Tree Surgeon In West Sussex
If a tree is crowding the house, dropping branches or blocking the next garden job, start by explaining the problem. Capel covers West Sussex from its base near Horsham, with enquiries for pruning, removal, stumps and hedges.
Planning your tree work
For a property in Horsham, Crawley, Chichester or elsewhere in the county, send the postcode and photographs of the tree and access. A narrow garden passage and an open field need different equipment and working methods. Agree which trees are included, what will be cut and what material will leave before booking.
Reduction, thinning and lifting do different jobs
Reduction shortens the outer branches to reduce the spread or height. Thinning removes selected branches within the crown. Lifting creates space beneath it. The right choice depends on where the obstruction or shade occurs.
Why cutting everything back hard can disappoint
Heavy pruning can provoke vigorous regrowth and leave large wounds. A reduction should use suitable side branches and retain a workable shape. A tree that continually outgrows its space may be better replaced with a smaller species.
Describe the result in measurements
“Take a third off” can mean different things to different people. Identify the branches affecting the roof or boundary and discuss the intended finished height and spread. The tree’s condition may limit how much can be removed.
A written quote should identify the trees, proposed work, access arrangements and clearance. Check any permission requirements before booking.
