Why People Call

Planning tree work in Cranleigh

Trees need considering before an extension or driveway is laid out. Root damage can result from excavation, stored materials and vehicle movements even when the trunk is untouched. A planning tree report addresses different questions from a pruning quote. For Cranleigh, Ewhurst and Alfold projects, establish the required assessment before fixing the construction layout.

Common Questions

Cranleigh Tree Surgery FAQs

Can I arrange a tree report for a planning application?

Send the planning authority's requirements and site plans first. Brad can discuss the assessment needed and confirm the scope, fee and arrangements before you book.

Can stump grinding be quoted alongside removal?

Yes. State what will go in the space afterwards, as the depth and preparation required can differ for lawn, planting and construction.

Tree Removal

Tree removal may involve felling into an open space or lowering sections around buildings. The site visit establishes the method, clearance and whether the stump is included.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding removes the stump to an agreed depth. Access, buried services and your plans for the ground determine what can be done and what preparation is needed afterwards.

Arborist reducing the height of a tall back-garden tree behind a boundary fence.

Ash Dieback

A thinning ash crown needs assessment, particularly beside roads, paths or buildings. The tree’s condition and surroundings determine whether monitoring, pruning or removal is appropriate.

Protected Trees & TPOs

Check tree protection before planning pruning or removal. A TPO application and conservation area notice have different requirements; confirm which applies to your tree.

Before-and-after view of a large garden after hedge and boundary maintenance.

Hedge Trimming & Reduction

Hedge species and condition determine how far it can be cut back. Agree the height, width, timing and removal of cuttings, with an active-nest check before work.

Hedge Work→

Fencing

If tree or hedge clearance is followed by fencing, discuss the boundary, remaining roots and post positions before clearing the site.

Fencing→
Tree climber pruning out limbs high in a mature canopy using rope access.

Pollarding

Pollarding needs a suitable species and a planned maintenance cycle. It is not a substitute for crown reduction on a mature tree that has never been pollarded.

Pollarding→
Large timber sections being cleared with machinery during a site clearance job.

Woodland & Overgrowth Clearance

Woodland work starts with the purpose of the site: access, habitat, timber or managing hazardous trees. Agree which trees need attention and check any consents before work.

Deadwood Removal

Dead branches above paths, parking or buildings need assessment. The extent of deadwood removal should reflect the tree’s condition and the people using the space below.

Commercial Tree Work

Customer reviews
“Capel Tree Surgeons came round today and completely reshaped our spruce, pollarded two field maples and an apple tree. They also trimmed our hedges around the garden. Brad and Ben are really professional and did an excellent job leaving the garden neat and tidy. We would highly recommend them!”
Rosemary Bell · Horsham
“Brad is brilliant. Very reasonably priced but also very quick, tidy and professional. Have used for several jobs year on year including fencing, trees and hedges. Would definitely recommend.”
