Tree Management
The upkeep of trees is the responsibility of the landowner, and as a landowner, we have a duty of care to ensure that all trees on our land are kept in an acceptable condition and do not put people or property at unreasonable risk. Please note that trees that border the roads or pavements are usually maintained by Kent County Council’s Highway’s department. Please report such issues through their website.
