We are
down to earth
Trees are the most impressive living features of any urban environment, but it is essential to maintain them carefully to ensure that they also make a striking addition to your garden or open space. Down To Earth is a multi-disciplined company offering specialist arboricultural contracting and consultancy throughout Kent and South East London.
If you care about trees then you will care about who cares for them.

This status means we carry out all services to a high level of standard, delivered in a safe and professional manner. From tree management to tree survey and consultancy services, we know what it takes to achieve top-quality results.
All our tree surgeons in Kent have been trained to the highest standards and are fully qualified to undertake various types of tree surgery. We always ensure to leave your site as tidy as possible and take extra care to minimise disturbance to your property, its surrounding and the environment.
Our wide range of services covers the following:
Tree Management
Most people think of trees as self-sustaining, and to some extent that’s true. But it’s also true that trees left to their own devices don’t live as long, are prone to disease and can weaken in unseen ways and pose a danger. If you’ve just bought a property that includes trees give us a call.
Consultancy
If you would like to take stock of the trees on your property, we can help. We’ll examine all the trees on your lot and assess their health and vitality. Or, if you’re considering adding to or otherwise altering the tree population on your property, get in touch with Down to Earth for expert advice.
Stump Grinding
The reasons why people leave stumps in place vary, but at some point, nearly all of them will need to be removed. Stump removal is a type of tree surgery, so if the time has come to clear a stump from your property, Down to Earth Trees are the ones to call.
Hedge Maintenance
Different species of hedge are best clipped at different times of the year. Of course, when clipping hedges you also need to take our avian friends into consideration because disturbing active nests is an offence. The best way to care for your hedge is to let us do it for you.
invasive weeds
One of the most ubiquitous invasive species in the UK is Japanese knotweed. It has been with us now for nearly 200 years and can be found throughout Kent. Down to Earth provides expert plant control and removal services, including PCA accredited Japanese Knotweed removal.
Aerial Inspections
Old or sick trees, or trees that have sustained damage during heavy weather, may need to be inspected from base to tip to determine their health and safety status. Each DTE tree surgeon is fully qualified to conduct aerial inspections in a professional manner.
VETERAN Trees
The government has issued precise tree care guidelines regarding veteran trees. Before you do something to a veteran tree that could land you in hot water, give the pros at Down to Earth a call. We’ll inform you of all your responsibilities and options.
Tree Planting
Not all trees flourish in all locations. If you want to plant a new tree on your property it will pay to contact Down to Earth before you do. We will provide expert advice regarding which type of tree will thrive on your particular lot.
24-Hour Emergency Call Out Service
We can offer a 24-hour emergency call out service for hazardous trees requiring urgent attention or for trees affected by extreme weather. We have a wealth of specialists trained and qualified in dealing with multiple windblown trees and urgent tree work operations. This means we can deploy emergency crews at any time of the day or night to handle emergency situations or carry out high-priority tree work. We also have an extensive fleet of industry-specific equipment, including large crane trucks and high-capacity woodchippers.
