Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

Find answers to common questions about tree care and hiring professional tree service companies in UK.

How much does it cost to remove a large tree?

Removing a large tree is a complex task that often requires specialized equipment and expertise. The cost can vary significantly based on factors like:
  • Tree Height and Diameter: Taller and wider trees require more time and equipment to remove safely.
  • Location and Accessibility: Trees located near structures, power lines, or in difficult-to-access areas will cost more to remove.
  • Condition of the Tree: Trees that are diseased, damaged, or have weak branches may require specialized techniques for safe removal, adding to the cost.
  • Stump Removal: If you want the stump removed as well, this will add to the overall cost.
  • Debris Removal and Cleanup: The cost of hauling away the tree debris and cleaning up the work area is usually included in the overall price.
  • Local Labor Costs: Tree removal rates can vary depending on the region and the availability of qualified arborists.
In UK, large tree removal typically costs between £500 and £3,000 or more. To get a more accurate estimate for your specific tree, request free quotes from reputable tree service companies on LocalTreeSurgeon.

How do I know if my tree is diseased?

Look for these signs of tree disease:
  • Leaf discoloration or spots: Yellowing, browning, or spotting on leaves can indicate fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, or other problems.
  • Premature leaf drop: Losing leaves earlier than usual or outside of the normal seasonal cycle can be a sign of stress or disease.
  • Dieback of branches: Branches dying from the tips inward can indicate disease, insect infestation, or drought stress.
  • Cankers or lesions: Sunken or discolored areas on the bark can indicate fungal or bacterial infections.
  • Mushrooms or conks growing on the trunk or roots: These are often signs of decay fungi.
  • Wilting or drooping leaves: Can indicate a lack of water, root damage, or vascular disease.
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to contact a certified arborist for a professional diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

What questions should I ask a tree service company?

Before hiring a tree service company, ask these questions:
  • Experience and qualifications: 'How long have you been in business? Are your arborists certified? What experience do you have with similar projects?'
  • Licensing and insurance: 'Are you licensed and insured? Can you provide proof of insurance?'
  • Safety practices: 'What safety measures do you take to protect your workers and my property during the project?'
  • Cleanup and disposal: 'What will you do with the tree debris after the job? Will you remove the stump and clean up the work area?'
  • References: 'Can you provide references from previous clients?'
  • Written estimates: 'Can you provide a detailed written estimate outlining the scope of work, costs, and timeframe?'
Asking these questions can help you find a reputable company that prioritizes safety, quality, and customer satisfaction.

Why do tree roots grow above ground?

Tree roots growing above ground, also known as surface roots, can be caused by:
  • Shallow Soil: In areas with thin or compacted soil, roots may not be able to penetrate deeply and instead grow near the surface.
  • Soil Compaction: Heavy foot traffic, construction activities, or vehicles can compact the soil, making it difficult for roots to grow downward.
  • Low Oxygen Levels: Roots need oxygen to survive, and in poorly drained or compacted soil, they may grow near the surface to access more oxygen.
  • Seeking Nutrients: Roots may grow towards areas with higher nutrient concentrations, which can be near the surface in some cases.
  • Tree Species: Some tree species are naturally prone to surface roots, such as maples, willows, and poplars.
  • Age: As trees age, their root systems expand, and some roots may naturally grow closer to the surface.
Surface roots can pose tripping hazards, damage sidewalks or driveways, and interfere with mowing. Addressing underlying issues like soil compaction or drainage can help prevent excessive surface root growth.
