Horley gardens are mostly town plots, with tall hedges, trees that have outgrown the space and old stumps left behind. Most of our Horley jobs are tree removal, crown reductions, hedge cutting and stump grinding, plus 24/7 callouts after storms. We work all over town, from Horley Row and Meath Green up to Langshott and Westvale Park. Michael checks if a Horley tree is protected or in a conservation area, and if consent is needed, the application is yours to make.

The work in Horley is mostly town gardens: Langshott and Court Lodge, Meath Green and Horley Row, and out to Hookwood on the airport edge. Mature oaks, garden conifers that have got away, and hedges that have had years to thicken.
So the jobs here are the everyday ones we do from our own yard: crown reductions on trees that have grown over a roof or blocked the light, sectional dismantles where gardens sit tight against the house, and hedges brought back within the green. Being based in town means no travel time on the quote and a same-day response when a tree comes down in a storm.
When a tree in Horley has to come down, we take it down safely: a straight fell where there is room, or a sectional dismantle, taking it down in pieces, where the garden sits tight against the house, a fence or the neighbours. Before any cut Michael checks whether the tree is protected, and the timber, brash and waste all leave with us. If you want the stump gone as well, we can grind it out below ground level; just say when we quote. See how we fell trees safely or read more about tree removal.
An old stump trips people up, sends up suckers and gets in the way of the lawn or patio you actually want there. We grind out stumps across Horley, whether they are left from our own tree removals or ones other people left behind years ago. Our grinders fit through a standard garden gate and along side passages, and we grind well below the surface, typically 150 to 300mm down, then leave the chippings as mulch or take them away and backfill the hole. Send a photo of the stump on WhatsApp and we will price it from that, or read more about stump grinding and tree stump removal.
Front hedges, long boundary runs and hedges that have had years to thicken: we trim, reshape and cut back hedges across Horley, as a one-off cut or regular upkeep, with every cutting cleared away. Wild birds' nests are protected while they are being built or in use, so we check each hedge for active nests before we start and leave that section alone until the young have fledged. More on our hedge cutting and trimming.
Crown reductions on trees that have grown over a roof or blocked the light, crown thinning, crown lifting, deadwood removal and pollarding, each cut chosen to keep the tree healthy and in shape. See crown reduction and tree work and pruning.
Overgrown gardens and plots cleared back to workable ground: brambles, ivy, scrub and green waste removed and disposed of properly. More on garden and site clearance.

The things people in Horley ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.
It depends on the size and species of the tree and how much you want taken off, so we price each crown reduction in Horley on site rather than guess. Reductions are skilled, repeat work, and because we climb and rig wherever we can rather than hire in access, our quotes stay keen. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Sometimes. Trees in Horley can be covered by a Tree Preservation Order or sit inside a conservation area, and work then needs consent from Reigate & Banstead Borough Council. We check before quoting and tell you if you need to apply for permission, so nothing is felled or pruned until it is allowed.
All of it: Langshott, Court Lodge, Meath Green, Horley Row and out to Hookwood by the Gatwick edge. The next villages along the A23 and toward Tandridge have their own pages; this page is Horley itself. Anywhere in town, you are on our doorstep.
Fast, because we are based here. Quote visits are usually within a day or two, and most jobs are booked in within a couple of weeks depending on the season. For anything dangerous, a split limb or a tree leaning after a storm, call 07519 952330 and we will come out the same day.
It depends on the size of the tree, how easy it is to reach and how much waste needs taking away, so we quote each job properly rather than guess. Quotes are free and without obligation, and because we are based in Horley we can usually come and look within a day or two.
It depends on the size and species of the tree, how easy it is to get to and how much waste there is to clear, so we price every tree removal in Horley on site rather than guess. Taking the waste away is always part of the job, and stump grinding can be added if you want the stump gone too. Quotes are free and without obligation.
It depends on the size of the stump, whether it has several stems and how easy it is to reach with the grinder, so we price each one rather than guess. The quickest way is to send a photo of the stump on WhatsApp to 07519 952330 and we will price it from that; otherwise we can usually come and look within a day or two. Quotes are free.
Yes, with care around nesting birds. Wild birds' nests are protected by law while they are being built or in use, so we check every hedge for active nests before we start cutting and leave any section with an active nest until the young have fledged. We prefer to plan heavier cutting back for autumn and winter, outside the main nesting season.
Yes. A single overgrown conifer, one hedge that has got away, a dead branch over the drive: small jobs are a big part of our week around Horley, and being local means we can often fit them in between larger work rather than making you wait.
In most cases, yes. You are entitled to prune overhanging branches back to your boundary, provided the tree is not protected by a Tree Preservation Order or conservation area rules, and the cuttings technically belong to the tree's owner. We check the tree's status first and do the work tidily so it does not start a dispute.
Every time. Brash is chipped, timber is logged and everything is cleared from the garden before we leave, and it is all included in the quote. If you would like the logs for a wood burner or the chippings as mulch, just say and we will leave them stacked neatly.
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency callouts for storm-damaged, fallen or dangerous trees across Horley and the surrounding villages. Call 07519 952330 at any hour and we will make the site safe first, then sort the full removal or tidy-up once the urgency has passed.
Yes, with the right precautions. Roadside work in Horley is planned with proper signage and, where needed, traffic management. Trees near overhead power lines are assessed first and the work is coordinated with the network operator's rules. We will always tell you if a job needs that extra planning.
“The recent Storms had caused a large conifer tree in the rear of our property to lean posing a risk of damage to our recently refurbished extension. Michael and his team arrived and dismantled the tree with extreme precision and left our garden clean and tidy definitely will be using them again at our property.”
“Great job, Micheal and team were quick, and cleaned up well.Will be using them again.”
“Brilliant work by Michael and his team, arrived on site on time and left the place tidy. Would highly recommend them”
