    Linlithgow, Champany Corner, EH49 7LT, GB

    ESTABLISHED 20 YEARS FREE ESTIMATES EMERGENCY CALL OUT STUMP GRINDING 100% OF THE DEBRIS WE REMOVE IS RECYCLED TREE REMOVAL & FELLING DIRECTIONAL TREE FELLING : Where space and safety permit the tree can be felled in one piece. DISMANTLING : Also known as Sectional Felling>>> Very often space is limited and the tree must be taken down piece by piece. if the area below the tree is clear and free from obstructions the cut branches can simply be allowed to fall. When branches are too large or heavy for the climber to hold and throw clear or obstacles prevent their free falling, then lowering ropes must be used. CROWN REDUCTION Complete reduction of the size of the tree. By careful removal of the crown to produce a smaller sized canopy. This is very specialist work, normally no more than 30% of the total tree should be removed at any one time unless safety is an issue. Branches should be removed to growth points wherever possible. CROWN LIFTING The removal of lower branches to lift the height of the crown. DEADWOODING The removal of dead branches, to reduce the hazard of them falling onto buildings, vehicles, or the public. POLLARDING The removal of all branches leaving just the trunk. Pollarding is not aesthetically pleasing initially. this can only be carried out on certain species. Pollarding is an extreme form of tree surgery which requires regular upkeep. THINNING This involves the reduction of the density of the crown. This would not normally be carried out on conifers, so it is generally confined to deciduous broadleaf trees. STUMP GRINDING EMERGENCY CALLOUT We are also available for emergency callout to deal with any potentially dangerous situations as quickly as possible. If this is the case we will put safety first and prioritise urgent work in order to ensure the welfare of the tree and the surrounding environment. As with all estimates there is no callout charge. Please inform us if your situation is urgent and should you accept our estimate we may be able to deal with problem immediately.

  • McNamara Tree Surveys

    Belfast, GB

    McNamara Tree Surveys is the home of expert tree consultancy in Northern Ireland providing the following services: Tree Surveys in Support of Planning Applications Risk Assessment Tree Surveys Health and Condition Tree Surveys Mortgage Report Tree Surveys Sometimes referred to as BS 5837 surveys or Arboricultural Impact Assessments, Tree Surveys in support of Planning Applications consider the impact that proposed developments may have on trees. Councils within Northern Ireland require all planning applications that may impact trees, particularly those protected by Tree Preservation Orders, to be accompanied by an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (Tree Survey). The risk posed by trees to people and property is actually far lower than many people think, but it is not zero. Our risk assessment tree surveys have been specifically designed to examine the health and condition of individual trees and couple that with the risk that the tree may or may not pose to people and property. All tree owners have a duty of care which means that they must take all reasonable steps to avoid their trees causing injury/damage to people and property. Regular tree surveys not only reduce the chances of the worst happening, but they also provide legal coverage to tree owners. Our Risk Assessment Tree Surveys are particularly useful to organisations like schools and churches, who have a number of trees within their grounds. When we conduct a Health and Condition Tree Survey, we take a scientific approach to analysing the health and condition of your tree. Using the Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) method we will investigate the physiological condition of your tree, looking for indicators of stress and ill-health. In addition to that we will also carry out a thorough investigation of the tree’s biomechanical structure, looking for areas of weakness or defects from the roots to the tip of the crown that could contribute to the tree’s failure. Just like us, tree’s succumb to ill-health and develop complications that either impact their quality of life or shorten their lives. That’s why regular Health and Condition Tree Surveys are necessary, to provide a proactive rather than reactive approach to tree management that helps all types of trees to prolong their lives. When you take out a mortgage, your provider may ask for an Arboricultural Inspection to ensure that nearby growing trees are not impacting on the property and pose no risk of future damage. Our Mortgage Report Tree Surveys are detailed and comprehensive and satisfy the criteria of all the major lenders. Mortgage Report Tree Surveys are an insurance blanket from mortgage providers on their investment. They allay the lenders fear that a tree may damage the property at some point in the future and thus devalue it. If you own a tree, it is likely that you will need a tree survey at some point, whether that be to keep an eye on the health of a tree in your back garden with high sentimental value or for risk assessment purposes. If you’re still unsure, get in touch and we can advise as to whether or not a tree survey is necessary. Every Tree Survey is different, which is why we like to provide custom quotations that take into account the scope of works and the amount of trees that require surveying. Below is a rough guide to our Tree Survey pricing structure: Risk Assessment Tree Survey (Less than 20 trees): £395 Mortgage Report Tree Survey (Less than 20 trees): £245 Health and Condition Tree Survey (Less than 20 trees): £295 Tree Survey in Support of Planning Application (BS 5837 Tree Survey) : Price available on request

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

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

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Several signs indicate a tree may need to be removed:
  • Significant damage or decay: If a tree has extensive damage to its trunk, roots, or branches, or shows signs of significant decay, it may be structurally unsound and pose a hazard.
  • Leaning precariously: A tree leaning excessively towards a structure, power lines, or other valuable assets poses a risk of falling and causing damage.
  • Disease or infestation: Trees infected with diseases or infested with pests can weaken and become hazardous. Professional assessment is needed to determine if treatment is possible or if removal is necessary.
  • Root problems: Trees with damaged or compromised root systems can be unstable and pose a risk of falling. Signs include heaving soil, root exposure, or mushrooms growing at the base of the tree.
  • Interfering with structures or utilities: If a tree is growing too close to a building, foundation, power lines, or other utilities, it may need to be removed to prevent damage or interference.
  • Overcrowding or competition: Trees growing too close together can compete for resources, leading to stunted growth or decline. Selective removal may be necessary to improve the health of the remaining trees.
It's always best to consult with a qualified arborist to assess the health and safety of your trees and determine the best course of action.

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.

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.

What are the most common tree problems?

Trees can be affected by a variety of problems:
  • Diseases: Fungal, bacterial, or viral infections that can weaken trees, cause defoliation, or lead to death.
  • Pests: Insects or other animals that can damage leaves, branches, bark, or roots, weakening the tree and making it more susceptible to disease.
  • Environmental Stress: Drought, extreme temperatures, poor soil conditions, or pollution can stress trees, making them more vulnerable to pests and disease.
  • Mechanical Damage: Wounds caused by construction, lawnmowers, or vehicles can create entry points for pests and disease.
  • Structural Defects: Weak branches, cracks, or cavities in the trunk can weaken the tree's structure and make it prone to breakage.
  • Improper Pruning: Incorrect pruning techniques can damage trees, create wounds, and make them more susceptible to disease.
Regular inspections by a qualified arborist can help identify and address tree problems early, preventing further damage and maintaining tree health.
