A Guide To Tree Surgery Services

A tree surgeon is a very common job in the United Kingdom, due to the amount of densely wooded areas all over the country. And for all these trees, someone needs to be an expert in looking after them. 

Read on to find exactly what a tree surgeon is and the range of tree surgery services they offer.

Tree Surgeon

While a gardener focuses on a large space, a tree surgeon (or arborist) deals with the health of individual trees. An individual tree can have a big impact on the surrounding area, so a tree surgeon works to diagnose and treat any issues with it to keep the tree in good condition and as a result, keep the surrounding area healthy.

Tree Removal

One of the biggest jobs a tree surgeon can do is the removal of a tree. This could be because the tree is diseased, dangerous or just unwanted. A diseased tree can spread to the surrounding area, so needs to be dealt with quickly. A dangerous tree could be one which may fall in adverse weather conditions that need to be removed in case it falls. 

Tree felling requires sophisticated and high-quality equipment to do so, with an expert tree surgeon needed to safely fell the tree in a controlled manner.

Pruning & Trimming

Tree surgeons can work to prune and trim trees and bushes to keep them neat and tidy. While this may seem like a basic job for a tree surgeon, it is a precise science that should be done with a careful eye for trees and bushes to stay happy and healthy.

Tree Pollarding

Tree pollarding involves removing limbs and branches to help the tree grow back stronger than it was before. This helps keep the woodland healthy, offers an opportunity to examine the tree for sickness and identify damage.

Crown Reduction & Lifting

Crown reduction is a service that helps to keep a tree healthy, by removing dead wood, crossing branches and diseased sections. This is a way to keep the tree alive without removing it completely and has the added benefit of making the tree look tidy after a trim.

Crown lifting is quite similar to crown reduction, but instead of trimming trees for them to stay healthy, it is done to thin out upper canopies and let more light penetrate through the tree.
