From start to finish Steve and Ben listened to and carried out the whole job as requested. Not an easy task as their stump grinder had to be muscled through the house with mm to spare. Steve arranged this on a dry day and between them I think all they dislodged was a spider. Thick laurel hedge, and overgrown bushes were soon cut down and all stumps removed to the required depth. Steve and Bens brute force soon dug out five foot bamboo. I doubt very much it will regrow. After they left I went out with a broom to find the road and everything spotless. I recommend them both whole- heartedly.Verified reviewerJob location: BA1110 Excellent, quick and efficient service

Stephen and his team removed a troublesome cherry tree and some small pines. They were very quick and efficient and tidied up after. They went over and above cutting the trunk into manageable logs as I wanted to keep them and chopping a big root so I can landscape later. Excellent service.Verified reviewerJob location: BS3910 Highly recommended tree surgeon professional and friendly

Job location: BA3They arrived on time and were very pleasant to talk to. They got to work fast and completed the stump grinding in a morning. It was a large Ash stump about four feet or so at it's widest. It was removed and the area tidied up and I now have a good level place to lay turf. I shall use them again if I have need.10 Highly professional and skilled team

We had a very large tree reduced by around 25% and a smaller tree that was overhanging the house taken down to ground level. The end result was better than we could possibly have hoped for. Stephen, Ben and Alex completed a very sympathetic reshaping, chipping the offcuts and cleaning up to leave the site immaculate. The fallen tree was left on site in rings as arranged. I would recommend SJ Farley to anyone needed a tree surgeon and we'll definitely ask them back to reduce another large tree next winter.Verified reviewerJob location: SN1110 Reliable, accommodating and tidy

2 silver birch trees and a horse chestnut tree trimmed back. Pitched up when they said they would, completed the job in the day, tidied up and left the chippings and logs as my wife requested.Verified reviewerJob location: BA14

With 20 years experience in the trade, myself and the team at S J Farley assure you of professionally planned and safely carried out tree and hedge services to suit your needs.
We are a small local business with skilled and experienced climbers and groundsmen led by myself, Stephen Farley. I attended Pulborough College in 2003 where I gained all the necessary qualifications. I have since studied additional units with City and Guilds in order to enhance and update my knowledge and skills.
In the past, I have been lucky enough to travel to Australia and New Zealand to work abroad. Here, I had the opportunity to work on very large trees. This experience, as well as carrying out many complex jobs here in the UK, has given me the confidence to tackle challenging jobs under challenging conditions.
S J Farley offer free quotations for any job big or small. Many of our customers are return customers and we always receive positive verbal feedback about the ease, efficiency and friendliness of service provided. I have recently joined Checkatrade to enable customers to document this feedback for the benefit of others looking for tree and hedge services that they can trust. All feedback is welcome and we really appreciate the time taken to review us.
