What we do

Hedge care and tree work. No upselling.

Specified for the plot in front of us, from varied soils to the salt-laden wind off the river, and the conservation-area rules that cover the Historic Dockyard fringe and central Rochester. Hedge cutting and reduction for the boundary; pruning, crown reduction and deadwooding for the trees behind it.

Why local matters

Chatham hedges aren't generic hedges.

Gardens close to the river can take salt-laden wind off the estuary, which browns the exposed face of a conifer faster than an inland garden. Soils range from free-draining chalk on the higher North Downs ground to heavier clay lower down, so a different growing pattern applies from plot to plot.

We work to that variation, not against it. Salt-tolerant species and staged reductions near the water. Standard privet and leylandii management on the estate roads. A tape measure on any stem near the 75mm conservation-area threshold before we touch it.

In a conservation area?

We handle the paperwork.

Parts of Chatham, including the fringe around the Historic Dockyard, and much of neighbouring Rochester sit inside a Medway Council conservation area. That means any tree with a stem over 75mm at chest height needs six weeks' written notice before pruning. We file the section-211 notice on your behalf, included in every quote.
