Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tree surgery in Worthing and West Sussex

How much does tree surgery cost in Worthing?

It depends on the size of the tree, what needs doing and how easy it is to reach. A tree we can drop whole in an open garden and one we have to rope down in sections over a conservatory are very different jobs. Quotes are free and given on site.

Do I need permission to cut down a tree in my garden?

Only if it carries a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area. Work without consent in either case is a criminal offence. We check the register before quoting and make the application on your behalf.

Are you insured for tree surgery work?

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and can send the current certificate with your quote. Our climbers hold NPTC certification, which is the qualification legally required to use a chainsaw at height.

Do you offer emergency tree surgery?

Yes, around the clock. Storm damage, fallen trees and limbs hung up in a crown. Call 01903 231321 at any hour. Where a power line is involved, ring 105 first and keep clear of the tree.

What areas do you cover?

Worthing and the West Sussex coast, including Lancing, Sompting, Shoreham-by-Sea, Goring-by-Sea, Ferring, Findon, Rustington, Angmering, Littlehampton and Steyning. If your town is not listed, ring and ask.

When is the best time to prune trees?

Most broadleaves during dormancy, from late autumn to early spring. Birch, maple and walnut bleed heavily from late-winter cuts and are better left until late summer. Plums and cherries should only be cut between June and August, which avoids silver leaf.

Need emergency tree work?

Storm damage, dangerous trees, we're available 24/7.
