    Highly Recommended Tree Surgeon

    Posted 22 December 2025

    Stephen provided knowledgeable advice about the work I required on 3 large trees, followed by a clear and competitive quote. He and his team arrived exactly on time, and were very polite and friendly. The work they performed was exactly as discussed to an excellent standard, including cleaning everything up after the work was completed. I would highly recommend them without hesitation.

    Quick, efficient, effective and tidy!

    Posted 20 November 2025

    I used this company to prune back an out of control cherry tree, deal with a neglected lawn area and cut back an area of mixed trees and hedges. I highly recommend--efficient, quick workers. Nice guys and, best of all, superb clearing up!! You wouldn't know they had been there, apart from the transformed garden.

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.
