Companies should show evidence of insurance of 2 million pounds and above. It is also compulsory for staff to have an NPTC/Lantra Awards certificates for chainsaw use.

Do I need permission for tree removal?

If you are looking to remove a tree, you need to check with your local authority that the tree is not subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Trees can provide an aesthetic appeal, add to the areas biodiversity and also form part of conservation order. Your tree surgeon can offer advice on planning applications if required.

Can I get a tree preservation order (TPO) removed?

The only way it can be removed is by the council. Reasons to remove a TPO order include there was a mistake with the original order and if the tree is dead, dying or diseased.

What should I look for in a Tree Surgeon?

Tree surgery can be dangerous work so it important that your tree surgeon is suitably qualified. Not only can it be dangerous to the individual, poor workmanship can lead to damaged property and long-term damage to the trees themselves.

There are two recognised schemes certifying the competence of arborists through examination and regular re-assessment. These are the Arboricultural Association (AA) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).

Before choosing a professional, you may also want to ask for examples of past work, which could include images of different types of tree surgery they have performed in the past. You could also look at their profile page on Bark, and Bark can show you tree surgery reviews from past customers too as well as examples of work that they have completed.

What services do Tree Surgeons offer?

Tree surgeons can help you with a large number of tree services which include:

  • Tree pruning– They can reduce the size of your tree which helps to introduce more sunlight into your garden. In the same way that shrubs need pruning, trees need annual pruning to make their branches and stumps stronger and promotes new growth. Arborists may undertake tree surgery on ash trees, elm trees, beech trees, walnut trees and holly trees amongst others.
  • Crown shaping – tree surgeons can help tame a tree that is overgrown to give it a more uniformed shape.
  • Tree removals – Tree surgeons can undertake tree removals. They will reduce its size from the top and then work down to the trunk. They can then remove the tree stump.
  • Tree felling – When the trees are diseased, dead or dangerous, tree surgeons will undertake tree removal.
  • Tree planting – tree surgeons can also advise on choosing the best tree for a particular location and give advice on a management programme to ensure the tree stays healthy.

What do you love most about your job?

One of the benefits of being a tree surgeon is the opportunity to work outdoors and enjoy nature. I appreciate the fresh air, the beauty of the trees and the environment, and the chance to work in different locations. I love helping trees thrive and ensuring their health and safety. I prune branches to remove dead wood or create a more attractive shape, or I remove a tree that poses a hazard to people or property. Knowing that I’m making a positive impact on the environment and the community can be very rewarding.

What inspired you to start your own business?

"I was inspired to start my own tree surgeon business because of my love for nature and my desire to make a positive impact on the environment. I've always been fascinated by trees and their role in our ecosystem, and I wanted to find a way to contribute to their health and preservation. After years of working as a tree surgeon for other companies, I realized that I had the skills and knowledge to start my own business and make a bigger impact. I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with trees every day and help my clients maintain healthy, beautiful trees that will last for generations to come."

Why should our clients choose you?

"Many of my clients choose my tree surgeon business because of the unique combination of experience and personal attention that I provide. As a sole proprietor, I'm able to work closely with each client to understand their specific needs and provide tailored solutions that meet their goals. Additionally, my background in forestry and my years of experience working alongside my father, who was a respected tree surgeon and forester, have given me a deep understanding of trees and their ecosystems. This knowledge allows me to provide expert advice and care for trees of all types, from pruning and maintenance to removal and disease management. My clients appreciate the personal touch that I bring to each job, as well as the peace of mind that comes with knowing their trees are in good hands."

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

To protect both myself and my customers from COVID-19. First, it's important to follow all local guidelines and regulations related to COVID-19, including social distancing and mask-wearing requirements. I communicate clearly with my customers about the precautions, taking to ensure their safety.

When working on a job site, it's important to maintain a safe distance from other people on the property. I ask customers to stay inside their homes or maintain a safe distance while I work. I also wear a mask at all times and wash my hands frequently. If working with a team, I make sure that all team members are following the same safety protocols, and avoid sharing equipment or tools as much as possible.

I also offeri virtual consultations or estimates to limit in-person contact. Finally, it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest COVID-19 developments and adjust your safety protocols as needed to protect both myself and my customers.
