Services on offer
Local tree surgeons carry out crown reduction, tree felling and sectional removal, stump grinding, emergency storm damage clearance, hedge trimming, and tree health assessments. Many hold Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status and can advise on Tree Preservation Orders and planning constraints before any work begins.
Qualifications and accreditations to look for
The Arboricultural Association operates an Approved Contractor scheme - AA-approved tree surgeons are audited annually and must demonstrate compliance with BS 3998, the British Standard for tree work. Check whether the tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or is in a Conservation Area before any work begins, as cutting or removing protected trees without consent is a criminal offence.
