Do you remove trees in Dorking?

We take down dead, dying or unsafe trees, storm damaged limbs, trees planted too close to the house, and trees cleared before building work. Where access is tight, the tree comes down in sections, with the garden protected and the site cleared.

Stump grinding can be done at the same visit, so the whole job is finished in one go. See our tree removal page for what is involved.

Can you reduce or prune a tree that's blocking light?

Yes. We carry out crown reduction, crown lifting, thinning, and the removal of branches overhanging a neighbour's garden, a driveway or the road. The aim is to bring back light and ease the canopy without harming the tree.

We reduce with the long-term health of the tree in mind rather than cutting back hard. See our tree reductions and pruning service for more.

What about deadwood removal and hazardous branches?

We take out dead, diseased or hanging limbs that could drop onto a path, car, roof or neighbouring property, and we check over the rest of the crown while we are up there. Customers have praised the team for removing hazardous branches and deadwood, and you can read our reviews to hear it in their words.

Do you offer hedge trimming and hedge pruning in Dorking?

We carry out seasonal trims, top reductions to bring a hedge back to a manageable height, reshaping of overgrown boundaries and taking out failing conifer hedges altogether. All arisings are cleared away.

See our hedge trimming and pruning page for more. You can also see a recent top hedge reduction and front hedge trim in Oxshott, Leatherhead.

Will you grind the stump out afterwards?

Yes. Stumps are ground out below ground level, leaving ground you can turf, plant or pave over. Grindings are cleared, or left as mulch if you would rather keep them. See our stump grinding service for what is involved.

What if my tree has a Tree Preservation Order?

Parts of Dorking sit within conservation areas, and many mature trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, which means consent is needed before work starts. We will look at the tree, tell you what we think is needed and talk you through the permissions side before anything is cut.

[CONFIRM: does JBF submit TPO and conservation area applications to Mole Valley District Council on the customer's behalf, or advise only?]
