Years of experience and learned knowledge lie at the root of our ‘excellence in tree care management’.
Our hands-on experience and perennial passion have led to a reputation in Kent and East Sussex as leading experts in residential and commercial tree care.
Your property, our passion
Our team of expert arborists put our passion into practice as we first conduct a detailed evaluation of your estate. Once this appraisal has been completed, we will discuss every available option with you before deciding on the best course of action to deliver the best results.
Pruning trees can be done by anyone with a blade to hand. But we know identifying and assessing the species, condition, age, location and health of a tree before sharpening the axe, can in many cases save the tree and improve its life.
Helping you see the light
Whatever your reasons for calling in a tree surgeon, you can be assured of receiving top level, honest and impartial advice. We’ll fully explain our recommendations before taking any action.
If light is an issue, we can thin out a bush, hedge, shrub or tree to let light into an area of the property which may be lost in darkness. Much like cutting hair, this procedure invariably improves growth and therefore the health of the plant whilst allowing in that much sought-after light.
Experienced in working closely with Local Planning Authorities, we’ll do more than just the tree work. Should your project require permission to remove or prune a tree with a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) bestowed upon it, rest assured we’ll take care of any due diligence and paperwork and liaise with the Council on your behalf, keeping you informed throughout the process.
Conservation Areas can also be a hurdle when redesigning your outside space or seeking to reduce or remove a tree. Perfectly comfortable handling the most complex of projects, we’ll ensure a seamless transition from proposal to completion.
Caring for trees, caring for our clients
Our love for horticulture and the preservation of the environment means we think ethically and ecologically when faced with site clearance. Where possible we will always recycle any materials we can. Otherwise we will dispose of any waste at the nearest environmental transfer station.
Our workmanship is second to none. We are quick, efficient, clean and tidy, ensuring your property is left immaculate and ready for you and your family to enjoy.
We pride ourselves on being friendly, honest and approachable. Our free estimates allow you to meet the team personally who will be working with you.
Having built our business largely on recommendation, repeat business and reputation, it’s clear that we build strong, lasting relationships our clients, and a robust knowledge of the trees and plants within their homes.
By coming to Porter’s Tree Care, you’ll have peace of mind that the work is in professional, knowledgeable hands.
Why selecting a knowledgeable arborist is essential
Unless having a wild, overgrown woodland is the look you’re striving for, regular arboriculture will improve the life, look, structure and safety of your garden. It’s important to keep on top of disease which can, in some cases, cripple your trees, result in deadwood and cause unnecessary hazards. Knowing when, and how, to prune and reduce, is critical to the end result. Pruning a tree only to find it costing you double the following year when it’s grown back thicker and faster, is not what anyone wants.
Using a tree surgeon who thoroughly knows the field can protect you from contravening regulations too. If you’re in a Conservation area, or have trees with a TPO, proceeding incorrectly or without the required planning permission, can result in hefty fines.
