Residential tree surgery in Canterbury, Kent
For homeowners

Residential tree care

Whether it's a dangerous tree close to your house, overgrown branches blocking light, or a stump you want gone, we'll sort it. We handle everything from the initial assessment to clearing up afterwards.

Tree felling & removal: safe dismantling, even in tight spaces near buildings and fences.

Crown reduction & pruning: reshape overgrown trees without losing them entirely.

Stump grinding: ground below surface level so you can turf, pave, or replant.

Hedge cutting: one-off or regular maintenance to keep things tidy.

Contract & tender work: we work to programme deadlines and site safety standards.

Ongoing grounds maintenance: long-term contracts for estates and public land.

"Elliot and the team at Minters Tree Care did a marvellous job reducing our tree. They came to assess the job the same day I contacted them and carried out the work just two days later. Very professional, polite, tidy, with excellent communication."

"Elliot and the team did a great job. Excellent communication, very friendly, and I was amazed at how quickly they worked. It feels like they have doubled the size of my garden after removing several trees and large bay bushes. Would highly recommend."
