Tree Surgery and Pruning in Norfolk and Suffolk
Crown reduction, thinning and safe removal across Norfolk and Suffolk
Hilton & Green Landscaping is a landscaping business based in Norfolk, carrying out tree surgery and pruning across Norfolk and Suffolk.
We carry out crown reduction, crown thinning, deadwooding, formative pruning and tree removal for domestic customers across Norfolk and Suffolk. Tree work needs to be planned properly and carried out safely, so we assess every tree before quoting and discuss what the right course of action is before any work starts.
Our approach is to do what is right for the tree as well as what meets your needs. A well-managed tree is an asset. We will always tell you honestly whether reduction, thinning or removal is the appropriate solution rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
All tree work is planned with access, neighbouring property and disposal in mind. We chip brash on site and remove everything before we leave.

How we work
-
Tree assessment
We visit and assess the tree, looking at size, species, health and what work is appropriate. We discuss what you want to achieve and give you honest advice about what is possible.
-
Work planning
We check whether the tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits in a Conservation Area. We will advise you to confirm this with your local authority before we proceed if there is any doubt. We plan the sequence of work, access and disposal.
-
Safe execution
Work is carried out with appropriate equipment. Ground staff clear brash as the climber works. We take care around neighbouring property and gardens.
-
Chip removal and tidy
Chippings are removed or, where the customer prefers, left as mulch. The site is cleared and left tidy.
Materials and Options
Tree Preservation Orders protect individual trees and woodlands where the local authority considers them to have amenity value. Working on or removing a TPO tree without consent is a criminal offence. If your tree might be protected, check with the local planning authority before booking any work. Trees in Conservation Areas also need prior notification for significant work. We can advise you on the process but the responsibility sits with the property owner. Timing matters for some pruning work. Many fruit trees are best pruned in late winter while they are dormant. Structural pruning of amenity trees can usually be done any time of year, but we try to avoid disturbing active bird nesting between March and August where possible.
Common questions
What is tree surgery?
Tree surgery, also known as arboriculture, involves the care and management of trees, including pruning, trimming, and removal. Certified professionals assess the health of the trees and make informed decisions regarding the appropriate level of intervention needed to ensure their health and safety.
How often should I prune my trees?
The frequency of tree pruning depends on the species and age of the tree. Generally, young trees should be pruned annually to shape them, while older trees may need pruning every few years to remove dead or diseased branches. Consulting with our professionals will provide tailored advice for your specific trees.
What are the benefits of tree pruning?
Pruning helps to eliminate dead or disease-ridden branches, encourages healthy growth, improves light penetration, and enhances the overall aesthetic of your garden. Moreover, it can reduce the risk of falling branches that could potentially harm your property and loved ones.
Can I prune my trees myself?
While some light pruning can be done by homeowners, it's advisable to seek professional help for larger trees or complex pruning tasks. Our team is trained to handle the risks associated with tree surgery and can use the appropriate equipment for safety.
What should I look for in a tree surgeon?
When hiring a tree surgeon, ensure they are qualified and hold relevant certifications. Look for experience in tree care, positive reviews, and a good understanding of local regulations regarding tree removal and surgery.
Are your tree surgeons fully qualified?
Yes, our team of tree surgeons is fully qualified and trained in various tree care and surgery techniques. We follow all safety regulations and best practices to ensure that all work is carried out safely and efficiently.
Do you provide follow-up care after surgery?
Yes, we believe in comprehensive care. After any tree surgery work, we provide follow-up assessments and recommendations to ensure the ongoing health and safety of your trees and landscape. This can include tree health checks and advice on maintenance.

Ben and Ed at Hilton & Green have done amazing and difficult landscaping jobs for me in the past few years, from erecting a fence close to the house in a challenging setting, to a transformational soft landscaping project at the rear of the sloping garden. The guys are very professional and the results are stunning. I highly recommend Hilton & Green for your landscaping requirements.
