Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

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

How close to a house can you plant a tree?

The recommended distance for planting a tree from a house depends on the tree's mature size and root system. As a general rule, plant trees at least:
  • 10 feet away from foundations for small trees (mature height under 30 feet).
  • 20 feet away from foundations for medium-sized trees (mature height 30-70 feet).
  • 30 feet or more away from foundations for large trees (mature height over 70 feet).
Planting too close can lead to root damage to foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities. It's always a good idea to research the mature size and root system of the specific tree species you're considering and consult with a certified arborist for guidance on proper placement.

Is it OK to cut tree roots?

Cutting tree roots can be necessary in some situations, but it should always be done with caution and preferably under the guidance of a certified arborist.
**When it's OK to cut roots:**
  • Small roots: Cutting small, superficial roots during landscaping or gardening is usually not a significant problem for the tree.
  • Encroaching roots: Roots growing into sidewalks, driveways, or foundations may need to be cut back. However, it's essential to do this carefully to avoid damaging the tree's structural integrity.
  • Root pruning for transplanting: Before transplanting a tree, root pruning is done to encourage new root growth within a smaller area, making the transplanting process more successful.

**Risks of cutting tree roots:**
  • Tree instability: Cutting large structural roots can weaken the tree's support system, making it more susceptible to windthrow or breakage.
  • Disease entry: Cuts create wounds that can serve as entry points for disease-causing organisms.
  • Reduced nutrient and water uptake: Cutting roots can limit the tree's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Before cutting any significant tree roots, consult with a certified arborist to assess the situation, determine the best course of action, and minimize the risk of damage to the tree.

What is the best way to protect trees during construction?

Protecting trees during construction projects is crucial for preserving their health and preventing damage. Here are some key steps to take:
  • Tree Protection Zone (TPZ): Establish a designated area around the trees that is off-limits to construction activities. The size of the TPZ depends on the tree's size and species, but generally, it should extend to the drip line (the outermost edge of the tree's canopy).
  • Root Protection: Avoid digging, trenching, or compacting the soil within the TPZ. If excavation is necessary, use hand digging or air spading to minimize root disturbance.
  • Trunk Protection: Protect tree trunks from damage by wrapping them with protective barriers, such as burlap or plywood.
  • Branch Protection: Avoid cutting or damaging branches unless absolutely necessary. If pruning is required, have it done by a certified arborist.
  • Watering: Ensure trees receive adequate water during construction, especially if the soil has been disturbed or compacted.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor trees for signs of stress or damage during and after construction.
Consulting with a certified arborist during the planning stages of a construction project can help ensure the protection of valuable trees on the site. They can provide expert advice on establishing TPZs, minimizing root disturbance, and mitigating potential impacts on tree health.

How deep do tree roots grow?

The depth of tree roots varies depending on factors such as:
  • Tree species: Some trees have deep taproots, while others have more shallow, spreading root systems.
  • Soil type: Roots tend to grow deeper in loose, well-drained soil and shallower in compacted or rocky soil.
  • Water availability: Roots will grow deeper in search of moisture in dry conditions.
In general, most tree roots are found within the top 3 feet of soil. However, some trees can have roots that extend much deeper, especially in favorable conditions. For example, oak trees can have taproots that go down 10 feet or more.
