If you are unsure whether you are in a conservation area or have any TPO’s (Tree Preservation Orders) on any of your trees, just ask. Prior to most quotations we will check if you are in a conservation area which means we can let you know at the time of the quote.
If you are in a conservation area or any of the trees have TPO’s on them then an application must be submitted to the local authorities. We are happy to submit an application for any customers, but you can also apply yourself via your local council website.
With trees in conservation areas an application usually takes 6 weeks to go through and work can start straight after. Applications regarding trees with TPO’s (Tree Preservation Orders) it may take a little longer, usually around 8 weeks.

Hedges may also be subject to certain trimming times, but most tend to be trimmed during summer.
Ash dieback is a disease which effects Ash trees. It is causes by a fungus called Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. It causes loss of leaves, crown dieback and lesions on the bark of the tree.
Once Ash dieback has infected a tree the outcome is usually fatal. If you have any concerns about an Ash tree you can call us and we will pop out and let you know if your tree is at risk or not.
Pollarding is essentially a method of pruning in which all the smaller branches are removed to leave a skeleton of a tree. This can mean cutting it back to just leave a trunk (we call this a monolith) or leaving a few larger branches to retain some sort of shape.
Pollarding can only really be done with certain species of tree such as Willow, Poplar and a few others.

We believe that health and safety should be number 1 priority for any company and especially for one that deals with the hazards of tree surgery. This is why we will do everything we can to make sure every job we do is well planned for and walked through with every team member prior to starting any job.
Not only does this give everyone involved a chance to point out any potential hazards or risks but also means everyone on that job knows what roll they are playing making jobs run smoother and more efficiently. Cones and Tree cutting signs will be place out on every job if it’s necessary no matter how small the job and hi-vis jackets will be worn by all staff if the job is in a busy area or on a road.
