Frequently asked questions
Q: My tree has a protection order on it? Do I need permission before work is carried out?
A: Yes. If your tree has a protection order on it or if you live in a conservation area, an application needs to be made to the local authority seeking permission for the work. However, permission is not usually required for the removal of deadwood, snapped branches or dead trees.
Q: What insurance do you have?
A: We have public liability insurance to the value of £5million which is industry specific. This covers us for any damage caused to customer property or persons.
Q: We have a large tree in our garden that we want removing. How would you do this?
A: When large trees cannot be felled, we climb and dismantle them with the aid of a rope and harness. Specialist equipment (when required) is used to lower the branches to the ground to avoid any damage to the surrounding area.
Q: Will you take away all of my tree cuttings?
A: As part of your quote, we will include removing everything from the site leaving it clean and tidy. We only leave timber if you have asked us to do so.
