Tree work in the garden

Our tree work is aimed at the trees most gardens have: conifers that have shot up, smaller trees that need reshaping, and branches hanging over lawns, paths, borders or the drive. Gemzas has topped conifers for customers as part of their wider garden care, and we can cut back growth that is blocking light or getting in the way.

Bigger trees

Large trees, trees close to buildings or power lines, and anything that needs climbing or rigging to bring down safely are a job for a qualified tree surgeon. Send us photos first. If a tree is beyond what we do, we will say so, so you are not paying for a visit that leads nowhere.

Permission and timing

Parts of Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages are conservation areas, and some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. In those cases Sevenoaks District Council must be told or give consent before work starts, so check before booking. As with hedges, trees should not be cut while birds are nesting in them, which mostly affects work in spring and early summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you top conifers?
Yes. Customers have had conifers topped by us as part of a wider garden tidy. Topping keeps them at a height you can manage.
Can you remove a whole tree?
It depends on the size of the tree and where it stands. Send photos and we will tell you whether it is a job for us or for a tree surgeon.
Do I need permission to cut back a tree?
Only if the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area. The council can tell you, so check before any work is booked.
