Our Services
Tree Surgery Services Available in Petts Wood
A full range of tree surgery and garden services across Petts Wood, each one tailored to the tree, the site and what you need. All waste removed, site left clean and tidy.
Tree Dismantling & Removal
When a tree needs to come out completely, we take it down in sections using ropes and rigging. This is essential in Petts Wood gardens where trees are surrounded by lawns, planting and structures that need protecting.
Crown Thinning
Removing selected branches from within the canopy to reduce density and let wind pass through. This reduces the risk of storm damage on the large trees common in Petts Wood gardens.
Stump Grinding
Grinding stumps below ground level so the area can be re-turfed or replanted. Our equipment reaches stumps in back gardens without disturbing fences or established borders.
Hedge Cutting & Reductions
Trimming, reducing and reshaping hedges across Petts Wood — from formal front-garden hedges to tall rear boundary conifers. All clippings cleared and removed.
Garden Clearance
Clearing neglected Petts Wood gardens where trees, shrubs and ivy have taken over. We cut everything back, remove the waste and leave you with a clean, open space.
We also provide garden clearance and pressure washing across Petts Wood — ideal for reclaiming overgrown gardens or freshening up tired outdoor surfaces after tree work.

Tree Work We Help With
Common Tree Problems We Solve in Petts Wood
Whatever tree situation you are dealing with, we have the experience and equipment to sort it out. Here are some of the most common problems we help Petts Wood customers with.
Mature Oaks & Lime Trees
Petts Wood has many large, established trees — particularly oaks and limes — that have grown to a significant size. We carry out careful reductions to keep them safe and in proportion to their surroundings.
Trees Near Neighbouring Properties
In the closely spaced gardens of Petts Wood, trees can overhang boundaries and cause concern for neighbours. We carry out sensitive pruning and reduction that respects both sides.
Storm & Winter Damage
High winds and wet ground can cause branches to snap or whole trees to lean. We make damaged trees safe, remove broken limbs and carry out remedial pruning to prevent further problems.
Overgrown Conifer Screens
Many Petts Wood properties have conifer screens that have grown too tall and too wide. We reduce or remove them completely — tree and stump — to open up the garden again.

Tree Preservation Orders in Petts Wood
Petts Wood has many mature and protected trees. Some are covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and others sit within Conservation Areas, which means you need the council's permission before carrying out any work.
What is a TPO?
A Tree Preservation Order is a legal order made by the council to protect specific trees or woodland. It makes it an offence to cut down, top, lop or damage a protected tree without consent.
Conservation Areas
Trees in Conservation Areas are also protected. You must give the council six weeks' notice before carrying out work, giving them time to decide whether the tree should be protected by a TPO.
How We Help
We can advise you on whether your tree is likely to be protected, explain the process and help you prepare the information you need for the council. We never start work on a protected tree without the correct consent.
