Trees are a valuable part of any property and the wider landscape. However, they also need regular care to remain healthy, safe, and in proportion with their surroundings. Overgrown, damaged, or diseased trees can pose a serious risk to buildings, fences, power lines, and people. That is where our qualified tree surgery team comes in. We assess every tree individually, recommend the most appropriate course of action, and carry out the work with precision and care.

Our Tree Surgery Services

Tree Felling — When a tree has outgrown its space, become structurally unsafe, or is simply unwanted, we carry out controlled tree felling with meticulous attention to safety. We use sectional dismantling techniques in confined spaces, ensuring no damage to surrounding structures, fences, or planting. All timber and debris is removed, and your garden is left tidy.

Crown Reduction — Crown reduction involves carefully shortening the branches of a tree to reduce its overall size while maintaining a natural, balanced shape. This is one of the most common tree surgery operations we perform, ideal for trees that have grown too large for their setting or are blocking light to gardens and windows. We follow BS 3998 guidelines on all pruning work.

Crown Thinning — Crown thinning removes a proportion of smaller, secondary branches throughout the crown to allow more light through and reduce wind resistance. It is an excellent option when you want to retain the tree's size but improve light penetration to lawns, flower beds, and the rooms below.

Crown Lifting — We remove lower branches to increase the clearance beneath the canopy. Crown lifting is commonly carried out to allow better access beneath the tree, to let more light reach ground level, or to clear overhanging paths, driveways, and roads.

Pruning & Shaping — Regular pruning keeps trees healthy, removes dead or crossing branches, and improves structure. We prune all species of tree — from ornamental garden trees to large mature oaks, limes, and chestnuts — using industry-standard techniques that promote strong, healthy regrowth.

Pollarding — Pollarding is a method of pruning that keeps trees at a controlled size by cutting branches back to the main trunk or to a framework of permanent branches. It is commonly used on willows, limes, and London planes, and is ideal where space is limited or where annual maintenance is preferred.

Stump Grinding — After felling a tree, the remaining stump can be an eyesore and an obstacle. Our stump grinding service removes the stump to below ground level, allowing you to replant, turf, or pave over the area. We use specialist narrow-access stump grinding machines that can fit through garden gates and into tight spaces.

Dead Wood Removal — Dead branches are unsightly and, more importantly, dangerous. They can fall without warning, especially during high winds or storms. We remove dead wood from throughout the crown to keep your tree safe and looking its best.

Emergency Tree Work — Storms, high winds, and heavy snow can cause trees to fall or shed large branches without warning. If you have a fallen tree blocking a driveway, resting on a roof, or posing an immediate danger, we offer a rapid emergency call-out service across Surrey. Call us any time on 07745 145433.

Tree Preservation Orders & Conservation Areas

Many trees in East Molesey, Esher, Cobham, and other parts of Elmbridge and Kingston are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or are located within Conservation Areas. If a tree on your property is protected, you will need formal consent from your local council before any work can be carried out. The Green Outdoors can advise you on whether your tree is likely to be protected, and we can help you prepare and submit the necessary applications to the council on your behalf. We have extensive experience navigating the planning process across Elmbridge Borough Council, Kingston Borough Council, and other local authorities in Surrey.

Working on a protected tree without permission is a criminal offence that can result in significant fines. When you choose The Green Outdoors, you can be confident that every job is carried out in full compliance with the law and to the highest arboricultural standards.
