Galashiels

Galashiels is a Scottish burgh in Selkirkshire on the Gala Water river. It represents a key commercial hub for the Borders region. Although it has an oceanic climate, its raised position and distance from the sea means that it has chillier winters and slightly warmer summers than many coastal areas, and snow in winter months is more frequent. In accordance with the 2011 census, the town has a permanent population of around 14994. In 2015, the Scottish Borders Council declared Galashiels as the capital of the Scottish Borders. Its population increased dramatically as a result of the cloth trade with multiple mills. A connection with the town's mill background, the Mill Lade, continues to link the town from near the site of mills at Wheatlands Road, to Netherdale, through Wilderhaugh, Bank Street, the Fountain and alongside the retail development street. The town is especially well known for cloth making, and it is also the location of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, Galashiels Academy and one campus of the Borders College, which as of 2009 has moved and now joins with the University. A noteworthy landmark in Galashiels is the Glasite church, which remains in possible danger of being lost, but it remains to be standing in between the mills and shop buildings on High Street, Botany Lane and Roxburgh Street. It is the home of Gala RFC and Gala Fairydean Rovers, with the football and rugby stadiums connected to each other at one end. The football club's main stand was constructed in 1963 to designs by Peter Womersley, based in adjacent Gattonside, with the cantilevered concrete structure, in the Brutalist style, being preserved as a Category A listed structure. For all of your home upgrades, make sure to make use of respected specialists in Galashiels to make certain of quality.

FAQs

how much does it cost to remove a large tree?

Do you have a large tree on your property and wondering how much it would cost to have it totally removed? If yes, then you’ve come to the right place. Generally, the average cost of a tree removal can widely range due to a number of reasons which includes the size, heigh, diameter, location in the garden as well as the type of the tree. And as you would have expected, the larger your tree is the more you’re definitely going to pay to have it completely removed. While being large, another important factor that influences the price is the ease of access. This means that the more difficult it is to get to the tree the more strenuous and longer it’ll take to be felled, hence the more the price that’s likely to be charged when compared to a similar-sized tree which is more accessible.

Generally for a day’s work, a tree surgeon will charge within the range of £150 to £200, and will usually work with one or two general labourer. As a result, you can expect to pay about £300 to £500 in a day as cost of labour if there happens to be up to three labourers.

In short, to cut down a large tree of about 50 feet to 75 feet, this will usually take about one to two days and cost within the range of £650 to £1,200. Meanwhile an extra large tree which is beyond 75 feet will take about 2 to 5 days to cut down and cost within the range of £1,000 to £2,500. However, you should have it in mind that the price that will be charged will be based on a number of factors like the overhang, tree type, access, disposal, closeness to public footpath or road and more.

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 much to remove a tree?

Do you have a tree you want to remove in your yard or property? Then you’d most likely be curious to know how much it would cost to have it removed. However, when it comes to tree removal services, there’s no precise answer to how much a professional tree surgeon will charge as each tree is unique and so the price would be charged based on the unique features of the tree in question.

There are a lot of factors that determines the price a professional tree surgeon will charge to remove a tree but it generally starts at £80 to £100 including VAT and this price increases with the size as well as the job’s complexity. Here are some influencing factors:

• The Tree’s Height. A taller tree will generally be more difficult to remove than a shorter one. A good equipment and extra care will also be needed to complete the task. As a result, you’d expect a taller tree to be more expensive.

• Tree Overhang. Due to trees overhanging some buildings, extra care most be taken to ensure the protection of nearby buildings and properties.

• Tree Accessibility. When the tree is easily accessible, no much work is required. If not, there’ll be a need to carry out some extra work to ensure easy access without any damages.

• Public Consideration. In the event whereby the tree is near a path or road, there’ll be a need to obtain a permission to close off some sections of the path or road.

• Tree Disposal. If you need the trees disposed from the site, then the service will also be include in the total price.

Generally on the average, local tree surgeons will charge about £500 to £650 for a day’s work. But this can also be higher or lower depending on your location.

do i need council approval to remove a tree?

Although we advocate non-removal of trees, but we also know for a fact that this isn’t always possible especially when it involves safety challenges or damage to property. If you’re looking to remove a tree on your property, then you should probably confirm whether or not you’d require a council approval.

In the UK, if the tree you want removed has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) placed on it, then before you’ll be able to perform any sort of work to the tree ( be it cutting a branch or felling/ removing the tree), you must obtain a permission from the council.

The Tree Preservation Order is created by local planning authorities such as a district, borough or national park with the aim of providing adequate protection to trees which provide amenity values to the public. Any act to the TPO protected tree such as cutting down, topping, lopping, uprooting or wilful damage considered a criminal offence. In other words, if the tree on your property is visible and is enjoyed by the public then there’s a possibility that there’s a TPO placed on it. To confirm whether or not this is the case, you can reach out to your local council’s tree officer for more information.

You will need to fill out an application form and submit to your local authority in order to request permission of remove a tree. In the event whereby you happen to reside in a Conservation Area, the same rules applies as TPO-placed trees but you don’t necessarily need to have TPO placed on them.

If the tree is in your garden without a TPO placed on it and you do not live in a Conservation Area, then you would not need to apply for permission to have it removed.
