Why Should You Consider Calling A Professional Tree Surgeon?

The most common reasons to get in touch with us are:

• You think there is something wrong with your trees. You should quickly contact a tree doctor if you notice worrisome signs like dry leaves or the bark of outer branches suddenly changing colour.
• The tree crown has become somewhat unruly and takes up too much space. Branches do not grow according to your wish, but we can trim them without adverse effects on the overall condition of the tree. If you want more light or space in the garden, we can achieve it for you in minutes!
• The last storm wreaked havoc in the backyard. Our advice is not to try to deal with the problem on your own. You may do it with the best of intentions but cause irreparable damage to the trees.

Bullet-proof Certification And TPO Policy

In our line of work, we strictly abide by the following UK rules and regulations:

• BS 3998: 1989 – British Standard Recommendation for Tree Work
• BS 5837: 1991 – Trees in Relation to Construction.

Remember that certain trees in your neighbourhood may fall under the Tree Preservation Order (TPO) due to their age or biodiversity. As such, we can only work on them after permission from the local authorities. 

Do not worry – we will take care of all the necessary documentation for you, filing the permission request and tracking its progress. 

Our Commitment To Responsible And Eco-friendly Tree Treatment

First and foremost, we recognise the importance of trees in an urban ecosystem. They serve as a natural habitat for multiple nesting bird species and some rodents (squirrels, for example). We take the utmost care in every procedure to avoid nest destruction and disturb the small animals nearby.

While the use of gas-fuelled chainsaws is inevitable for heavy-duty tasks, we prefer to work with hand saws whenever possible. In the last few years, we have made a concerted effort to invest in lithium-ion battery saws, which will become more powerful and efficient by the year! Our goal is to keep the carbon input of our job to a minimum and eventually bring it to a nill.

By default, tree pruning leaves some tree residue after completion. We work with some of the leading London subcontractors to recycle the wood chop and use it to produce low-carbon electricity.
