From mature garden trees near Central Park to boundary hedges in Wilmington, Dartford properties often need skilled arboricultural care. Fine Landscaping provides tree felling, crown reduction, pruning and tree planting with safety at the forefront. We also handle stump removal and hedge work to keep gardens usable and light-filled. If a storm brings down limbs near the Dartford Crossing routes, our emergency call-out helps you secure the site quickly.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means access and tree spacing can vary street by street. In DA1 and DA2, we regularly work in tight rear gardens, shared drives and newer plots with close boundaries. We tailor pruning and reductions to protect neighbouring fences, sheds and conservatories. Where trees are close to buildings or power lines, we use controlled dismantling and rigging to minimise risk.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, targets, access and waste removal, then provide a clear written quote. Our team works to recognised safety standards, using the right equipment for clean cuts and controlled lowering. All arisings can be chipped and removed, leaving your garden tidy and ready to use. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Across Dartford Borough we often encounter mixed soil, from compacted ground on newer estates to older garden beds around period homes. Parking and access can be limited near busier routes and shopping areas, so we plan chipper position, waste loading and neighbour notifications in advance. We also factor in nearby footpaths, schools and public spaces when setting exclusion zones. Where council constraints apply, we help check protections before work starts.

Costs vary with tree size, access, waste removal and whether rigging is required. As a guide in the tree contractors Dartford area: small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, crown reductions typically £350–£900, and sectional felling commonly £600–£1,800+. Stump grinding is often £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Emergency call-outs can add a premium, especially out of hours.
Many pruning or hedge jobs can be completed in 2–4 hours, while a crown reduction on a medium tree is often a half day. Larger dismantles with lowering, multiple stems or restricted access can take 1–2 days. Timescales depend on tree height, proximity to buildings, waste volume, and whether we can get equipment close. We’ll confirm an expected duration after the site survey.
Most routine garden tree work doesn’t need permission, but some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area. If that applies, you may need council consent before felling or major pruning. We can help you identify likely constraints and advise what paperwork is needed. If you’re unsure, we recommend checking early to avoid delays or enforcement issues.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the service, covering issues caused by poor practice or incorrect installation (for example, problems with newly planted trees or remedial works we’ve specified). Tree biology and extreme weather can’t be guaranteed, but we only recommend appropriate pruning and planting methods to reduce risk. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to support healthy regrowth.
We can plant a wide range of suitable species, from ornamental flowering trees to small, low-maintenance varieties for compact gardens. For pruning, options include crown reduction, crown lifting, thinning and formative pruning for younger trees. Finishes can include stump grinding for turfing, replanting or paving, plus hedge reshaping and clearance. We’ll recommend choices based on light levels, soil conditions, future growth and your maintenance preferences.
