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 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.

Is it cheaper to cut down a tree yourself?

While it might seem tempting to cut down a tree yourself to save money, it's important to weigh the potential risks and costs involved.
Risks:
  • Safety: Felling a tree is extremely dangerous without proper training and equipment. Falling branches or the entire tree can cause serious injury or even death.
  • Property Damage: If the tree falls in the wrong direction, it could damage your home, vehicles, or other structures on your property.
  • Liability: If you cause damage to your neighbor's property or injure someone while cutting down a tree yourself, you could be held liable.

Costs:
  • Equipment: You'll need to invest in or rent specialized equipment like chainsaws, safety gear, ropes, and potentially a wood chipper.
  • Disposal: You'll be responsible for disposing of the tree debris, which can be time-consuming and expensive, especially for large trees.
  • Repairs: If the tree falls incorrectly and causes damage, you'll have to cover the cost of repairs.

In most cases, the risks and potential costs outweigh any perceived savings from DIY tree removal. Hiring a professional tree service company is the safest and often the most cost-effective option in the long run. They have the experience, equipment, and insurance to handle the job properly and protect you from liability.

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.

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.
