For all your tree surgery needs

No job is too big or small!


We pride ourselves on offering :


  • A high standard of workmanship.
  • An honest and transparent service.
  • Competitive pricing.

We are professional Tree Surgeons in Folkestone and the surrounding areas, whatever your requirements are, you can rest assured that we are the right people for the job.


Tree care and maintenance are tasks that should be taken care of by contractors with experience. Whilst the idea of thinning a tree can seem easy, it is a task that must be carefully considered and planned to make sure that it does not create more harm than good. 


Folkestone Tree Surgeons are knowledgeable about anything related to trees. We can take care of all tasks from clearing out dead wood, trimming any overgrown areas around power lines, making sure there are no hazardous limbs near buildings or roads, and maintaining root systems with proper irrigation when needed. 


Trees require space and making sure they have it will keep them from growing so close together that they become a tangled mess which will, in turn, limit their growth. The most logical way to do this is with regular checks, and then it makes the task of maintaining them so much easier. 


Pruning can also help redirect growth away from the canopy, which may be necessary as too much weight could eventually cause branches to break off and, possibly in extreme cases, even uproot the entire tree.


Pruning is one of the most common services offered at Folkestone Tree Surgeons for residential and commercial clients, and whilst there are aesthetic benefits, it also promotes healthy growth.


We also provide emergency services for the times that we can't predict, such as storm damage. Call Folkestone Tree Surgeons now for your free quote! 01303 765 498

Tree Crowning

Folkestone Tree Surgeons are specialist at crown reduction. It's a form of pruning that reduces branch weight and volume by removing branches from just below their attachment points on the trunk.

 

The branch is cut back to the trunk or just above a leaf joint, and this technique allows us to reduce the number of branches and thereby lighten the weight on other parts of the tree while reducing its overall size. 


Crown reduction is a perfect solution to reducing the weight from the tree and giving it a more sculpted look. It is also another form of keeping the tree healthy and promotes new growth.


If you found us searching for ' Tree crowning near me ', it is most likely we cover your area. Along with working in Folkestone, we also cover the surrounding areas of Kent.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • What does a tree surgeon do?

    A tree surgeon is a professional who is trained to perform tree care services. A typical service would be the removal of dead, diseased or hazardous trees.

  • How can you tell if your tree needs pruning?

    If the branches of a mature or overgrown shrub are hanging too low, it might be time for some trimming. If there has been new growth in the past year and old leaves no longer can be seen, then the tree should be trimmed.

  • What is the best time of the year to trim a tree?

    The best time for pruning is in late-spring. The sap should be flowing and leaves on the ground means there has been plenty of sunlight, which helps trees grow faster.

  • What are some reasons to get your tree trimmed?

    Some common reasons people might want their trees trimmed are to reduce the risk of storm damage, remove dead or diseased branches and keep trees from blocking windows

  • How can you tell if a tree is unhealthy?

    Some common signs that a tree may be sick include decay in the lower trunk, usually due to root rot. Another sign is discolored leaves on upper parts of the crown or if there is sinking in to the ground or leaning, due to poor root growth; and downward-growing tree branches.

  • What should you do if a tree is causing damage?

    If there are signs of storm or other structural damage such as broken limbs, one option may be to trim off those damaged areas and reinforce with cables or wire branches that could snap in future storms. Other options include removing the entire trunk or crown of the tree.

Tree Surgeon Hythe

In the last few years, there has been a rise in the popularity of living green. More people than ever before want to live sustainably and have natural things like trees around them. This is why we provide regular tree care for our clients to get the most out of their plants while also maintaining an attractive environment. 


We offer services such as pruning, trimming, weed control and fertilisation, amongst others, because these all contribute to a healthy tree that provides shade when it's sunny outside and oxygen during the night hours.


Pruning, trimming, and weed control are essential for maintaining the health of trees. These tasks should be performed regularly, at least once or twice every year, depending on where you live and what type of climate you have. Trees will lose their leaves during wintertime but then sprout new ones again in spring - this is why it's so crucial that these processes don't overlap with each other (e.g., pruning your tree while it still has most if not all its leaves). And when cutting any part off the tree, always remember to leave enough foliage behind so there is sufficient light penetration into the crown canopy below, which keeps the tree healthy.


Additionally, it's essential to provide ample watering during dry periods and avoid planting any other trees nearby that would shade out your original one(s). Finally, be sure to use mulch such as bark chips or weed preventers on top of the soil for several reasons: they will discourage erosion from rainwater; act as insulation by retaining moisture in colder months (e.g. When there is snowfall); have nutrients better than just plain old dirt; help keep down weeds while promoting new root growth - all this helps promote healthier leaves.

Tree Surgery in Folkestone

Trees are essential to the health and beauty of a landscape. But sometimes, they need some extra care or special attention, like trimming branches that have grown too high for your property line or shaping up limbs that threaten power lines. Folkestone Tree Surgeons offer an affordable service that will help you with all these tasks and more. 


What is tree surgery, and why do we need it?

Tree surgery is the process of trimming and cutting back a tree's branches to satisfy specific needs. For example, when you need more sunlight in your garden or want to clear away unwanted foliage from an aesthetic standpoint.


Tree surgeons are often hired by homeowners who have large trees that require periodic maintenance, or they may be called upon as part of government contracts for maintenance and removal works in public areas.



How does the process of tree surgery work?

Tree surgery is a process that can take years to understand. The first step in this long process involves removing dead branches and any diseased tree limbs.


The next stage includes cutting off more significant sections of bark from the trunk using an axe where necessary, followed by replacing it with a plastic cover called a "tree wrap," which will protect against insects infesting and also safeguard against weathering damage due to wind and rain erosion on unprotected wood surfaces.


The benefits of tree surgery

When it comes to taking care of your trees, there are a lot of options out there. There is tree surgery which can help keep the health and vitality in an older tree while also allowing them to survive climate change. Tree surgeons will trim branches that droop too close to power lines or other objects where they may be dangerous for humans and animals alike; prune dead limbs with potential damage from disease or pests, as well as thinning crowded areas around the trunk, so airflow improves their ability to withstand harsh winters; remove suckers below ground level who might compete with roots when grown-up, provide shade (which could lead to wet leaves) - preventing sunlight needed by stressed plants under drought conditions-or trap.


Common misconceptions about tree surgery

Tree surgery is a serious business that shouldn't be taken lightly. The first misconception people have about tree surgery is that it only involves removing branches and fixing broken limbs when the process includes much more. Tree surgeons also remove dead or diseased trees from their clients' property to maintain safety for themselves and anyone else around them at all times; they preserve the health of plants on-site while ensuring compliance with regulations through trimming hedges to legal specifications—the list goes on!





FAQs on Tree Surgery

Tree surgery is a highly skilled profession. Here are some FAQs related to tree preservation and care:


1. Who is responsible for pruning a tree?

Answer: The person/company who owns or is interested in the property on which the tree is situated (e.g. leaseholder, landlord etc.) is legally obliged to ensure that any work carried out on a tree does not damage it and encompasses all pruning.

 

2. Can tree work be carried out in the nesting season?

Answer: Yes, if the work is urgent and cannot wait until the next season, for example, a branch has broken off, or a falling unit has damaged a fence panel. However, it is advisable to ensure no damage to nests during these activities.

 

3. What is the correct way to carry out tree surgery?

Answer: Tree surgeons are trained and qualified professionals who work using professional aerial access platforms, ropes and rigging techniques, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as goggles, gloves etc. Any tree work carried out by an unqualified person can damage the tree and may also be illegal.

 

4. How do I know if a tree needs to be felled?

Answer: If the tree's condition is deteriorating rapidly or has been damaged by natural hazards (e.g. fallen branch, storm etc.), it should be removed. Some trees are susceptible to insects or disease, posing a risk to other trees in the vicinity. Trees that are dead or have died should be removed, and new ones can replace native tree species if a suitable matching replacement is available, e.g. sycamore to willow, ash to birch.

 

5. What types of trees are dangerous?

Answer: All trees may look safe, but many can present a risk if they are not maintained correctly. Some tree species have been specially bred to be ornamental or withstand certain conditions, but the trees may still pose a risk if their maintenance regime is not followed. Many national lists can help identify potentially dangerous trees, for example:
