FAQs
-
If a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is in place or your property falls within a Conservation Area, you will need to apply to Dartford Borough Council before any tree removal or tree felling can begin. Carrying out tree work without permission can result in fines of up to £20,000.
At Down to Earth, our team can check whether your trees are protected and submit applications on your behalf. If you are unsure about any tree in your garden, contact us for a free quote and we will be happy to advise.

Every job is different, so we always recommend a proper on-site assessment. Get in touch for a free, no obligation quote and one of our estimators will visit your property to discuss your specific requirements and provide a clear, transparent price.

Absolutely. Any local tree surgeon should be fully insured with adequate public liability cover. Tree surgery is high-risk work and without proper insurance, you as the property owner could be left liable for damage to fencing, landscaping or neighbouring structures. Always ask for proof before any work is undertaken.
At Down to Earth, we carry full public liability and employers' liability insurance on every project. As one of the highest rated tree surgeons in Kent and south east London, we also hold Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status, which requires ongoing assessment of our safety practices.
-
Not always, but in most cases it is well worth doing. Leaving tree stumps can attract pests, encourage the spread of honey fungus to nearby shrubs and plants, and create trip hazards in your garden. Old stumps can also send out new shoots, interfering with future landscaping plans.
We own four specialist stump grinders, including tracked machines for rough terrain. Before grinding begins, we scan the area for underground services. If you would prefer to keep the stump as a wildlife habitat, that is absolutely fine too. We will talk you through the options for your property.
-
Public liability insurance covers accidental damage to your home, garden, fencing, neighbouring property or vehicles during tree work, as well as injury to members of the public. Without this cover, the cost of repairs or a claim could fall directly on the property owner.
Down to Earth carries comprehensive cover across all domestic and commercial projects in Kent, Essex, Surrey, Sussex and east London. Our fully qualified tree surgeons follow strict safety protocols on every job, and our practices are regularly audited. It is one of the reasons customers across the south east trust us with their tree care.
-
Late autumn to early spring is ideal for most routine tree care. Trees are dormant, making it easier to assess structure, carry out pruning or shaping, and plan larger projects with careful planning. Work done during this window also helps encourage healthy growth for the season ahead.
That said, tree surgery is not limited to winter. If you spot dangerous trees after high winds or branches threatening your property, our emergency tree services are available 24 hours a day. Our extensive range of equipment means we can respond quickly to hazardous trees across the Dartford area and the wider south east.
