Tree Surgeon Derby - Expert Tree Surgeons For All Tree Surgery Work in Derby and Derbyshire

Our Tree Surgery Process

We take pride in delivering professional and efficient tree surgery services. Here's how our process works, from the initial consultation to tidying up after the job is done.

Initial Consultation

Contact and Assessment: The process begins when you contact us to discuss your tree care needs. We arrange an initial consultation, either over the phone or in-person, to assess the situation. Providing photos of the trees or plants in question can help us give you a faster and more accurate quote.

Detailed Quote: Based on the initial assessment, we provide a detailed quote. If a quote is given over the phone, it will be confirmed on-site by our arborists on the day of the service. If necessary, we can conduct an on-site survey to finalise the cost. Sometimes, this survey can be done on the same day as the service, but usually, it is scheduled separately.

Performing the Work

Arrival and Preparation: On the scheduled day, a team of two experienced arborists arrives at your property. Please ensure they have easy access to your property and a convenient parking space for their equipment.

Equipment Setup: The team parks and prepares their tools and machinery. One arborist climbs the tree while the other assists from the ground, passing equipment and managing the cut branches.

Safe and Efficient Operation: Safety is our priority. Our arborists use advanced techniques and equipment to perform the work efficiently and safely. Whether it’s pruning, trimming, or complete tree removal, our team handles each task with precision.

Tidying Up

Green Waste Management: After completing the tree surgery, we manage the green waste according to your preference. We can remove all green waste from your property upon request for an additional fee, leaving your space clean and tidy.

Final Inspection: Our team conducts a final inspection to ensure all work has been completed to the highest standard. We review the site with you to confirm your satisfaction with our service.

Follow-Up and Support

Customer Satisfaction: Your satisfaction is important to us. We follow up to ensure you are happy with the results and to address any further questions or concerns you might have.

Ongoing Care: Tree surgery is an ongoing part of tree and garden maintenance. We offer additional services to keep your trees and garden in top condition year-round.

Do I need permission to cut down a tree in my garden?

Whether you need permission to cut down a tree in your garden depends on several factors, including local laws, the size and species of the tree, and any preservation orders in place. In many areas, trees are protected by local government regulations or conservation bylaws, which can require a permit for removal. Additionally, if the tree is part of a designated conservation area or is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you will need to seek formal approval before proceeding. It is advisable to check with your local council or municipal office to understand the specific regulations and obtain any necessary permissions to avoid potential fines or legal issues.

What is a Tree Preservation Order? (TPO)

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal mechanism used by local authorities to protect specific trees, groups of trees, or woodlands from deliberate damage, destruction, or removal. The primary purpose of a TPO is to preserve trees that contribute significantly to the landscape, environment, or historical context of an area. Trees under a TPO cannot be pruned, lopped, or felled without prior consent from the local planning authority. Violating a TPO can result in substantial fines or legal action. Homeowners and land managers need to check for TPOs before commencing any work on their trees, ensuring compliance with local regulations and protecting valuable natural resources.

What is the difference between an arborist and a tree surgeon?

An arborist and a tree surgeon, while often used interchangeably, perform distinct roles in the care and maintenance of trees. An arborist, sometimes referred to as a tree care specialist, is primarily concerned with the health and well-being of trees. They are trained to assess the condition of trees, diagnose issues such as diseases or pest infestations, and recommend appropriate treatments or preventive measures. Arborists also provide guidance on proper tree planting, pruning techniques, and overall maintenance to promote long-term tree health.

On the other hand, a tree surgeon is more focused on practical tree care tasks, particularly those involving physical intervention. Tree surgeons are skilled in the removal of hazardous branches, tree cutting, and stump grinding, often involving the use of heavy machinery and climbing equipment. Their work is typically more labor-intensive and requires a strong understanding of safety protocols to prevent damage to property or injury during tree removal or surgery tasks. While both professionals play essential roles in tree care, their expertise and approach differ, with arborists emphasising tree health and tree surgeons concentrating on remedial and removal tasks.

How much does it cost to cut a large tree down UK?

Some professionals may charge per hour while others might offer a flat rate price for particular types and sizes of trees. Also keep in mind there are different ways to cut down trees such as: Chainsaw, Bow Saw & Chipper/Grinder method.

What Is Ground Heave and What Causes It?

Ground heave is the upward movement of soil caused by the growth of tree roots. The roots grow and expand, pushing against the sides of the hole in which they are growing. This can cause the ground to rise up, sometimes by several feet. The primary cause of ground heave is trees that have been planted too close to buildings. There are several considerations on this subject and we have review them extensively on this page.

Do I need a tree surgeon or gardener?

Determining whether you need a tree surgeon or gardener depends on the specific needs of your garden or landscape. A tree surgeon, also known as an arborist, specialises in the care and maintenance of trees. They are trained to handle tasks such as tree pruning, disease diagnosis, and tree removal, ensuring the health and safety of trees. On the other hand, a gardener tends to a wider variety of plants, including flowers, shrubs, and lawn care. Gardeners are skilled in planting, weeding, mulching, and general garden maintenance. If your primary concern involves the health or structure of trees, a tree surgeon is likely required. However, for overall garden upkeep and plant care, a gardener would be the appropriate choice.
