If a tree is overhanging, storm-damaged or simply outgrowing your garden, we can help with practical, safety-first tree care. We regularly work across DA1 and DA2, including jobs near Central Park and around Greenhithe. Our service covers everything from selective pruning to full tree felling, with careful protection of lawns, borders and nearby structures. You’ll get straightforward recommendations based on the condition and species of your tree.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments often means tighter side access, smaller rear gardens and close boundaries. We plan lifts, rigging and waste removal to suit each property layout, whether you’re in Wilmington or Stone. For modern plots, we focus on controlled reductions that keep light and privacy balanced. For period homes, we’re mindful of mature trees that add character but need regular management.
We start with a site visit to assess risks, access and the best method for the outcome you want. Our team works to agreed specifications, keeps neighbours in mind, and clears arisings as standard. You’ll receive a written scope, transparent pricing and a clean finish, including optional stump grinding where needed. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, safe working practices and results that look natural rather than over-cut.
Tree surgery in Dartford Borough often involves tight access, on-street parking and working close to boundaries. We plan equipment and chipper placement to minimise disruption, especially near busier routes towards Dartford Crossing. Ground conditions can vary from compacted lawns to newly landscaped soils on developments, so we use boards and careful lowering techniques to protect surfaces. If permissions or protected trees apply, we’ll help you check before work starts.

Costs vary by tree size, access, risk level and whether you need stump removal. In the tree surgery dartford area, most homeowners budget around £300–£1,500 per tree for pruning, crown reduction or sectional dismantling. Smaller jobs can start from about £200, while large, complex fells or multiple-tree projects can reach £2,500 per tree. We’ll confirm a clear range after a site assessment and specification.
Most jobs take 1–2 days, but the exact timescale depends on the tree’s height, spread, condition and how easy it is to remove timber and chip. A straightforward prune or hedge trimming visit may be completed in a few hours, whereas a large dismantle with rigging and stump grinding can run into a second day. Weather, parking constraints and proximity to buildings can also affect scheduling.
Many routine works such as pruning, crown reduction and hedge trimming can be carried out without formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, which can require council consent before work begins. We’ll ask the right questions, help you check records, and can support the application process where needed so your job stays compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for agreed scope items, covering issues caused by faulty execution rather than natural tree movement, extreme weather or pre-existing defects. For example, if a crown reduction doesn’t match the specified finish or a stump grind area is not completed as agreed, we’ll put it right. We also carry appropriate insurance and follow safe, documented working practices.
We tailor the specification to your goals and the tree’s health. Popular options include crown reduction to manage height and spread, crown lifting to clear paths and driveways, selective thinning for more light, and formative pruning for younger trees. We also offer stump removal, hedge trimming and emergency tree work after storms. We’ll explain the visual outcome, aftercare and long-term maintenance plan before you decide.
