What is arboriculture?
It is tree surgery which is the professional management, maintenance, and care of trees. It includes services such as pruning, crown reduction, tree removal, stump grinding, and health or safety assessments, all carried out to improve tree health, safety, and appearance.
Do I need permission to carry out tree work?
In some cases, yes. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be located within a conservation area. We can check this on your behalf and advise on any permissions required before work begins.
How do I know if a tree is dangerous?
Signs of a potentially hazardous tree include dead or hanging branches, visible cracks in the trunk, leaning trees, root damage, or fungal growth. A professional tree risk assessment can identify safety concerns and recommend appropriate action.
What is crown reduction and when is it needed?
Crown reduction involves selectively reducing the height and spread of a tree while maintaining its natural shape. It is often used to reduce weight, improve light levels, minimise wind resistance, or prevent damage to nearby buildings.
Can you remove a tree completely?
Yes. Tree removal is carried out when a tree is dead, diseased, structurally unsafe, or unsuitable for its location. We ensure removal is completed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all relevant regulations. Stumps can be ground out if required.
What happens to the waste after tree work?
All green waste, including branches, logs, and wood chippings, can be removed from site and responsibly recycled unless you request otherwise. We always leave the area clean and tidy.
Do you offer emergency tree services?
Yes. We provide emergency tree services for situations such as storm damage, fallen trees, or immediate safety risks. These services are available 24 hours a day for urgent call-outs.
When is the best time of year for tree work or planting?
Most tree work can be carried out year-round, although certain tasks are best suited to specific seasons. Tree and shrub planting is typically most successful during autumn and winter. We can advise on optimal timing for your project.
Why should I use a professional tree surgeon?
Professional tree surgeons have the training, equipment, and experience to carry out work safely and correctly. This ensures compliance with legislation, protects property and people, and promotes the long-term health of trees.
