasions when your trees will need trimming or tidying - sometimes even felling. As your local tree specialists, we will be there to provide careful and considerate tree surgery. We want to maintain the beauty and health of your precious trees for now and for future generations so we practise the best tree care and are happy to give you free advice.
We are local tree surgeons and lovers of trees and all things nature! But we think that nature can be given a helping hand at times to enhance our environment and make it more pleasurable for us humans. We are fortunate to live in a temperate climate (though sometimes it may not feel that way!) Generally our trees, hedges and shrubs get sufficient rain, coupled with a fairly long growing season, which suits our native species. We are blessed in West Sussex to have many wonderful oak trees, even though thousands were felled during the First World War.
Horsham Tree Surgeons are experts at hedge trimming in Horsham, West Sussex. Most types of hedges need regular pruning to keep them in shape and tidy. We can trim your leylandii hedge or cut back your hawthorne hedge, making a huge difference to the look of your garden or paddock. After planting many hedges benefit from formative pruning, to give them a good shape. Regular maintenance trimming will keep your hedges within bounds and looking good. The type of hedge determines pruning times - we will advise when to cut your hedges to maintain their shape and health.
High winds can cause considerable storm damage to trees, even uprooting large specimens if conditions are particularly unfavourable. Horsham Tree Surgeons can help by dismantling and removing uprooted trees and cutting damaged branches. We do everything we can to reshape your trees and help them survive whenever possible. Storm Katie hit the South East of England pretty hard on 27th March 2016 and caused quite a bit of damage to trees and also to fencing. Beech trees seem to have been particularly damaged by strong winds, but we've also seen oak, ash, birch and fruit trees suffer, amongst others.
When you have trees removed or your tree stumps ground down, your lawn or paddock may be left in a dishevelled state. We can reseed the area with quality grass seed, or we can lay turf. Why leave the weeds to grow when you can have a beautiful grassed area which will look good for years.
Tree stumps can be useful - as you can see in the photo here, so you may want to keep them or sculpt them into garden art. We've seen larger stumps turned into seating or carved into wonderful shapes, like bears. Or you could use the stump as a base for a bird table, planter or garden ornament. But many times you'll just want the tree stump removed because it's in the way or just looks untidy. A stump left to rot on its own can take many years to disappear, so we offer a simple tree stump removal service if you'd prefer to keep your garden uncluterred.
Not everyone wants their tree stumps ground or removed. Sometimes they make a comfortable perch in the sun! But in the average garden tree stumps are simply a nuisance - something to trip over or to ruin the design or the smooth run of your lawn. And of course some trees, like ash, may sprout and produce more unwanted growth. Of course you could hire a stump grinder or tackle the job with an axe or a hammer and chisel - but isn't life too short for such a long-winded approach? Wouldn't you rather call in the experts and get the job done in a timely and cost-effective manner?

Along with other large trees, old oaks may sometimes require oak tree crown reduction. This procedure can easily damage a tree, so it should always be carried out by a qualified tree surgeon. Horsham Tree Surgeons carefully consider the best pruning for your trees, both large and small, and will discuss this with you before getting started. We want you to be pleased with the results of our tree surgery. This procedure may be necessary when branches are threatening to damage buildings or overhang paths and roads.
Tree surgery encompasses anything from pruning small branches on your favourite fruit trees to major work on a massive oak or elm. The bigger jobs can be extremely dangerous, since they involve the use of machines like chain saws which of course can be lethal in the wrong hands. Unfortunately, even experienced tree surgeons can have accidents, which is why we take the utmost care whenever we undertake any tree work. Horsham Tree Surgeons are fully qualified professional tree surgery experts who want to live long healthy lives!
It's important to understand that if your tree is legally protected, then you may be committing a criminal offence if you prune or fell it without permission from your Local Planning Authority. Here's are descriptions of some of the tree cutting terms you may come across. To pollard a tree is to prune in order to restrict its natural height. It's used to keep trees and shrubs smaller than they would grow if left to their own devices. Pollarding usually starts once your tree reaches the desired height, then annual pollarding will ensure the tree stays the same size.
