Your local tree surgeons

Dorking gardens are often on a slope, and on the south side of town many back onto woodland. Most of our work here is felling, crown reductions, hedge cutting, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency callouts. We cover the town, from West Street and Vincent Lane across to Deepdene Avenue and Tower Hill. We won't touch a protected tree unchecked: Michael confirms it, and applying stays with you.

What we do

From a single limb to a whole plot cleared, one team and one number. Tap a service for the detail.

Protected trees: Protected trees in Dorking are dealt with by Mole Valley District Council. Work on a tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs the council's permission, and a tree in a conservation area needs six weeks' notice. We'll check your tree's status before we quote and tell you if you need to apply. You make any application yourself.

The trees round here

South of the town centre, gardens run up into woodland and the trees in them get big. If one is coming out we grind the stump as well, so it does not sprout again. A big tree near the house usually needs a reduction or a crown lift rather than felling.

Gardens on a slope need more care. We take trees down in sections and lower the pieces on ropes rather than dropping them downhill. Closer to the centre the plots are smaller, and the jobs are hedges, conifers and trees that have got too big for the space.

FAQ

The things people around Dorking ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.

How much does tree felling cost in Dorking?

It depends on the size of the tree, the slope and how much room there is to bring it down. We look first, agree exactly what is coming down and give you a written price with the clear-up included. Quotes are free.

Can you take a tree down in a sloping garden?

Yes. On a slope we climb and take the tree down in sections, lowering each piece on a rope so nothing rolls into a fence or the house below. If climbing is not the safe option, we tell you what we would do instead.

Do I need permission for tree work in Dorking?

Sometimes. Mole Valley District Council protects some trees with Tree Preservation Orders, and Dorking has conservation areas where tree work needs six weeks' notice. We check your tree's status before we quote and tell you if you need to apply. You make any application yourself.

Do you grind out stumps in Dorking?

Yes. The grinder fits through a normal garden gate and takes the stump down below the surface. Some trees grow back from the stump, so grinding it out is often worth doing.

Do you cut hedges in Dorking?

Yes. We cut laurel, beech, privet, yew and conifer hedges to the height and line you want and take every clipping away. We check for nesting birds first and leave any occupied part until the young have flown.

Which parts of Dorking do you cover?

The town, from West Street and Vincent Lane across to Deepdene Avenue and Tower Hill. Reigate is on our Reigate page, and the villages nearer Gatwick, such as Hookwood, are on our Hookwood page.

Do you do emergency tree work in Dorking?

Yes, 24/7. If a tree or limb comes down on a roof, car or road, call 07519 952330 at any hour. We make it safe first, then come back to clear up.
