Outstanding. Totally professional. From the very first quote they understood exactly what we needed and every member of the team showed care and expertise throughout. We had 5 trees trimmed, about 10ft off each. We asked that they keep cover where we wanted it and they did that perfectly. They left the place absolutely spotless too. Quote was competitive. Highly recommended.

Jason and his team are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!. Recently moved to Harold Wood to a big project based home but with a nightmare (albiet potentially) beautiful garden that had been neglected for 10 years without exaggeration. The many massively overgrown tree branches not only destroyed any boundary that existed, but their branches spanned wildly and out of control accross the entire width of the garden! Jason and his team blitzed through the massive green jungle and opened up the garden to a surprising new look , which before this, the estate agents were only able to estimate through Google Earth . I am very greatfull to Jason for the cost effective manner in which he dealt with this massive job .I didn't even need to be at home as it was a working day. I was updated with pics as the work progressed. His team who visted us for two big jobs,were professional, friendly and very respectful of my property. Even went out of their way to tidy, clear up and went the extra mile out of sheer kindness and courtesy. I still have other jobs to do like the fencing etc and I will be trusting Jason, his team and recommended associates for this too . Contact me if you need any further information/ details. Thank you again Jason. Lorraine D

HI Jason, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided by your team. From start to finish, the work was carried out with great professionalism, care, and efficiency. The team were punctual, polite, and clearly very knowledgeable, and they completed the work to a very high standard. It was also reassuring to see how safely and tidily everything was handled throughout the job. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved — it is clear that pride is taken in both the quality of work and customer service, and it truly shows. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others and would be very happy to use your company again in the future.

I have a 200 year old oak tree with a Tree Preservation order which requires council permission before it can be cut. As it needs to be cut early in the year when there's no or little growth, process has to start early to enable this to be done in time. There were 3/4 men on site most of the day as you can imagine. Photos show prior to cutting and the end result. Tree looks fantastic and everything was left clean and today. I considered it to be a reasonable price for the work undertaken.

    Tree Pruning (Reductions)

    Tree pruning or reduction is carried out to reduce the overall size of a tree when it has outgrown the space it lives in. Our expertise in arboriculture ensure this is done in a way that is optimum to the future growth, shape and overall health of the tree.

    Emergency Call Outs
    In an emergency situation, it is critical to get the right support quickly. Faced with a tree that has caused roof damage during a storm, a fallen tree or branch blocking a road, dangerous over-hanging branches that you have liability for, whatever your tree emergency, Kings Cut Tree Services can help.
    Tree Pruning (Crown Thinning)
    Tree pruning or crown thinning is the act of taking out some of the bulk of a tree. It is essential that this type of work is carried out in a way that encourages healthy future growth as well as creating a happy tree.
    Tree Pruning (Crown Lifting)
    Crown lifting is a form of tree pruning that like crown thinning or reduction, removes some of the bulk of a tree.
    Formative Pruning/General Pruning
    Expert maintenance and pruning in younger trees results in the removal of potential ‘future problematic’ limbs and branches early. Formative pruning like this can minimise expensive work later on in a tree’s life as well as ensuring the tree grows in the style desired for your garden or outside space.
    Hedge Trimming
    New Kings Cuts Tree Services are also experts in hedges – both evergreen and deciduous.
    Straight Felling/Section Felling
    Straight felling involves three cuts done in a precise way to allow the tree to fall safely in one piece within adequate space. Where there isn’t enough space to straight fell, section felling involves systematic removal of the tree limb by limb, section by section, using rigging techniques, MEWP or a crane to achieve a safe, careful removal of the tree.
    Stump Grinding and Poisoning of Stumps
    Following the removal of a tree, we remove stumps to allow for building projects or landscaping works.
    Pollarding and Re-pollarding
    This heavy reduction of a tree can only be carried out by someone who understands the growth and health of trees. This usually entails heavier work than a standard reduction that may remove 10-30% of the crown’s canopy. Pollarding tends to remove 40% and upwards.
    When clearing an area there may be many different problematic plants and trees growing. Kings Cuts Tree Services can handle the whole procedure.
    Turn your beautiful trees into stunning planks! No tree should be wasted and in keeping with our recycling approach to things we love to turn old trees in to planks.
    Recycling
    Working with trees everyday, we take away a lot of reusable wood from sites. 100% of this type of wood is recycled which is important to us as people who love nature and spend so much time amongst trees.
    As well as offering FREE expert advice and quotations, we offer more detailed reports for our clients where needed. We have extensive experience in detailed reports for clients that catalogue the current state and future likelihood of tree growth.
    As well as offering crown thinning, Kings Cuts Tree Services carry out dead wooding to provide a thorough crown clean out.
