Why opt to use our Puttenham tree surgeons?

At DH Tree Services, we provide fully indemnified, expert tree care in accordance with BS3998. We take pride in maintaining the highest industry certifications.

Our team blends technical surgery with aesthetic garden consultancy. We can manage the entire lifecycle of your trees, so your outdoor space remains looking great for decades.

Drawing on years of local experience, we navigate the complexities of Waverley Borough Council regulations, handling Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and Conservation Area applications on your behalf.

We are environmentally conscious. All organic debris is repurposed into seasoned logs or nutrient-rich mulch, and our specialists can advise on which species, like the native English Oak or Silver Birch, will flourish best in Godalming’s specific sandy or clay soils.

Site safety is our paramount concern, supported by risk assessments. We operate in strict accordance with ecological guidelines to safeguard nesting birds and local wildlife in Surrey.

Domestic tree care in Godalming, GU7

DH Tree Services is your local authority for comprehensive plant health. Our NPTC-certified staff utilises the most contemporary methods to achieve superior results while protecting the local ecosystem.

Crown lifting

Crown lifting means removing lower branches to make more e space below the canopy of the tree. This is essential for vehicles to safely access narrow lanes like Frith Hill and for pedestrians to pass safely on public footways.

Dismantling & tree felling

For trees in restricted spaces, such as Victorian walled gardens or properties near The Croft, we use controlled sectional dismantling. This involves lowering the timber piece by piece to avoid any impact on your home or outbuildings.

Hedge trimming

We excel at maintaining hedges, arriving at the right time of year to deliver a sharp, clean finish that promotes healthy, dense growth.

Canopy reduction & thinning

We perform crown reductions to manage a tree’s overall size and thinning to selectively remove internal branches. This increases light penetration to your lawn and reduces the sail effect during high winds.

Stump grinding

We use specialised machinery to grind stumps deep below the surface to prevent regrowth. Alternatively, we apply eco-plugs in sensitive areas where mechanical grinding isn't suitable.

Tree planting

We manage tree planting and the introduction of new trees, selecting the perfect species for your specific micro-climate and providing the necessary aftercare to ensure successful establishment.

Godalming tree care FAQs for homeowners and landlords

Do I need permission to chop back or take down my tree?

If your tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or happens to be in a Conservation Area, you’ll need to get permission from the council first. We’ll handle all that paperwork and applications for you, free of charge, as part of our service.

How do I choose a good tree surgeon?

Just check a few basics – make sure your arborist is NPTC- qualified, does BS3998 work, has decent insurance and can provide a proper written quote – all the standard stuff that we do here at DH Tree Services.

Will you take away all the rubbish and clean up?

Yes, we do that. Our ‘zero to landfill’ policy means we remove all the debris, rake the area clean, and recycle the rest into lovely logs or wood chips for the local community to enjoy.

Do you do 24/7 emergency callouts?

Yes, we do – we’ve got a dedicated emergency service running 24 hours a day across Surrey, so if you’ve got a storm-damaged tree, or one that’s fallen across your property, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
