Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

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

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.

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.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in UK?

Whether or not you need a permit to remove a tree in UK depends on local regulations. In some areas, permits are required for removing trees of a certain size or those located within protected areas.
It's essential to check with your local council or municipality for specific tree removal regulations. Reputable tree service companies are typically familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if a permit is needed.

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.
