Why local matters
Most of the town sits on the Seaford Chalk Formation, thin, sharply alkaline topsoil that bakes dry in July. The creekside and town-centre gardens sit on deeper alluvial loam, where hedges grow harder and faster. The Ospringe and Brogdale fringe brings orchard-edge hedgerows and farmland boundary hedges, which carry their own protection under the Hedgerows Regulations 1997 and a different cut-back protocol entirely.
We work to that variation, not against it. Yew on the downland slopes. Hornbeam where beech would scorch in dry summers. Native mix on the village edges around Preston-next-Faversham. And a tape measure on any stem near the 75mm conservation-area threshold before we touch it.
In a conservation area?
Most of central Faversham, including Abbey Street, Preston Street and Court Street, falls inside one of Swale Borough Council has designated the town centre, Preston next Faversham and Ospringe as conservation areas. That means any tree with a stem over 75mm at chest height needs six weeks' written notice before pruning. We file the section-211 notice on your behalf, included in every quote.
