We get asked this question a lot, and the answer never changes: without arranging a site visit, it is close to impossible to provide a price. The four main factors to consider are:

1. The size of the tree
2. The work site and what obstructions are near to it
3. How far the arisings need to be transported from the tree to the chipper and trucks
4. The health of the tree — Is it safe to climb? Would we need a MEWP in to work it?

Broadleaf’s most popular services in Maidstone are tree removals, but generally our services can be divided into three main categories:

• Tree felling & removal: This is the most common service that tree surgeons provide. If you have a tree on your property that needs to be removed, a tree surgeon can do it safely and efficiently, including the removal of the tree stump via grinding, if required.
• Tree & hedge trimming: This service is typically requested when trees are starting to encroach on power lines or buildings. By trimming back, tree surgeons can help prevent damage to property and keep everyone safe.
• Tree pruning: This service is often requested for aesthetic reasons. Pruning can help improve the appearance of trees and make them healthier.

Trees are complex organisms that have spent millions and millions of years evolving to grow and thrive in the natural world, so human involvement isn’t massively important. However, there are a few things you can do to help your tree:

1. Keep it clear of ivy
2. Don’t build too close to the root system
3. Maintain it regularly and be proactive, not reactive
4. Don’t plant other trees too close to it

Trees are best worked on during the dormant periods, but pruning trees during the active months is also ok depending on their species and age. The best months for tree work are:

• October
• November
• December
• January
• February

To prepare for your booked tree services appointment, we ask that you clear the area around the target tree or hedge to help our tree surgeons do their job more efficiently and prevent any accidents.

Once the work is done, we remove any debris, which is then put through a wood chipper and used on a local farm as fertiliser to ensure our process is as sustainable as possible.

If you’re happy with the results of the tree surgery, we recommend you get in touch with us to discuss a maintenance plan. This will help ensure that your trees stay healthy and look their best.
