About J Carley Tree Surgery & Groundworks
At J Carley Tree Surgery & Groundworks, we’re proud to be a trusted, family-run business serving communities across East Sussex and Kent. Founded by Jake Carley, who has over 12 years of hands-on experience, the company has grown into a small but dedicated team known for combining professional expertise with a friendly, personal touch.
Our Story
Jake started out working in tree surgery and garden services over a decade ago, learning his trade at a well respected firm and developing a strong passion for outdoor work and an eye for detail. What began as helping local homeowners with small jobs has now grown into a respected business offering a wide range of services, from tree surgery, hedge cutting, and stump removal to groundworks, landscaping, and garden transformations.
Despite this growth, our values have stayed the same: hard work, honesty, reliability, and pride in every job we do. We never cut corners, and we treat every garden as if it were our own.
Our Team
We may be a small team, but that’s our strength. Each member of the team is friendly, approachable, and highly skilled, bringing care and attention to every project. Working together, we complete jobs safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
Our clients often tell us they value not just the quality of our work, but the way we communicate, turn up on time, and leave their properties neat and tidy. For us, it’s about building long-term relationships as much as delivering results.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to serve our local community and grateful for the trust our customers place in us. Whether it’s a simple hedge trim, a complex tree removal, or preparing the ground for a new garden project, our goal is always the same: to leave you with results you can enjoy for years to come.
A Message from Jake
“I’m so proud of the small team we’ve built here. Every day we get to work outdoors, helping the lovely people of East Sussex and Kent improve their gardens and properties. We genuinely enjoy what we do, and I think that shows in the results. For me, it’s not just a job, it’s a passion and a privilege. The best part is meeting new people, building trust, and knowing we’ve made a real difference to their homes.” Jake Carley, Founder
