Broadbridge Heath is a village with two very different kinds of gardens. The older streets around Billingshurst Road and Thelton Avenue have mature trees that have grown unchecked for decades, some pressing against fences, blocking light into rear extensions, or sitting heavy over garages and outbuildings. Then there’s Wickhurst Green, built from 2013, where younger gardens are just starting to show the kind of growth that needs managing before it becomes a problem.
Both need tree surgery. The work just looks different.
Tree Marshalls carry out tree surgery across Broadbridge Heath and the surrounding RH12 area. The team is based in Kingsfold, less than two miles away, which means a fast response and no inflated travel costs built into the quote.
What We Carry Out in Broadbridge Heath
Crown reduction is the most frequent job in established village gardens. A tree that was planted thirty or forty years ago can now be significantly overshadowing a house, affecting TV reception, blocking light, or simply making the garden feel smaller than it is. Careful reduction, done properly, keeps the tree healthy and solves the problem without removing a feature that took decades to grow.
We also carry out crown thinning and crown lifting, full tree removal and controlled felling, stump grinding after removal, dead wooding and hazard assessments, and emergency work following storm damage.
Boundary trees are a common source of difficulty in Broadbridge Heath, particularly where gardens back onto the fields and footpaths around the village. If a tree sits on or near a boundary, or if work will affect a neighbouring property, we assess the situation carefully before any cutting begins and advise on what’s needed.
Stumps left after removal are often an afterthought until they become a genuine obstacle. Grinding removes them cleanly below ground level, leaving the area flat and ready for replanting, laying turf, or whatever you have planned for the space. It is worth factoring in at the quoting stage rather than leaving it for later.
Tree Surgery for Newer Properties in Wickhurst Green
Wickhurst Green significantly changed the character of Broadbridge Heath. Around 1,500 homes were built between 2013 and 2016, and the landscaping that went in alongside them is now at the age where it starts to need attention. Young trees that were planted as features in small front gardens have grown faster than expected. Hedgerows along shared boundaries are thickening up. Trees close to driveways, patios, and fences are beginning to cause minor problems that could become bigger ones if left for a few more years.
Early intervention on younger trees is almost always simpler and less expensive than dealing with the same tree once it has outgrown its space entirely. A light crown reduction or a single structural pruning visit at this stage can shape a tree’s growth for the next decade. Our team works on trees of all ages and sizes across Wickhurst Green and the surrounding streets, from straightforward pruning jobs to full removals where a tree has been planted in entirely the wrong place.
Close to You, Not Travelling to You
From Kingsfold, Broadbridge Heath is a short run down the A24. Jobs in the village rarely require more than a morning or afternoon slot. That matters practically. It means the team arrives on time, works efficiently, and isn’t trying to squeeze your job between a longer run to somewhere else.
Tree Marshalls visits in person to quote every residential job. You get a written price before any work is confirmed, and nothing starts until you’re happy with what’s been agreed. There are no surprises on the day and no additions to the price unless something genuinely unexpected comes up, in which case it gets discussed before anything is changed.
What Our Customers Say:
"Tree Marshalls did an excellent job from beginning to end. Punctual, friendly, amenable, thorough, and most importantly, they did exactly what I asked them to do. I wasn't sure if what I wanted could be done in one day, but they did, and then thoroughly tidied up before they left. I have no hesitation recommending Tree Marshalls."

Every job is photographed before and after. The site is cleared before the team leaves, with all timber and green waste chipped or removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Wickhurst Green and the newer parts of Broadbridge Heath?
Yes. We work across all parts of the village, including Wickhurst Green, Charrington Way, Swann Way and the surrounding streets. Newer gardens with younger trees still benefit from early management to prevent problems developing further down the line.
What happens to the wood and green waste after tree surgery?
All material is chipped or removed from the site as part of the job. We don’t leave arisings for you to deal with. If you’d like to keep logs for firewood, just let us know beforehand.
Can you advise if my tree has a preservation order on it?
Yes. If we identify that a tree may be subject to a Tree Preservation Order, we’ll let you know before any work is carried out. Certain work on protected trees requires prior consent from Horsham District Council. We can talk you through the process.
Do you carry out emergency tree surgery in Broadbridge Heath?
Yes. Storm damage, downed branches and unstable trees all need quick attention. Call us directly on 07551 525136, and we’ll assess the situation as quickly as possible, often the same day or the following morning, depending on the time of year.
