Do I Require a Tree Surgeon?
If you have a tree issue, hedge problem or overgrowth affecting your house or boundary fence, it’s advisable for homeowners to call a tree surgeon or arborist for expert tree work. At Tree Squadron, our arborists are fully trained, qualified and fully insured to carry out any size job, even at height, with risk assessments completed and safety prioritised before work begins. By using the right equipment and our expertise, every job is not only carried out to a high standard to ensure future long-term health of the tree, but it’s also done safely too. High access tree surgery may involve specialist equipment such as cherry pickers, and this work is completed in accordance with BS3998 standards as part of our commitment to tree safety and safe arboricultural practice. In tight spaces, tree removal and safe tree felling can be carried out using controlled dismantling techniques, and same day help may be available for urgent situations as part of a 24-hour emergency response. If a tree is protected by a tree preservation order, consent may be required before removal begins, and it’s vital to understand UK tree removal rules for protected and unprotected trees before any work goes ahead.
Local tree surgeons like Tree Squadron are always advisable to use as they know the local area well, understand the ecosystem and have expert knowledge about the trees around Penarth and South Wales, which is why understanding how to choose a tree surgeon is so important for homeowners.
