Tree Surgeon in Portsmouth
England's only island city, Portsmouth is a historic naval port with dense Victorian terraces, mature park trees and green suburbs stretching out to Cosham and Drayton.
The story behind Portsmouth's trees
Portsmouth was founded in 1180 by the Norman lord Jean de Gisors and formally granted a royal charter by King Richard I in 1194, beginning its long naval history.
Henry VII established the world's first dry dock here in 1495, cementing Portsmouth as the home of the Royal Navy — a role it still holds today.
Nineteenth-century expansion filled Portsea Island with dense terraced streets and grand public parks such as Victoria Park (1878) and Southsea Common, planted with plane, lime and horse chestnut.
Post-war rebuilding and the growth of Cosham, Drayton and Farlington added suburban tree stock — much of it now maturing and needing regular management.
Coastal exposure, dense terraced gardens and mature Victorian park trees mean Portsmouth work often involves tight-access sectional dismantling, hedge reduction and storm response.
