About | Rochester Hedges & Tree Care

What we do

We trim hedges. We reduce overgrown ones. We reclaim the ones nobody has touched in years. And we do the tree work behind them - pruning, crown thinning, crown reduction and deadwooding - with the right approach for Rochester's mixed chalk and river-terrace ground.

That's it. We don't do lawn care, fencing, or the rest of the garden-services bundle. Hedges and trees are a craft worth being good at; we keep our focus narrow so we are.

Why local matters here

Rochester's historic core sits inside a Conservation Area administered by Medway Council, a unitary authority that handles planning, environmental health and waste collection all under one roof (unlike most of Kent, which splits those between district and county). The Riverside regeneration area has brought new landscaping with young, formally-planted hedges alongside decades-old boundary hedges in Delce and Borstal that have never been reduced. A contractor from outside the area won't know the difference between the two without being told, and will quote them the same.

We work this patch every week. The Conservation Area paperwork is included. The species recommendations match what actually thrives on Medway valley ground, from the chalk above the river to the clay terraces below it.

How we work

Photos and postcode for an initial quote. We can give a fixed price for most routine cuts without coming out. Reductions and reclamations usually need a site visit (free, no obligation).
Fixed-price quotes. No day-rate creep. If the job runs longer than we expected, that is our problem, not yours.
Conservation Area paperwork handled. If your address needs a section-211 notice to Medway Council, we file it. Cost included in the quote.
All arisings cleared. We carry an Environment Agency upper-tier waste-carrier registration. Clippings go to the Medway household waste site or get chipped, never burned on site.
Bank transfer or cash. Invoice or receipt either way.

What you won't get

A salesman trying to upsell you a "garden makeover."
A quote that doubles when we arrive.
A botched cut to compensate for not telling you the hedge actually needs a reduction.
A vague non-answer when you ask a direct question - that's the whole point of the Q&A guides.
