Tree Surgeon Nottingham - Tree Service & Arborist Service

While tree surgeons typically cost around £30-£150 per hour, the size of the tree, location and difficulty involved with the job all affect the price of our tree service. We may charge more or less, or charge a flat fee depending on the scope of work, the experience and ability to complete the job quickly and type and size of trees. Also keep in mind there are different methods used such as: Chainsaw, Bow Saw & Chipper/Grinder method; which will influence pricing too.

Our Nottingham Tree surgeons are experts at reshaping, felling, pruning and trimming all types of trees that help to make outdoor areas a safer environment and more visually pleasing. Tree surgery is a dangerous and risky profession where workers often use chainsaws, power tools, rigging, pulleys and climbing equipment. Tree surgeons need to be fit, healthy and proficient climbers as they move around trees to cut away dead branches, reduce trees in height, remove trees altogether that pose danger to buildings and human life.

Please reconsider against this as tree surgery is a highly skilled job. Many people try to complete this kind of work to save money and this can be a big mistake. Ask yourself this question. If you have an accident and need time off work to recover from, how much would that cost you? The tools we use such as chainsaws and stump grinders are specialist machinery that should only be in the hands of trained tree surgeons and arborists. A lot of people hire this equipment and have no right to be using it and the hire companies in my opinion should not be hiring it out to novices. Stay safe and get the professionals to do the job, we are fully insured, take away all the debris and nice people to do business with.

We look at all the different aspects and take everything into consideration.

Size of the tree

Our initial survey and consultation that will be carried out by our professional tree surgeon  will determine your tree’s height, together with the trunk and crown width. The bigger the tree is, the more pruning and trimming work will need to be completed along with any specialised height gaining equipment such as cherry pickers or even cranes on occasions, which can considerably raise the price of your tree surgeon cost. It’s all down to the scale of the job.

Access to the Job

Having good accessibility to the tree or trees in question can have a significant impact on our quotation. For example, if trees are difficult and hard-to-reach then we may need to utilise some of our expensive tree surgeon equipment to cater for and reach some parts, which will also have the extra added time factor involved, and a more time consuming exercise to clear all the excess debris created.

Location of your Trees

If you have a tree that is situated near to a road, wall or fencing, then usually they are most likely easy to remove.

A tree surgeon is a professional in his own right. They are highly trained individuals and tree care specialists in the art of tree surgery. They complete all kinds of tasks on a daily basis including tree trimming, pruning and cutting away any large limbs, they also remove whole trees that can be in a residential customers way or to make way on land or forest for a commercial building project that needs to progress forward. Sometimes this can include stump removals by grinding down the stumps with a large machine purposely built for the job. These unwanted stumps can protrude from the ground and become diseased, hazardous and troublesome on a clients property and they would like them removed to claim back the land. Tree surgeons take care of a multitude of tasks throughout the four seasons, maintaining trees is a full time and never ending pursuit throughout the year, keeping unwanted growth and foliage down to acceptable levels on many different types of properties and land projects.

Other Tree Surgeon abilities are to plant and regenerate new trees and advise customers of the correct trees to plant in their particular area or climate. Tree conservation is always important to any tree surgeon or arborist, they would rather save and preserve an existing tree than remove it altogether. But unfortunately and sadly some trees cannot be saved due to disease or damage and need to be removed before becoming too dangerous and hazardous to buildings or indeed human life.

An Arborist tree specialist can be highly regarded as a Doctor of trees. Rather like a tree surgeon can be classed like a surgeon in the medical world. Arborists go through rigorous academic and practical training at different levels ranging from City and Guilds to Master’s degrees in Forestry and Arboriculture. Arborists usually choose a specialised area to hone their skills and this could be anything like diagnosis and treatments of tree diseases, climbing and pruning, lightning protection cabling and bracing. Sometimes when an Arborist struggles to climb trees through advancing age or injury, they might move into another field of expertise like tree reports, surveying and consultancy work which is less demanding on the body. 

The main difference I would say between an Arborist and a regular tree surgeon is education. Certified Arborists hold the correct certification handed out by the “International Society of Arboriculture” Even here there are different levels and skills from a climber specialist, right up to a ISA Board certified master Arborist. 

The law against cutting trees in the Uk is actually quite complex. The protection of timber has been an issue for centuries, and many laws have been passed to protect forests from being taken away by humans. It can be difficult to tell what is illegal and what is not, but we will go through some of the most important questions and parts of the tree legislation acts

If you're thinking about cutting down a tree, we have the answers to your questions. Whether it's safety precautions or preservation laws that are getting in the way of making decisions on what course is best for your property and trees, our guide has information available from expert sources so no one will reach for their chainsaw before they get all necessary facts correct beforehand.

If you own your home, one does not need permission to cut down a tree that is solely in your garden, unless it has been designated as needing preservation through the Tree Preservation Order or Conservation Area. If you are renting a house and cutting down trees on the rented property grounds, then you must first obtain permission from your landlord before undertaking any work of felling. One can always ask neighbours for help with branches which overhang onto neighbouring gardens/property but they are still owned by the owner of the land where the trunk resides so it’s the owner's responsibility if anything goes wrong, such as an unexpected direction in which branch falls upon neighbour’s garage, shed or outbuilding for example.

Are you looking for some advice on what to do about the height of your neighbour's trees? There are a few things that you can do. The first thing is to talk with them about it. They may not even realise that they have high tree branches and be more than happy to take care of the problem. If they don't know, then ask them how tall their trees were when they bought the house or moved in. You could also check your local by-laws for information on legal height limits for trees, as this varies depending on where you live and local council rules and regulations.

If you are unable to reach an agreement with your neighbours, then contact local authorities as they may be able to help. There is also a possibility that cutting down or trimming the trees might not solve the problem and in this case it would be advisable to consult with a qualified arborist for advice on how best to deal with high tree branches on neighbouring property. You can contact our local tree surgeons at Nottingham Tree Surgery and Arborist Service anytime for a FREE consultation and expert friendly advice for a way forward.

A lifeless oak or ash can make for an eyesore on any property, so most people would want them removed quickly at all costs-including safety concerns such as unstable limbs. This means having professional tree surgeons handle this job from start to finish. Cutting down branch by branch (known as sectional dismantling) until the whole tree has been removed without damaging anyone or the nearby property when they fall over during the disposal process (due largely to the tree's overall weight and size) The average residential homeowner or business will not have the right equipment to safely remove these large ash and oak trees. Also if the trees to be felled are dead, they will be brittle with loose bark and could collapse at any time, adding to the danger. This is why they should always be removed by specialist tree surgeons and Arborists.

The bird nesting season is an important time for birds to find a safe place to raise young. Nesting occurs March 1st through July 31 and during this time the surrounding vegetation such as trees and hedges should be left untouched in order not disturb these fragile environments. Although it may seem impractical, there are exceptions that allow work on trees and hedges if done with care so as not to harm any nests or eggs residing nearby. Always keep safety at the top of your mind when running projects near wildlife habitats. To ensure the safety of nesting birds, before any work is carried out in this season a thorough visual survey needs to be completed. In most cases it will have been determined that there are no nesting birds present or if they are then as long as what you're doing doesn't disrupt their nest near your worksite everything should go smoothly and without incident. It's not just about protecting them but also ensuring we protect ourselves by following these guidelines so everyone can coexist peacefully with minimal disturbance for both parties involved.The courts have been clear that the responsibility lies with both contractor and client to be aware of laws protecting nesting birds. For example, if you disturb a bird's nest they may go ahead and delay work until all nests are empty, but this rule is not limited to just certain species of birds, all wild birds, as well as any eggs found in an unoccupied nest, will be protected from disturbance under these rules. This means it becomes your duty also, so make sure before beginning construction on your property that there isn't anything laid by terns or swallows.
