Protected Trees

Southfleet Tree and Grounds Maintenance specialises in working with protected trees, offering expert guidance for Tree Preservation Orders and Conservation Area regulations across Kent. Managing a protected tree requires specialist knowledge, careful assessment and the correct permissions before any pruning or removal can take place. Our qualified arborists carry out detailed inspections, help you understand your legal responsibilities and provide clear recommendations based on the health, structure and long-term safety of the tree.

We also handle the entire TPO application process on your behalf, including preparing supporting statements, submitting documentation to the local authority and liaising with planning officers. This ensures that any proposed tree work is compliant with legislation and supported by strong arboricultural reasoning. Whether you need to address safety concerns, manage subsidence issues or carry out routine maintenance on a protected specimen, our experience helps ensure a smooth and successful outcome.

As trusted local tree specialists, we combine technical expertise with a respectful approach to heritage trees and the landscapes they enhance. We work carefully, efficiently and in accordance with British Standards, ensuring all work preserves the character, appearance and ecological value of your property. If you are looking for professionals who understand protected trees, TPO regulations and local planning requirements in Kent, Southfleet Tree and Grounds Maintenance is here to provide reliable, informed and legally compliant support from start to finish.
