Tree Surgeon FAQs

Do tree surgeons need a waste carriers licence?

If you’re looking to become a tree surgeon or perhaps you just need to hire a reliable tree surgeon for your home or business establishment, one of the things you’d first need to consider is whether or not a waste carriers license is required. If you’re also having the same concern, then you’ve come to the right place! In this post, we’re going to consider whether or not a waste carriers license is a required license for tree surgeons. Let’s take a look!

First and foremost, let’s consider the meaning of a waste carriers license. If you happen to carry waste on the public highway, a valid waste carriers license is a must. This is also applicable to any business which transports, buys, sells or disposes wastes or arranges for another person to buy, sell or disposes of waste. What’s more? This does not necessarily have to be your primary area of business, but so far it’s a part of the activities you engage in. As a homeowner, it’s your responsibility as a producer of waste to make sure that it’s being handled legally and correctly even after the waste has left your premises. In the event whereby your waste has been disposed of illegally or wrongly, you should be able to stand your ground that you’ve done everything in your power to make sure your waste was handled and disposed of the proper way. One way you can ensure that is by ensuring your waste carriers can legally carry your waste.

According to the Environment Agency, all tree surgeons and arboriculture-contracting companies transports and carries waste regularly are required to obtain a Waste Carrier’s license to do so. 

when to prune leylandii?

When home or property owners decide to plant a Leylandii, they mostly think about how great it is as a hedging and screening plant and forgetting it also require a regular maintenance to keep in good shape. One thing about Leylandii are they do not re grow if you happen to cut back into the old wood. Once it turns brown, it will remain like that with no possible solutions to remedy the situation as they have little to no ability to regrow from the old wood.

In order to maintain your Leylandii hedge in good shape and order, that’s not too wide or too tall, then it’s recommended that it should be trimmed at least once a year. By doing this, you’re more likely to cut only into the new green growth which will enable the hedging plant look great and green with no brown patches. So when is the best time to prune a Leylandii hedge plant in a year?

Generally, it’s advisable to cut back mature or overgrown Leylandii hedges in the UK about two to three cuts between the months of April and August. By this time, your hedge plant will already be well established and ready for some maintenance and care. However, if there’s a chance that you might not be able to prune it on a yearly basis, the we’d suggest you get a slower growing alternative instead. Some of the alternatives which are slower growing and unlike Leylandii, can regenerate when cut back into the old wood are several types of Thuja as well as English Yew.

Below are some guidelines you can follow when trimming your Leylandii hedge:

• Do not cut Leylandii hedges during very forsty or hot weather.

• Do not cut the hedges during wet conditions to allow the cut dry and heal quickly.

• Make use of sharp tools.

• Cut on a cool and breezy day.

how much does a tree surgeon cost?

How Much Does A Tree Surgeon Cost?

When there’s an unhealthy or over grown tree in your otherwise beautiful garden, not only does it affect the garden’s entire visual appeal, but also constitutes some health hazards to all those staying close by or visitors. To resolve this issue, it’s crucial to get in touch with a local tree surgeon as soon as possible. However for most people, before picking up the phone to dial the number, they’ll often want to know just much it would cost to hire the services of a tree surgeon. Good news is, be it a regular maintenance task of lopping and pruning the tree or perhaps you want it totally removed, it may not cost as much as you would think. So exactly how much does a tree surgeon charge?

There are several factors that affects the price a tree surgeon would charge for a job. These factors include the size of your tree, the tree’s accessibility (is the tree easy or hard to reach?), the location of the tree, the type of the job required, the type of the tree as well as the tree count, the job length (the time it’ll takes to complete the job), tree health and diseases as well as the removal and disposal of a tree’s remains. Considering all the above factors, it’s normal to think the cost of hiring a tree surgeon is a lot more expensive than you would have first imagined. However, they’re usually a lot less and competitive.

Generally, you can expect local tree surgeons to charge within a range of £500 to £650 on the average for a day’s work. But you should note there are smaller companies that only accept easier jobs. Overall, a team comprising one to two workers will cost between the range of £400 to £550 a day, based on your location.

Can a tree close to a building be felled?

Many tree surgeons offer a specialist service for trees that cannot be easily felled via a simple cut. Sectional dismantling is used which involves making several cuts to slice the tree into small sections which can be brought back to the ground safely. Using this method will allow tree surgeons to fell trees that pose risks to nearby buildings in a safe manner.

can removing a tree cause foundation problems?

One of the most common problems in houses and buildings especially in recent times are structural deficiencies. There are two types of foundation owners as identified by foundation experts and structural engineer. These includes those with foundation problems as well as those who will. With the great increase in the number of field foundations as well as the continued ageing of already existing field foundations, the number of foundation deficiencies in the future is also likely to increase.

Foundation problems are caused by a wide array of reasons which can vary significantly from one place to the other. One of the greatest causes is soil diversity whereby soils in the vicinity may be of a single type, however there are soil types across the area may include clay, sandy loam, sand, rock or even a blend of these materials. While this can result in a big local plant palette which is to the delight of plant enthusiasts, it may not be that great for foundations. Consequently, the diversity in soil types and conditions makes it impossible to give a precise answer to a foundation problem anywhere.

Generally, when a tree grows very close to a foundation you’ll require the advise of a professional arborist consultant. The goal of an arborist consultant is to educate the home or property owner how trees can affect foundations. Therefore, the simple answer to the question whether removing a tree can cause foundation problems is yes. By checking all the related issues, foundation experts, arborist and others can determine whether or not removing a particular tree can cause foundation problems. As a result, before the removal of any tree you must ensure you hire the services of a seasoned tree surgeon who would know his way around without really affecting your foundation.

are tree surgeons expensive?

Do you have a tree in your garden that doesn’t seem to be faring very well? If you think its time to call on a tree surgeon for help, you might also be wondering how much you will be charged for hiring a tree surgeon especially if you’re on a tight budget. However, the fact remains that the amount a tree surgeon will charge largely depends on a range of influencing factors. And before we proceed, it’s important to note that most tree surgery companies will deliver a wide array of tree surgery services rather than trying to sell service packages. So what are the factors influencing the service cost charged by a tree surgeon? Let’s have a look!

• Tree Size

Before carrying out a job, a survey of the tree in question would be conducted. This normally includes taking measurement of the height, crown as well as the trunk width in order to determine how large the tree is. If it’s a very large tree, it may require the use of a heavy duty equipment to cut down which will make the job more expensive.

• Accessibility

If the tree does not have sufficient access to make for an easy cut down, then the project will be more expensive.

• Location of the Tree

In the event whereby the tree happens o be close to building or power lines, this will require more efforts to have it removed which also means more money.

• Tree Type & Count

The cost of tree surgeon will also on the type of the tree in question as well as the number of the trees.

• Waste Removal

After trimming or cutting down a tree, the removal and disposal of the tree can further attract more costs. Some tree surgery companies will charge you for the services, while others may not.

how to remove a conifer tree?

Have you being considering the options available to you for removing the conifers around your home? Or perhaps you’re just planning to raise some structures in an area where you have lots of conifer trees. Regardless of your reason for wanting to remove a conifer tree, you’ve come to the right place!

There are multiple options to remove a conifer tree based on the one that best suits your needs. Some individuals are okay with felling the tree and leaving the stumps behind, while others don’t just want both the tree and the stumps so they poison the tree and subject the stumps to a quick rotting process.

lThe Physical Method

This basically involves felling the trees with the help of powerful machines and other tools. Let’s take a look!

• Early preparation. Get your chainsaw ready alongside your pruning tools as well as other equipments that can prove to be useful.

• Determine the direction you want the tree to fall. You must ensure there’s no passerby risk or risk of damage to any property whatsoever.

• Cut down the trunk. Put your chainsaw to use. First cut doen the branches and twigs before felling the tree.

• Choose your cutting technique depending on the tree’s size, slope and chainsaw available.

• Check for possible infestation before removing the conifer tree.

• Remove the conifer stumps by grinding the stumps out (use a grinder) and setting fire to consume the stumps.

lThe Chemical Method

To carry out this process, you need to first cut down the large tree branches using a chainsaw. Once done, cut off a portion around the circumference of the trunk below the lower branches, close to the root. Leave the bark’s strips connected to the conifer tree to expose the inner tissue.

Mix the chemicals and apply into the conifer tree directly until the whole surface is covered. This will make the conifer tree to die off gradually for a couple of weeks.

Can tree surgeons carry out work on trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders?

In many instances tree surgery work can still be carried out on trees that are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). Tree surgeons will be able to file the needed forms with the local authority to arrange such work, and advise you throughout the entire process.
