Our Work
Photographs of jobs we have carried out around Worthing and the West Sussex coast.
Willow Pollarding, Caravan Park
A willow tree pollarded back to keep it contained, done every few years for a family-run caravan park.
Large Lime Tree Pruning, Arundel
Before and after pruning of a very large lime tree in Arundel, West Sussex. This tree is pruned every six years.
Mature Apple Tree Pruning, Goring
Annual pruning of a large, mature apple tree for a residential customer in Goring. The tree flowers and fruits well every year.
Street Trees Over the Pavement
Street trees reduced back over a pavement and a garden wall, giving clearance underneath.
Winter Crown Work
Crown work on a still, misty morning. The bare season is when the structure of a tree is easiest to read.
Mature Garden Tree
A large garden tree reduced back off the house while keeping its shape.
Rigging a Heavy Stem
Ropes still set on a freshly cut stem. Sections are lowered under control rather than dropped.
Clearing Up On Site
Brash going through the chipper as the job runs. Everything is cleared and swept before we leave.
Tall Hedge, Cut Square
A tall hedge cut flat along the top with square faces, which is what holds the shape through the season.
Conifer Removal
Tall conifers taken down in sections. Nothing here could be felled whole, so each piece came down on ropes.
Street Tree Reduction
A mature street tree brought back hard over a Victorian frontage, clear of the roofline and the parking below.
Crown Reduction in Progress
A crown reduction underway, with ladders set and the arisings dropped clear of the beds below.
Topiary Ball, Work in Progress
Shaping a topiary ball from a tripod ladder, which stands on three legs and sits level on soft ground.
Crown Reduction, Residential Street
A street tree after a crown reduction, brought back in size while keeping an even shape.
Topiary in a Walled Garden
Box ball topiary in a walled garden. Box is cut in dry weather and out of strong sun, and watched for blight and box moth.
Front Garden Shrubs, Worthing
Front garden shrubs reshaped on a Worthing street, kept below window height.
Driveway Hedge Trim
A hedge running the full length of a driveway, cut square with a straight top line.
Shaped Hedges, Residential
Front garden hedges and topiary on a residential street, cut to hold their shape through the season.
Garden Hedge with Lilac
A garden hedge kept in shape alongside established planting, cut to avoid the neighbouring shrubs.
Large Tree Management
A cherry picker giving safe access to a large mature tree. Not every tree should be climbed.
Precision Hedge Cut
Showcase result of a precision hedge cut — clean straight lines and immaculate finish.
Misty Autumn Tree Work
Autumn tree work on a still, damp morning. Cooler months are the working season for most broadleaf pruning.
Commercial Tree Work
A cherry picker in use on a commercial site, where the drop zone made climbing the wrong approach.
Tall Hedge Cutting
A tall privacy hedge cut from ladders. Hedges over about three metres need proper access rather than a step stool.
Round Crown Reduction
A mature pine reduced to an even crown. Conifers will not regenerate from brown wood, so the cuts stay within the live foliage.
Crown Shaping in a Sunny Garden
A crown reduction on a residential garden tree, taken back evenly so the tree keeps its natural outline.
Winter Tree Pruning, Worthing
Two climbers reducing mature deciduous trees during winter dormancy, which is when most broadleaves are best pruned.
