Meet Antony Geer — the arborist behind AG Garden & Tree

Tree surgery in Sussex isn't a call centre and a crew you've never met. When you call AG Garden & Tree, you speak to Antony — the qualified arborist who'll quote your job, climb your tree, and leave your garden spotless.

The story

20 years looking after Sussex’s trees and gardens.

Antony started in arboriculture in 2006 and set up AG Garden & Tree in 2008. Twenty years on, the business is still built the same way: one qualified arborist you deal with directly, honest fixed quotes, and tree work done properly to BS 3998 — the British Standard for tree work.

Based in Hassocks, West Sussex, Antony works across Mid Sussex and the surrounding towns and villages — from Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath to Brighton and the South Downs villages. Most work comes from repeat customers and recommendations, and you can read what they say in our Google reviews.

Trees with a Tree Preservation Order or in a conservation area? Antony handles the council paperwork for you and agrees a plan that keeps the tree healthy and the council happy. Storm damage at 2am? The phone gets answered.

Antony is also a qualified tree inspector. He holds the Lantra Professional Tree Inspection certificate and carries out tree inspections and written reports for homeowners, landlords, schools and businesses.
