Kent Tree Care Services

Tree Surgery:
All trees need to be maintained, as they can become a danger to the public. Old wounds can become weak points on the tree. Trees naturally produce dead wood, which can be removed before it falls causing damage to property or people. Certain growth abnormalities can become potential weak points as the tree ages. All these things cause potential hazards. Trees that are growing near to houses may have their branches interfering with gutters or windows. The tree may be just far too big for the size of garden it is in.

Dismantling and Felling:
The complete removal of a tree, by carefully removing it in sections, when an unsafe tree is a hazard to property or the public. Kent tree care is a highly specialist firm and has invested in rigging equipment and training to ensure you get the very best and safest sectional fell.

Crown Reduction:
Complete reduction of the size of the tree. By the careful removal of the outer crown to produce a smaller sized canopy This is very specialist work, normally no more than 30% of the total canopy should be removed at anyone time unless safety is an issue. Branches should be removed to growth points whenever possible. Certain species and tree forms (sometimes dependent on the trees environment) need special work this will be discussed subject to your requirements.

Crown Lifting:
The removal of lower branches to lift the height of the crown.

Crown Thinning:
The removal of weak, crossing or duplicated branches to improve the structure of the crown.
