Down To Earth Trees Established in 1979, Down to Earth Trees is one of the deepest rooted specialist tree management companies within Kent and South East London.

Trees are the most impressive living features of any urban environment, but it is essential to maintain them carefully to ensure that they also make a striking addition to your garden or green space. Down To Earth is a multi-disciplined company offering specialist arboricultural contracting and consultancy throughout Kent and South East London. Established in 1979 by Glenn Morris, and as one of the pioneering companies helping to establish the Arboricultural Association approved contractor scheme, we’ve grown into the largest tree contracting company in Kent securing an impressive array of clients in both the domestic and commercial sectors. The successful merger with Greencut Horticulture in 2016 resulted in the creation of a large company that not only has the infrastructure to deal with any size job, but the modern back office systems that allow us to focus on a customer-centric model. For beautiful trees, which are the focal point of your property, look no further than the services on offer at Down To Earth.

A major tree removal operation in the heart of Central London today, by the awesome DTE Trees Team and our friends at NPC Tree Surgery.

Following specialist investigations identifying advancing basal decay and concerns over structural stability, the difficult decision was made to remove this mature London plane in the interests of public safety, under a 5-day notification.

Exceptional logistics, meticulous planning and specialist machinery were required to safely dismantle and extract this substantial tree from a highly constrained location.

Works were carefully coordinated for Sunday to minimise disruption to this normally very busy site.

A fantastic team effort by everyone involved, demonstrating the importance of careful planning, specialist equipment and experienced operators in delivering complex arboricultural operations safely and efficiently. safety

Sometimes it’s important to take a step away from work….
Today DTE Trees swapped chainsaws and tree surveys, for a company day out in London as a small thank you to the team for their incredibly hard work over recent months, especially through the recent hot weather!

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, but taking time out reminds us just how lucky we are to have such a fantastic team. We’re incredibly grateful for the hard work, professionalism and camaraderie the team bring every day! Xx

A fantastic few days for one our Arboricultural Consultancy team carrying out advanced internal decay investigations on some truly incredible veteran and mature trees within the Bedford Estate 🌳

Using a combination of:
🔎 PiCUS 3 Sonic Tomography (SoT)
⚡ TreeTronic Electrical Resistance Tomography (EMT)
🌲 IML PD400 Resistance Drilling (Resi testing)

Our consultant was able to undertake both repeat investigations to monitor and assess decay progression over time, alongside a number of new inspections to help inform future tree management decisions.

These forms of non-invasive and minimally invasive testing provide valuable insight into the internal structural condition of trees, helping clients make informed, evidence-based management decisions whilst supporting the safe retention of important trees wherever possible.

Some very impressive specimens and a great example of modern arboricultural diagnostics in action.

Another stunning day for the DTE Trees team working high in the canopy across SE London 🌳☀️

Our climbers carrying out cyclical pollarding works to mature London plane trees, with some spectacular panoramic views across the capital from the upper crown.

Pollarding remains an important management technique for many historically managed plane trees throughout London, helping to maintain tree health, structural integrity and long-term retention within challenging urban environments.

Not a bad office view for the day either! 👌

A great DTE Trees compliance and training afternoon today for the team 🌳💪

The session covered a range of important refresher sessions and operational updates including:
✅ Aerial rescue training
✅ Chipper maintenance and checks
✅ Eco-plug installation techniques
✅ Introduction to our expanding arboricultural consultancy services

The afternoon kicked off with a BBQ lunch for everyone before getting stuck into the practical sessions.

Unfortunately, the day was cut a little short for one of our teams following an emergency call out from a London Borough client after a highway tree was identified as presenting an immediate danger to the public!

A good reminder that whilst training and compliance are critical, our teams are always ready to respond when needed.

Well done to everyone involved 👏😎
