  • Fairoaks Tree Services

    London, GB

    If you’re looking for honest, reliable and professional garden services in London, Surrey and the surrounding areas, Fair Oaks Tree Services can help. Our team of NPTC-qualified arborists offers everything from specialist tree surgery to landscaping, garden clearances and fencing. We’re dedicated to helping our customers with all their tree- and garden-related needs, whether that’s removing a nuisance tree stump, building a concrete shed base, or felling an entire row of diseased trees because the roots are encroaching on a neighbour’s property. Our highly trained arborists are specialists in all areas of tree care, and our expertise means that we can constantly provide the best possible service for our customers. We think it’s the little details that make a huge difference to the quality of tree care – for example, knowing that crown reduction should never be done in spring, as this can cause a tree to ‘bleed’ with sap, or correctly identifying soil types so that they can be properly prepared for planting. Caring about details like this enables us to make sure your garden is as healthy as possible.

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 £2,000 or more. To get a more accurate estimate for your specific tree, request free quotes from reputable tree service companies on LocalTreeSurgeon.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

While the terms 'tree trimming' and 'tree pruning' are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle difference:
Tree Trimming: Primarily focuses on improving a tree's appearance. It involves selectively removing branches to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve clearance for structures or utilities.
Tree Pruning: Focuses on maintaining or improving the tree's health and structure. It involves removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to prevent the spread of disease, encourage new growth, and improve the tree's overall vigor.
In practice, trimming and pruning often overlap, and a skilled arborist will usually combine both techniques to achieve the desired results for your trees.

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.

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.
