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.

How do I stop my neighbor's tree roots from growing into my yard?

Dealing with encroaching tree roots from a neighbor's property can be challenging. Here are some options:
  • Communication: The first step is to talk to your neighbor and explain the issue. They may be willing to trim the roots or remove the tree if it's causing damage.
  • Root Pruning: You can cut back the roots at the property line, but it's essential to do this carefully to avoid damaging the tree. Consult with a certified arborist for guidance on proper root pruning techniques.
  • Root Barrier Installation: Installing a physical barrier, such as a thick plastic sheet or metal edging, can prevent roots from growing into your yard. The barrier should be at least 2 feet deep and extend several feet from the trunk.
  • Chemical Control (Not Recommended): Chemical root killers are available, but they are generally not recommended due to potential environmental damage and the risk of harming the tree.
It's important to be aware of any local regulations or easements that may affect your options for dealing with encroaching roots. If communication with your neighbor fails to resolve the issue, you may need to seek legal advice.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional tree service?

There are numerous benefits to hiring a professional tree service:
  • Safety: Tree work can be dangerous, especially when dealing with large trees or hazardous situations. Professional arborists are trained in safe climbing, cutting, and rigging techniques, minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries.
  • Expertise: Certified arborists have the knowledge and experience to properly assess tree health, identify potential hazards, and recommend the best course of action.
  • Specialized Equipment: Tree service companies have access to specialized tools and equipment, such as aerial lifts, cranes, and stump grinders, enabling them to handle complex jobs efficiently and safely.
  • Efficiency: Professionals can complete tree work much faster than homeowners, saving you time and effort.
  • Proper Cleanup: Reputable tree service companies will clean up the work area thoroughly, removing debris and leaving your property tidy. They'll also handle the disposal of tree waste responsibly.
  • Peace of Mind: Hiring a professional provides peace of mind knowing that the job will be done correctly and safely. You'll also be protected by their insurance coverage in case of accidents or damage.
While some basic tree care tasks might be suitable for DIY, it's always best to consult with a professional arborist for anything that involves climbing, cutting, or removing large branches or entire trees. Their expertise and specialized equipment are essential for ensuring safety and preserving the health of your trees.

What is the best time of year to trim trees?

The best time to trim trees depends on the tree species and the type of trimming needed. Here are some general guidelines:
  • Dormant Season (Late Fall to Early Spring): This is generally the best time to trim most deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in fall) as they are not actively growing. Trimming during dormancy reduces stress on the tree and allows for better wound closure.
  • Spring: Light pruning and shaping can be done in spring before the tree's leaves fully emerge.
  • Summer: Trimming can be done in summer to remove dead or diseased branches. However, avoid heavy pruning during hot weather, as it can stress the tree.
  • Fall: Some light pruning can be done in fall after the leaves have fallen, but it's best to avoid major pruning before winter.
Specific tree species may have different optimal trimming times, so it's always best to consult with a certified arborist for guidance. They can assess your trees and recommend the best time to trim them for optimal health and safety.
