Tree Care

Hythe Tree Care aim to offer our customers the complete range of arboriculture services and vegetation management for domestic gardens to commercial and public parkland at cost effective prices, throughout Kent and the surrounding areas. We are fully insured and hold full NPTC qualifications.

We offer a high level of care for young or mature trees, and will recommend the best option to keep your garden trees healthy and manageable.

Some trees are protected by TPO (Tree Preservation Order) and conservation areas. This means that the local council will need to give permission before we can carry out any work. We can contact the council on your behalf. For more information on TPOs and conservation areas, please go to your local council’s website.

We carry out all aspects of tree work…

Pruning and trimming

Pruning is vital to maintain the health and aesthetics of trees and should be done by knowledgeable professionals. Our trained staff have up-to-date knowledge and will assess and recommend the necessary pruning.

 

Pollarding

Pollarding is a type of pruning where the upper branches are removed back to the trunk which reduces the trees growth. Again, we can recommend where this would be beneficial for your garden trees.

Tree feeling or removal

Tree care can be dangerous and should only be performed by professionals who understand tree biology and use specialized equipment. If you suspect decaying branches, contact us for a free inspection, as they may pose safety risks.

 

Stump grinding

Specialist equipment is required to remove tree stumps and we are fully trained and insured for this type of task. Although stumps can be left, they can be a hazard and often attract unwanted insects, so it is better to have them removed.


Crown reduction, thinning, lifting

This reduces the overall size of the tree. Its purpose is to improve stability, shape and in some cases, extend the life of the tree. Crown thinning helps a more mature tree in strong winds as it improves the airflow through the tree.

 

Tree planting

Trees are often a big investment for any garden and require specialist care when planting. The soil preparation and correct planting methods will ensure healthy, long- lasting growth for your trees.
