From large commercial contracts to small domestic jobs, we have the skills, knowledge, and machinery to take on any job no matter how big or small. 

Tree Removal and Felling

While we will do everything within our power to preserve the health of your tree, unfortunately, in some cases there is no other option but to remove the tree to ground level. This is called tree felling. 

If space and conditions allow, this can be done from the ground, but more often than not the tree will need to be accessed by one of our climbing arborists and dismantled carefully piece by piece avoiding obstacles such as sheds, fences, or buildings using up to date rigging techniques. If you have a tree in Hove that you think it needs to be removed then please don’t hesitate to get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote. 

Tree Pruning

For the health of your trees, it is important to keep them pruned to avoid certain diseases and to minimise the risk of damage from high winds and storms which can be commonplace around Hove. 

Pruning will also help keep your trees the right size and shape for their surroundings whilst making them far more aesthetically pleasing. 

Incorrect pruning can weaken the structure of a tree and provide access to pests and diseases so it is important to have your trees pruned by a qualified arborist.

There are several types of pruning including pollarding, crown thinning, crown reductions, crown lifting, and formative pruning.

Hedge Cutting

Whether it’s an initial formative prune which is carried out on young hedges and encourages bushy growth or a regular maintenance trim, here at Maplewood we have the correct equipment and knowledge to understand your hedge and carry out the work needed to the best possible standard. 

By keeping your hedges regularly maintained the hedges begin to look neat and full and this reduces the need to have them cut them back heavily.

Whether it is a light trim or a full hedge reduction we have the knowledge, skills, and equipment to do the best job possible. 

If you think your hedge might need cutting then please don’t hesitate to get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote. 

Stump treatment and removal

Stumps left from previously felled trees can be awkward, unsightly, and dangerous.

At Maplewood Tree Surgery, we have all the necessary machinery to grind any size stump away leaving the area ready for replanting or landscaping. In more delicate or confined areas we can use smaller machines to remove stumps or treat stumps with glyphosate-based herbicide plugs. Therefore we ensure no unwanted re-growth from vigorous tree species.

Storm damaged trees

With high winds and extreme weather conditions that can take place in Hove and the surrounding areas sometimes your trees can suffer as a result. This can be in the form of failed limbs or in the worst-case scenario an uprooted tree. 

Storm-damaged trees can be a danger to people who come into close proximity to the tree, this could be the occupants of a property or the general public. It is the tree owner's responsibility to monitor the health and state of a tree and this is especially important before during and after extreme weather conditions. 

Emergency call out service

We offer a 24hr call out service so if you are concerned about your tree please don’t hesitate to get in touch no matter what time of day.
