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.
