Tree Felling & Removal

The Garden Tamer undertakes the removal of trees in small sections or by straight felling. Whilst we always aim to retain trees where possible, sometimes it is necessary to remove them. This could be because they are unsuitable for the space they are currently in, or because they pose a threat to nearby buildings.

Tree Pollarding

This is a heavy form of pruning where tree surgeons remove the upper branches, promoting dense foliage and primarily used as a way to maintain trees at a certain height. Not all trees are suitable for pollarding, and our specialist team will always advise on the best options for each site in Godalming and Guildford.

Crown Reduction

Branches are cut back to an appropriate length and growth point, controlling the height and spread of trees. We maintain a pleasing and natural shape, as well as ensuring a suitable size for the environment.

Crown Thinning

By selectively removing branches, we increase light penetration and air movement without affecting the natural size and shape of trees. Thinning includes the removal of dead wood and lowers the chances of a tree falling in high winds. It can also help slow down growth rate.

Regular thinning helps customers avoid unnecessary crown reductions and our experienced team advise on the appropriate level.

Stump Removal

There are several ways to remove tree stumps if they are too large to dig out by hand. A stump grinder is an effective tool that we regularly use to remove stumps and their roots. It is also possible to poison tree stumps, after which they slowly decay over time.

Tree & Shrub Pruning

Adopting a variety of techniques, our tree surgeons offer regular, considerate pruning to prolong the life and appearance of plants.
