Tree Surgery In Chichester And The Coastal Plain
Chichester has two distinct tree problems. The city itself has Georgian terraces, a cathedral close, walled gardens, and tight plots in the centre where a large tree removal needs careful planning and a clean exit. And the surrounding coastal plain: Fishbourne, Bosham, Itchenor, the harbour villages, where Willow and Alder grow along tidal channels, gardens sit below sea level in places, and the Goodwood estate and South Downs National Park add a conservation layer to most larger jobs. Chichester Harbour AONB means protected status is more common here than in most places, and the council process needs handling before anyone picks up a saw.

Chichester Tree Surgery FAQs
Do you work in the Chichester Harbour AONB?
Yes. We cover the harbour villages and understand the protected status that applies to trees in the AONB. We check TPO status and Conservation Area notifications through Chichester District Council before any work begins.
Can you work in tight city-centre gardens and cathedral close properties?
Yes. Central Chichester gardens are often bounded by walls, adjacent properties, and historic buildings. We plan the work around the access constraints and take care with the surroundings.
Do you cover the South Downs National Park villages north of Chichester?
Yes. Midhurst, Petworth, Singleton, East Dean, and the other National Park villages are all within the area we cover.
Do you work near the Goodwood Estate?
Yes. Goodwood sits on the same South Downs National Park chalk as the rest of the Chichester area we cover, so estate boundaries, parkland trees, and the tenanted properties around it come with the same TPO and AONB checks we already run on every job north of the city.
Tree Surgery Services in Chichester
If you are weighing up tree work in Chichester, these are the jobs people call about most. Each one links through to the full detail.
Tree Removal
Tree too close to the house. Dead. Storm-damaged. Been a problem for two years and now it definitely is. We take it down safely in Chichester and leave the site tidy.
Tree Removal→
Stump Grinding
The tree went. The stump stayed. It is in the way of the fence, the lawn, the patio, or the next job. We grind it out properly: below surface, not just levelled off.
Stump Grinding→
Crown Reduction
Too much shade. Overhang on the roof. Getting too big for the garden. A measured crown reduction in Chichester takes off what is causing the problem while leaving the tree looking right.
Crown Reduction→
Emergency Tree Work
Something has come down or is about to. We respond to urgent Chichester call-outs, make the site safe in the right order, and clear the hazard before it causes any more problems.
Emergency Help→
Ash Dieback
Most ash trees in Chichester are affected to some degree. The practical question is what that means for the specific tree on the specific site. We assess and advise honestly.
Ash Dieback→
Protected Trees & TPOs
Tree has a protection order? Or it might have one? We check before anyone picks up a saw, and help with the practical next step.
Protected Trees→
Hedge Trimming & Reduction
The hedge started as a tidy boundary and became a small forest. We trim, restore, and reduce hedges in Chichester for privacy, access, light, and general sanity.
Hedge Work→
Fencing
We do boundary fencing as a natural follow-on from tree and hedge work: same team, same site, no handoff. Useful when clearance reveals what the boundary has been hiding.
Fencing→
Pollarding
Pollarding only makes sense for certain trees in certain settings. Where it is the right answer, we set up a proper repeatable cycle rather than a one-off harsh cut.
Pollarding→
Woodland & Overgrowth Clearance
Larger grounds around Chichester where things have been left too long. Overstood trees, scrub, access that has closed off, boundaries that have disappeared. We bring it back under control.
Woodland Work→
Deadwood Removal
The big dead branch above the patio that you have been meaning to do something about. We remove the unstable limbs and check the rest of the canopy while we are up there.
Deadwood→
Commercial Tree Work
Estates, schools, landlords, and managed sites around Chichester. We plan around site logistics, communicate clearly, and leave things tidy enough for the next contractor.
Commercial Work→Need a Site Survey in Chichester?
Not sure what the tree actually needs? Brad will come and look at it and give you a straight answer: what needs doing, what can wait, and what is not worth worrying about.
