Tree Surgeon in Haywards Heath
From the mature gardens around Muster Green to the modern estates at Bolnore Village, we provide tree surgery and garden services across all of Haywards Heath.
Tree Surgeons in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath has some of the finest mature gardens in Mid Sussex. The Victorian and Edwardian properties around Muster Green and The Heath conservation areas sit in large, well-established grounds with specimen trees — copper beeches, limes, horse chestnuts, and oaks that are often 100 years old or more. These trees need careful, skilled management to keep them healthy and safe.
The town also borders Ashenground and Bolnore Woods, a 36-acre ancient woodland that creates a leafy backdrop to many properties on the western side. Trees at the boundary of gardens and woodland can become a concern when limbs overhang roofs or block light. We regularly carry out crown reductions and crown lifts on these boundary trees to give homeowners their light back without harming the tree.
At the other end of the spectrum, the newer developments at Bolnore Village have young trees that are starting to need their first prune. Getting the shape right when a tree is young avoids bigger problems later. Whether it’s a 150-year-old oak in a Muster Green garden or a recently planted cherry at Bolnore, we treat every tree with the same care.
How We Help Haywards Heath Homeowners
Haywards Heath is the administrative centre of Mid Sussex and has a population of over 30,000. The mix of large period properties, suburban family homes, and newer developments means we handle everything from delicate crown reductions on TPO-protected specimen trees to straightforward garden clearance. The ancient woodland at Ashenground also means we’re often dealing with trees at the garden-woodland interface.
Crown Reduction
Tree getting too big? We’ll reduce its height and spread without ruining its shape. You get more light, less worry about branches, and a tree that still looks natural.
Learn More Tree Felling & Removal
Got a tree that needs to come down? We remove trees of any size, even in tight spots next to buildings, fences, or power lines. Everything cleared away and your garden left clean.

Stump Grinding
Left with an ugly stump? We grind it out below ground level so you can turf over it, plant something new, or just have your garden back.
Learn MoreTree Preservation Orders in Haywards Heath
If a tree on your property has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you must apply for permission before carrying out any work. Applications are free and can be submitted online via the Mid Sussex e-form or through the national Planning Portal. The council has up to 8 weeks to make a decision. For dead or dangerous TPO trees, a Five Day Notice must be submitted before work can start. You can check whether a tree is protected using the council’s interactive TPO map, where green markers indicate confirmed TPOs and blue hatching shows conservation areas.
If your property is within a conservation area, you must give 6 weeks’ written notice to the council before cutting down, topping, or lopping any tree with a trunk diameter over 75 mm (measured at 1.5 m above ground). This notice is submitted using the same form as TPO applications. The council uses the 6-week period to decide whether to place a TPO on the tree. If you do not hear back within 6 weeks, the work may proceed. Mid Sussex has 36 designated conservation areas, including areas in Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Cuckfield, Lindfield, Hurstpierpoint, and Keymer.

Removing trees prior to fence installation
Excellent professional work done by Antony as usual (he has done several jobs for us before). Very polite and friendly, and all work done with minimum of fuss. He surveyed the job beforehand, priced it up very competitively and undertook the work as specified. Would recommend him to anyone needing tree work.
Removal of 4 tall trees in a difficult position behind an outbuilding
Antony and Benjamin did a superb job in difficult conditions due to access. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were punctual, friendly, completed the job to an excellent standard and tidied up very well. We will definitely have them back to remove various tree stumps in due course.
