Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

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

How long does it take for a tree stump to rot?

The time it takes for a tree stump to rot depends on several factors, including:
  • Tree species: Some tree species have harder, more decay-resistant wood than others.
  • Climate: Warm, humid climates accelerate decomposition, while cold, dry climates slow it down.
  • Moisture: Stumps in moist soil or those exposed to regular rainfall will decompose faster than those in dry conditions.
  • Insect and Fungal Activity: Insects and fungi play a crucial role in breaking down wood. Stumps that are accessible to these organisms will rot faster.
In general, it can take anywhere from 3 to 7 years or even longer for a tree stump to decompose naturally. Stump grinding is a much faster solution, removing the stump immediately.

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 much does tree service cost in UK?

Tree service costs in UK can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
  • Type of service: Tree removal is typically more expensive than trimming or pruning.
  • Size and location of the tree: Larger trees or those in difficult-to-access locations will cost more to remove.
  • Condition of the tree: Trees that are diseased, damaged, or pose a hazard may require specialized equipment or techniques, increasing the cost.
  • Local labor costs: Tree service rates can vary depending on the region and the availability of qualified arborists.

Do tree roots grow towards water?

While tree roots do grow towards moisture, it's not a simple case of them actively seeking out water sources. Roots grow in all directions, but they grow more rapidly and extensively in areas where they encounter favorable conditions, including moisture.
Roots have specialized cells called 'root hairs' that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. These root hairs are more abundant in moist soil, so roots naturally extend more in those areas. However, roots also need oxygen to survive, so they will not grow into waterlogged soil. The direction of root growth is influenced by a combination of factors, including moisture, oxygen availability, soil nutrients, and the tree's overall health.
