I would highly recommend Timber Tongs. They carried out a excellent job in my small garden, removing three large Oak trees, in a small amount of space, this was due to the close proximity of not only the trees, which had grown close to each other but other residential properties.
Their skills and knowledge were certainly put to the test and they dismantled the trees with accuracy, planning and diligence .
They were punctual, worked relentlessly hard and every day left the surrounding shared grounds tidy and free of any debris.
They are true professionals in every sense of the word.

We used Timber Tongs to remove a very large conifer tree at the bottom of our garden. From start to finish, they were very professional and friendly. The job its self was very awkward, being right in the corner up against two concrete fence posts. They left the garden area very tidy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone . More...

Such a pleasure to see professional tree surgeon Pete Tong at work. Before he began topping a huge fir tree obscuring our sea view, Pete checked thoroughly to ensure there were no birds nesting. With that assurance, the tree was reshaped and reduced. We now have a beautiful sea view. As they say:”It’s all gone, Pete Tong!” Thanks Pete. See you next time. Chris and Aileen, Brighton. More...

I cannot recommend Pete highly enough. He removed three trees from our back garden and cut back a couple of others. Throughout my dealings with him he was a complete professional, timely, friendly, knowledgeable and offered excellent value for money for the work completed.

Pete was excellent from the moment I contacted him to the completion of the work. He came to see the job and proposed a very reasonable price. On the day, he was prompt, efficient and extremely organised. I would recommend him without hesitation. More...

First of Pete really is one of those chaps that is genuine, honest and very hard working.
We had a huge 80ft oak which was diseased and near the house plus a huge oak to the rear requiring reduction.
Pete turned up bright and early with a team of three plus himself and they did the whole lot in one day.
Returned the following day to grind the stump and clear away he also continued to grind other stumps on the property until he ran out of daylight.
I highly recommend Pete and would not hesitate to use him again.
100% 5 star (out of 5 stars)
Thank you Pete.

We had a great experience with Timber Tongs. Pete trimmed a large, out-of-shape Pittosporum which had got out of hand. He did a fantastic job, and left the garden tidier than when he arrived! We can highly recommend him. Thanks Pete (and Catherine!). More...

Tree pruning
From formative pruning on younger trees and fruit trees to larger scale activity on bigger deciduous and, in some cases, coniferous trees.
This includes crown thinning, crown raising and crown reduction in line with British Standard 3998: 2010 Recommendations for Tree Work.
We can help you determine what approach is best for your needs and the health of your trees.
Tree felling
Removing trees as the last option when required, in a safe, controlled manner.
Normally through a straight fell from the ground where space permits or sectional felling in smaller pieces, often lowered to the ground with rigging ropes, where there is more limited access around the tree.
Coppicing & Pollarding
Managing the trees for ongoing harvest in a traditional manner, allowing them to regenerate from their stump or 'stool' in the case of coppicing. Often seen with Hazel, Sweet Chestnut, Willow and Birch.
Pollarding follows a similar logic but at a higher level from the ground where 'knuckles' are developed in younger trees at the points from which the new growth is subsequently managed.
Stump grinding
Hedge services
From planting to pruning, trimming and general tidy up
Storm damage
From dangerous hanging branches to fallen trees or blocked paths
