What can a tree surgeon help with?

Tree surgeons are often hired when a tree grows out of control and begins to threaten the structural stability of a property. Old trees pose the risk of falling onto your home, whilst hidden tree roots can damage foundations and pipework.

As well as this, arborists offer maintenance services that keep your trees and hedges looking neat and tidy, year-round.

The main jobs tree surgeons carry out include:

  • Tree survey and report
  • Tree care, tree treatment and tree maintenance
  • Assessing hazards posed by trees
  • Tree stump grinding, crown reductions, tree pruning, tree pollarding, tree lopping, tree coppicing, and hedge removal
  • Planting trees
  • Tree removal and clearance

Whether you need a tree stump removed or are looking for a crown reduction specialist, tree surgeons are skilled at a range of tree care, tree surgery and tree removal services.

What should I consider when hiring a tree surgeon?

Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your arborists:

  1. Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
  2. Have all the necessary licenses, insurance and warranties needed to protect you and their workers
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
  4. Are offering the tree surgery services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by
  5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local tree surgeons.

Local tradespeople are more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner. Hire a tree surgeon today to help you maintain or remove the trees in your garden.

How much do tree surgeons cost to hire?

The cost of hiring a tree surgeon varies depending on the size of the tree and the nature of the job:

  • Small Trees (below 25 ft): £150 – £350, typically completed within 4 hours.
  • Medium Trees (25 ft – 50 ft): £200 – £750, usually requiring one full day.
  • Large Trees (50 ft – 75 ft): £650 – £1200, taking 1-2 days.
  • Extra Large Trees (over 75 ft): £1000 – £2500, spanning 2-5 days.

Other tree surgeon FAQs

What is the difference between a tree surgeon and an arborist?

A tree surgeon focuses on the physical maintenance and safe removal of trees, while an arborist also encompasses the study and management of tree health, diseases, and overall care.

Are you allowed to cut trees down in your garden?

Generally, you can cut down trees in your garden unless they are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or you live in a conservation area.

How do I find out if a tree surgeon is qualified?

Check for qualifications such as certifications from recognized bodies like the Arboricultural Association or similar credentials that ensure they are trained and knowledgeable.

They came and looked at the problem and immediately gave a great quote. They came back at the arranged time, sorted out a broken tile and attempted to fix the gutters. They said if there was any issue, to call them and they would came back. Most was perfect, just a few small leaks remaining after heavy rains, but they came back promptly and fixed everything. Very friendly, excellent service, highly recommended.
