Safety first
Every Branchwalkers job starts on site, face-to-face, with an honest read of what the tree actually needs. We work to the work-at-height hierarchy of risk — from the ground where we can, platform or rope where we can't — a culture that starts with the survey and ends with the site raked clean.
Removal is the last option, never the default. If a tree can be saved with reduction, thinning, or pollarding, that's the route we'll recommend — even when it's more work for us. Sussex canopy deserves keeping.
Ground, platform, or rope — the access method follows the risk assessment, not habit. And when work happens at height it's rigged: friction devices, controlled lowering — not throwing lumps from a height. It's why nothing below the canopy gets broken.
Tree has a TPO? Property in a Conservation Area? Needs a felling licence? We handle the application, write the justification, and correspond with the tree officer. You get told when a decision comes through — you don't touch the council inbox.
Fifteen years working the local canopy — ancient oaks, the seafront elms of the National Elm Collection, conservation-area limes, the veteran pollards on the marshes and the downs. Each species wants a different hand. We know which.
Every enquiry gets a prompt reply. Every quote follows within 48 hours. Every price is written, clear, and comes with a breakdown you can actually compare against others.
Careful back-garden pruning in Hove on Tuesday, DNO line-clearance for UK Power Networks on Wednesday. Same standards, same insurance, same people — scaled to whatever the job is.

Client Reviews

Very happy throughout the whole process. We had a very quick response and good communication from the team. The work was carried out professionally with care taken to surroundings. Would highly recommend!
Excellent, efficient, professional. Best quote. Took care of all the planning application required and kept us informed throughout. Reassuringly meticulous about safety. Fully recommend.
Amazing work by Davey and The team would throughly recommended him
They have done an amazing job under wet, muddy and difficult conditions. I would employ them in the future without hesitation.
Davey made quick work of removing the tree being very careful not to damage fencing or other plants. I was surprised how quickly the large trunk was sawn up and removed. Then the sawdust was blown into one pile to make it easy to pick up. Very pleased.
Great stump grinding service, which very few tree surgeons offer! Got rid of a very old, very large and annoying stump in my lawn. Has made massive difference to my garden!
Excellent service, efficient and very tidy. Joe was really lovely and super hardworking. By far the best priced. Can't recommend them enough! Thanks again to Dave, Joe and everyone at Branchwalkers
Great work done for the price and very professional and friendly guys. I would definitely use them again for any work I need doing. 10/10 all round!
Excellent work. Very self-sufficient team at an excellent price. If the need comes up will definitely use them again.
Service was excellent. They were capable, helpful, friendly and very professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and certainly use them again.
Excellent professional job. Branchwalkers removed some very difficult tree stumps sunk into a shingled front garden. It was very close to the house and so a high risk of damage to the front wall and window. The work was so carefully done that afterwards it seemed as if the stumps had simply vanished. All trace removed, everything left tidy and wall completely unmarked - Thank you Branchwalkers

Routinely. Protected trees and Conservation Area work are part of the regular workload. We're familiar with the paperwork, the local authority processes, and the conditions usually attached to consents.
All arisings are chipped and recycled for biomass — nothing to landfill that doesn't need to be. If you want usable timber left as firewood, say so at quote stage and we'll stack it for you.
Yes. A single overhanging branch on a terraced house is as welcome as a multi-day clearance on a ten-acre plot. Same crew, same care, same standards — sized to the job.
