We hope that the following frequently asked questions will help you find out what you need to know about our company. We understand that employing a tree surgeon is an important decision. If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Do I need permission to prune my trees?
On occasion trees can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or are located within a Conservation area. We are happy to check if there are any restrictions on your trees with the Local Planning Authority (LPA), and make any applications on your behalf, if required.
Due to the nature of our work machinery noise is unavoidable but will be kept to a minimum where possible. We suggest it would courteous to inform your immediate neighbours of the date and nature of works. Where your trees overhang neighbouring properties access may be required for clearing up. In these cases written consent letter would be required from your neighbour giving us permission to access the area. This would be required prior to works commencing to avoid unnecessary delays on the day. We understand that occasionally relationships between neighbours can be awkward and we are happy to discuss and explain the works with them. However, we are unable to get involved with ongoing neighbourly disputes.
The majority our clients require all arisings (waste product) to be removed from site. However, woodchips can be used as mulch for your garden and are a cheap alternative to decorative bark. Timber can also be left for firewood either in lengths or processed by us into logs. We are happy to discuss these options and will specify your requirements in the quote.
