Crown Reduction

A crown reduction is a specialist pruning technique to reduce the overall height and spread of a tree while maintaining the overall structure of the crown. It is typically done when a tree has outgrown its space, or is close to power lines and buildings.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting involves removing the lower branches of a tree to raise the canopy, increasing clearance from the ground and improving access and light to the surrounding area.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning involves the careful removal of selected branches to improve air circulation within the canopy and allow more light to filter through.

Pollarding

Pollarding is a pruning technique where all the foliage are removed completely and the branches are heavily reduced to short stubs promoting denser growth. Pollarding is often used on street trees to maintain its size.

Tree Removal

We all love trees but sometimes it becomes necessary to remove them if they are dead, diseased, dying, structurally weak or posing risk to the surroundings. We can safely cut down any size trees by sectional dismantlingfor tight spaces or felling in open areas.

Hedge Maintenance

Sometimes hedges grow too big or in an awkward location making it tricky for you to maintain by yourself. We can do it safely and professionally.

Woodland Management

Woodlands are not just the trees. Look closely within the woodland and you will find enormous biodiversity. Trees in woods provide food and microhabitats for a variety of different invertebrates even if they are alive or dead. Our woodland serves a great purpose for our landscapes. There are many different kinds of woodland with varying structures, age and biodiversity. The health and wellbeing of woodlands depend on effective management. We offer a complete woodland management service, from small gardens to larger area woodlands.

Tree Planting

Trees are a vital part of our gardens and landscapes, we can help you choose the right tree for your space. We can even supply and plant it for you!

Stump Removal

Tree stumps can sometimes look unsightly and also become home for pests and diseases. We are able to remove stumps by using a specialised stump grinder, which is faster, safer and an efficient way to remove a tree stump without disturbing the surrounding area. 

LOLER Inspection

A LOLER inspection is a legal requirement to ensure the safe and thorough examination of lifting equipment. This involves a detailed check by a competent person to confirm the equipment is safe, fit for purpose, and free from defects.

Our qualified LOLER inspector will carry out a thorough examination to identify any defects or issues before they become a risk.

To comply with regulations, inspections must be carried out:

  • Every 6 months for equipment used to lift people, or for all lifting accessories

  • Every 12 months for other lifting equipment

If you're a tree surgeon or arborist in need of a LOLER inspection, please call us on 01303 770610, or complete the ‘contact us’ form, and we’ll handle everything.

We are fully qualified and fully insured.

I have used Hythe Tree Care for the past few years to trim our fir trees, but this year I decided to have them cut down.
HTC have always been so professional and tidy and I was very happy with their work.
I asked for a quote for the new work which was good.
They did a fabulous job and left our garden looking great. They cleared up and left everything looking good. They were polite and checked as they went along to make sure everything was as I wanted.
I would always recommend HTC to complete a great job.
