What Does a Tree Surgeon Do?

A professional tree surgeon carries out much more than simply cutting down trees.

Tree surgery involves assessing trees, identifying potential problems and carrying out appropriate work to improve their safety, condition or appearance.

Depending on the tree and the surrounding property, this can involve specialist climbing techniques, controlled lowering of branches, sectional dismantling and the use of professional machinery.

Our tree surgery services include:

• Tree pruning and maintenance
• Tree removal and dismantling
• Dead and dangerous tree removal
• Stump grinding and removal
• Hedge cutting and maintenance
• Site and vegetation clearance
• Tree planting
• Tree reports and professional advice
• Commercial tree services
• Emergency tree work

Whether you have a single problematic tree in your garden or require ongoing tree work across a commercial site, we’ll assess the job and recommend an appropriate solution.

How Do I Find a Good Tree Surgeon Near Me?

Choosing the right tree surgeon is important. Tree work can involve working at height, chainsaws, heavy branches and large machinery, often within close proximity to buildings, vehicles and neighbouring properties.

Before appointing a tree surgeon, there are several things worth checking.

Qualifications and Experience

Ask whether the people carrying out the work have appropriate training and experience.

The Highfield Tree Care team includes NPTC-trained arborists and has more than 14 years’ experience within the industry.

Experience is particularly important when dealing with large, damaged or difficult-to-access trees where careful planning is required.

Insurance

Always check that the contractor is properly insured before allowing tree work to begin on your property.

Highfield Tree Care is fully insured, giving customers additional reassurance when professional tree work is being undertaken.

Professional Working Practices

A reputable tree surgeon should be able to explain what work is required and why.

Tree work carried out by Highfield Tree Care is undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work – Recommendations, where applicable.

Our aim isn’t simply to remove as much of a tree as possible. Where trees can be safely retained, appropriate pruning and management can often be considered before removal.

The Right Equipment

Different jobs require different equipment.

Tree surgery can involve climbing and rigging equipment, chainsaws, stump grinders and other specialist machinery. Having access to the appropriate equipment allows work to be completed efficiently while reducing unnecessary risk to the surrounding property.

A Clear Quote

Before agreeing to tree work, make sure you understand what is included.

Highfield Tree Care provides free, no-obligation quotes and site visits, allowing us to assess the work before providing our recommendations.

Tree Removal Near Me

Sometimes removing a tree is the safest or most practical option.

A tree may need removing because it is dead, diseased, structurally compromised, storm damaged, causing problems for a property or simply unsuitable for its location.

Depending on the available space, a tree may be felled from ground level or carefully dismantled in sections.

Where buildings, fences, roads, sheds or other obstacles are nearby, sectional dismantling allows branches and sections of the tree to be removed in a much more controlled manner.

If you’re concerned about a tree on your property, contact us rather than attempting to remove it yourself.

Tree Removal Service

Tree Pruning Near Me

Not every problematic tree needs to be removed.

Professional pruning can help manage a tree’s size, remove dead or damaged branches, improve clearance and maintain an appropriate structure.

Depending on the tree, this can include:

• Crown reduction
• Crown thinning
• Crown lifting
• Deadwood removal
• Removing damaged branches
• General maintenance pruning

Before starting, we’ll assess the tree and discuss the most appropriate approach for what you’re trying to achieve.

Tree Pruning & Dismantling Service

Stump Grinding Near Me

Removing a tree often leaves the stump and root plate behind.

Tree stumps can become an inconvenience when landscaping, laying a lawn, installing fencing, constructing a driveway or simply trying to make better use of your garden.

Our stump grinding service uses specialist machinery to grind the unwanted stump down below ground level, providing an efficient alternative to attempting to excavate the entire stump manually.

We provide stump grinding for both domestic and commercial properties.

Dead or Dangerous Trees

A damaged or unstable tree can present a serious risk to people and property.

Signs that a tree may need professional attention can include:

• Large dead branches
• Recently fallen branches
• Significant cracks or splits
• Storm damage
• Sudden or unusual leaning
• Root damage or movement
• Significant decay
• A tree that has died or is declining

These signs don’t automatically mean that a tree needs removing, but they are good reasons to have it assessed.

If a tree has fallen or presents an immediate hazard, Highfield Tree Care also provides 24/7 emergency tree services.

Domestic Tree Surgeons

From individual trees to complete garden clearance, we provide tree services for homeowners and residential properties.

We understand that tree work frequently takes place in confined gardens and close to houses, conservatories, sheds, fences and neighbouring properties.

Our team will assess access and the surrounding area before deciding how best to undertake the work.

Once the job is complete, we’ll remove the resulting tree debris and leave the working area tidy.

Commercial Tree Surgeons

Highfield Tree Care also undertakes commercial tree work, from individual tree maintenance to larger clearance and tree removal projects.

Our equipment and experience allow us to undertake a wide variety of commercial tree work while planning around the requirements of the site.

If you have a commercial project, contact us to discuss the site, required work and timescales.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a tree surgeon cost?

The cost of tree surgery varies considerably depending on the work required, size and condition of the tree, access to the site, equipment required and how complex the work is.

The best way to establish the cost is to arrange a site visit. Highfield Tree Care provides free, no-obligation quotes.

Do you provide free tree surgery quotes?

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes and can arrange a site visit to assess the work required.

Are your tree surgeons qualified and insured?

Yes. Highfield Tree Care is fully qualified and insured, and our team includes NPTC-trained arborists with extensive industry experience.

Do you remove tree stumps?

Yes. We provide professional stump grinding to remove unwanted tree stumps from domestic and commercial properties.

Can you remove a large tree in a small garden?

In many situations, yes. Where there isn’t enough space to fell a tree conventionally, it may be possible to dismantle it progressively in sections.

The safest method depends on the tree, access and surrounding structures, so we will assess this before work begins.

Can you help with a dangerous or fallen tree?

Yes. We undertake dead and dangerous tree work and provide a 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations.

Should I remove a tree or have it pruned?

It depends on the condition of the tree, why it is causing a problem and what you want to achieve. Removal isn’t always necessary.

We can assess the tree and advise whether pruning, ongoing management or removal is the most appropriate option.

What areas do you cover?

We undertake tree surgery throughout the North West, including Preston, Blackpool, Lancaster, Manchester and surrounding areas. We can also travel further across the UK for appropriate larger or specialist projects.
