Tree surgeons in Catford
Locals may be familiar with the origin of the name but not many other people realise that Catford was named after the ford where cattle used to cross the river in this part of London. Today, the area is perhaps most famous for the large fibreglass sculpture of a cat (the Catford Cat) that can be seen at the entrance to the main shopping centre.
Our interest in Catford is not limited to its history and sculpture: we are professional tree surgeons who spend our working days caring for local specimens in residential gardens, public parks and other open spaces. As accredited professionals with many years of experience, we are capable of tackling all kinds of tree surgery procedures on both young and well-established trees. We also offer a specialist veteran tree management service for particularly old trees in the area that may benefit from ongoing professional care.
What to Expect from Your Down to Earth Tree Surgeon in Catford
As you can probably guess from our name, we believe in taking a straightforward, practical approach to tree care whenever possible. We use the least invasive methods possible to look after the trees under our care, ensuring they are able to thrive in all conditions. However, as fully qualified professionals, we are also very capable of handling more complex tree surgery procedures when called for: crown thinning, the removal of diseased sections of trees, advanced pruning and shaping, and, when it cannot be avoided, complete tree and stump removal.
Here’s a quick sample of our services:
Tree Management - Proper tree management entails more than tidying up around the base of a tree. If you want the trees on your property to stay healthy and stout, DTE are the ones to call.
Aerial Inspections - Aerial inspections ensure the integrity of trees that are old or that have lived through a recent heavy weather event. Our team are fully-qualified aerial inspection experts.
Consultancy Services - If you have trees on your property and have questions about their health and viability, or you would like to add or subtract trees, give us a call. We can help.
Stump Grinding - At some point, nearly all tree stumps will need to be removed for one reason or another. The professionals at DTE make short work of this tedious and potentially dangerous job.
Veteran Tree Care - If you have particularly old trees on your property be aware the government has strict regulations in place regarding their care. Call us to learn more.
Tree Planting - You need to be careful about what type of tree you plant and where. If you want to add a tree to your property, give DTE a call first. We’ll help you make the right choice.
Invasive Weeds - There are numerous invasive species that have gained a foothold in the Kent landscape, including Japanese knotweed. We specialise in the removal of invasive species.
If you’re not sure what needs to be done to a tree on your land, please call and speak to us whenever you have a little time to spare. We will be happy to listen to your concerns and suggest the best course of action to take.
Even Trees Need Help Now and Then
We tend to think of trees as self-sustaining and virtually immortal. But the fact is, even these silent, rugged sentinels that bear the brunt of Mother Nature’s fury year after year need a hand from time to time. Trees, for instance, are largely defenceless against an array of diseases, and in many cases the larger they grow the more susceptible they become to damage from extreme weather events. Down to Earth Trees offer expert tree care services that ensure your trees live their lives to the fullest.
At Down to Earth Trees, we have been caring for the trees of Kent and the rest of South East London for more than three decades. Whether you need tree removal, stump removal, tree felling, the planting of a garden tree, hedge trimming or any other type of tree services we're the ones to call. Every member of our team is a qualified tree surgeon and together we provide comprehensive arborous services that help homeowners, businesses and municipalities ensure the health and vitality of the trees in their care.

Down To Earth did a good job on the day, tidied up well after them and were pleasant & courteous to deal with. We got off to a rocky start as the initial booking had to be re-scheduled due to issues at their end for which they apologised and is the reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5, but in the end I was happy with their work
Polite, friendly, carefully followed all instructions, no hesitation to recommend. Good knowledge of various trees, when and how to prune.
Down To Earth have now looked after my Yew tree on three occasions and I have to say it looks better each time now that previous damage has healed.Iwould have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody that wants a good job done.I also consider them to be very fairly priced and their workforce where excellent everything left very tidily.See you next time.Thanks.
Another year of excellent hedge cutting service from Down To Earth. The detailing of the hedges and resulting clear up was superb and the team, led by Chris, were very polite, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Down To Earth for your hedge cutting needs.
We’ve used Down to Earth for several years after a recommendation from a neighbour. They’ve done a variety of jobs from taking down two inherited overgrown confers to general pruning and tidying up of trees and bushes. They always do the work exactly as agreed after an on-site visit, giving good advice, they’re very efficient, clear up thoroughly, and are always friendly. We’d strongly recommend them.
A very professional done by very pleasant friendly people. (and they left the garden all clean and tidy - and many do not do that!) We would highly recommend them
Great communication, knowledge and patience with members of the public asking lots of questions. Great machine to relieve deep compaction after events
Likable, professional team of 3 turned up on the day, did a fantastic job (they have a really good sense of aesthetics). Very pleased, will definitely be using them again.
Excellent service, very slick. Took down large diseased ash, cut up and removed debris, and cleared up afterwards. Great work by the team. Would recommend.
An excellent and very thorough haircut for a large cedar tree carried out by a very professional and pleasant team. All done on schedule and everything left clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
Great service and very impressed by the skill and speed of the team. All priced very competitively. Would highly recommend.
Second time I have used them. Thoroughly professional - they give good advice, easy to deal with. First time a year ago was a really big job, so pleased I used them. Thoroughly recommend.
An unpleasant job, taming the leylandii trees which we had inherited and had been allowed to do their own thing for too long! We are grateful to our friends who recommended "Down to Earth" and we are very happy to say to anyone else who reads this, that from Andy who came to give us a very reasonable estimate, and Frankie's team who did skilful and beautiful job, we couldn't be happier. Very nice people too!
Excellent service, professional team, very large job bringing down dead sequoia; handled the job very well, cleared everything up, went above and beyond what we expected
Down To Earth were great. They did an excellent job from start to finish. Good customer service. Excellent team on site who did a fantastic job that went beyond my hopes and cleared up after themselves in an extremely thorough way.
An excellent job from start to finish, arrived on time and did a great job at clearing up afterwards. Worked the whole time they were here and couldn’t be happier with the results!
Exceptional service from start to finish. The job was carried out (non-stop working by the crew!) at the exact time agreed with all the remnants cleared up and taken away. They even ended up clearing my patio!
Another excellent job from Down to Earth trees. They have carried out all pruning and planting a new hedge in my garden for many years and I would never use anyone else. They are reliable, everything is cleared at the end of the job and all the staff from start to finish are polite and professional. I was happy with the quotation given. The 2 guys who carried out the latest work were very pleasant and listened to what I said before beginning the work. I would definitely recommend them.
I have been most impressed with DTE's professionalism and integrity. The scope of work I proposed I discussed was reduced as it wasnt all needed, and the work itself was carried out to a high standard
I had my trees done recently and the four gentlemen did a great job. Very professional and cleared all fallen debris at the end. Will definitely use the company again.
This is an excellent company to do business with. Their quote was thorough and very competitive. The team turned up on time and were very professional, polite and respectful of both our property and our garden. The work undertaken, (tree prunning and removal of a large shrub), was carried out to a high standard and everything was left very tidy. I can only recommend this company for their excellent service.
