Tree Care Specialists in Kent | Pruning, Planting & Fruit Trees

Small trees, ornamental trees, and fruit trees add structure, shade, and character to a garden, but they require skilled care and ongoing management to remain healthy, balanced, and suited to their surroundings.

We take a careful and considered approach to all tree work, preserving the natural shape and character of each tree wherever possible.

Our approach to tree care is rooted in horticultural knowledge and long-term management. All work is carried out carefully and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your outdoor space.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kent Gardening, thank you for the excellent new bespoke garden fence, designed and made for our sloping back garden, with timber boarding fixed vertically onto the sloping frame. We appreciate your considered design to avoid the discovered brick chamber soakaway and to abut both the house back wall and the former garden privy at good heights. The neighbour has texted me to say how pleased she is too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't praise James and his team from Kent Gardening highly enough. My small garden was messy and overgrown in places. Everything was cut back and tidied front and back, all the paving slabs were jet washed, gravel topped up and a new trellis was built. Fantastic job. Very pleasant guys to have around too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The seven battered old fence panels were replaced along with the ivy clinging to them and the new ones change the whole appearance of the garden for the better, Very pleased with the work done, all the old panels were removed and everywhere left clean and tidy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KG did an excellent job in my garden on the small trees & the hedge which had grown 4 feet this year. They cleared up tidily afterwards & I shall welcome them back in spring to tackle the willow & dogwood. Highly recommended.
