Have you ever tried trimming a tree yourself? It seems simple at first—until you find yourself dangling off a ladder with a branch in one hand and a saw in the other, wondering how you got there. Tree care isn’t just about snipping a few twigs; it’s hard work that requires skill, precision, and, most importantly, a lot of patience. Instead of wrestling with unruly branches or risking your Saturday (and your safety), why not leave it to the experts at The Original Tree Surgeons?
Safety Comes First
Tree work can be dangerous, especially when it involves climbing large trees, using chainsaws, or removing heavy branches. Accidents can happen quickly without the right tools, training, and experience. However, we have the skills to handle these risks safely. Whether it's safely felling a tree near power lines or removing a damaged branch hanging precariously over your garden shed, we take the necessary precautions to keep you safe. With our specialised tools, we’re equipped with the safest techniques to minimise hazards.
Expertise in Tree Health
Like any other living thing, trees can suffer from diseases or damage that might not be obvious to the untrained eye. Certified tree surgeons understand the early signs of issues like fungal infections, pest infestations, and root rot. We can diagnose these problems and recommend the best course of action to restore your tree’s health—or safely remove it if necessary.
Long-Term Savings
While it might be tempting to tackle tree work yourself or hire the cheapest option available, this can often lead to more expensive problems down the line. Incorrect pruning can weaken a tree, making it more susceptible to storm damage. Plus, poor removal techniques can leave behind dangerous stumps or roots.
Instead, hire a certified tree surgeon from the start so that the job is done correctly the first time, saving you money on future repairs or emergency removals.
Compliance with Local Regulations
Tree work often involves understanding local regulations. In many areas, especially in and around London, there are strict rules on which trees can be cut down and how pruning should be carried out. Some trees may even be protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs).
Our tree surgeons are well-versed in these regulations and will confirm that all work is carried out legally and responsibly. This helps you avoid fines or penalties while keeping your property looking its best. If a tree needs to be removed, we’ll handle the necessary permits and paperwork so you don’t have to.
Professional Equipment and Clean up
Tree surgery requires more than just a ladder and a saw. Professionals use advanced equipment, including harnesses, wood chippers, and stump grinders, to handle the job efficiently and safely. Renting and operating this equipment yourself can be costly and dangerous.
However, that's only part of what professionals do. We also take care of the clean up, removing all waste and leaving your property tidy. So, that’s one less thing for you to worry about!
Peace of Mind
Perhaps the greatest benefit of hiring a certified tree surgeon is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your trees are in expert hands. You can trust that our team from Original Tree Surgeons are fully qualified and they will handle your project with care and professionalism, be it a small pruning job or a large-scale tree removal.
