Our tree surgery and maintenance services:
Crown reduction
Crown reduction is a highly specialised and skill-dependent practice. It is used when there is a need to reduce limb weight, establish balanced weight distribution, clear obstructions in the surrounding environment, or address issues like root system decay in mature trees.
In many cases, crown reduction is essential to eliminate interference with overhead telephone and power lines, ensuring safety and uninterrupted service.
This demands a meticulous approach and the ability to make precise cuts but also requires a comprehensive understanding of a tree’s structural requirements to maintain its health.
Pruning and thinning
Thinning involves making selective cuts to remove accumulated deadwood, effectively redistributing the weight and reducing the stress on the tree.
The tree will then often be pruned not just for health purposes but also to enhance its aesthetic.
Limb bracing
To stabilise trees without compromising their visual appeal through heavy pruning, we offer limb bracing solutions using either cables or rods.
We install rods into weak fork unions or attach cables to areas higher in the crown to provide the necessary support and stability to weak limbs.
Sometimes we may have to recommend the partial or complete removal of a branch, for instance if health and safety is a concern.

Commercial tree surgery service FAQ
What is tree surgery?
Tree surgery involves the care, management, and preservation of trees, shrubs, and other perennial plants. Qualified specialists, known as tree surgeons or arborists, use their expertise to assess the health of trees and perform various treatments, such as pruning, to maintain their healthy growth and structural integrity.
Sometimes, the only option is to remove (or fell) the tree, in which case our tree surgeons will choose the best method of felling in relation to the immediate surroundings, and remove and dispose of the stump using professional methods and equipment.
How much does tree surgery cost?
The cost of tree surgery varies widely depending on the type of service required, the size and health of the tree, accessibility, and the complexity of the task. Prices can range from modest fees for simple pruning to higher costs for more complex operations like tree removal or emergency services.
Contact us for a free and detailed quote tailored to your specific tree care needs, ensuring professional service at competitive prices.
What time of year is best for tree surgery?
The best time for tree surgery often depends on the species of the tree and the type of work needed. Generally, late winter to early spring, when trees are dormant and before new growth begins, is ideal for most pruning tasks. However, emergency work and specific treatments may be necessary at any time of the year.
What should I look for when hiring a tree surgeon?
Look for qualifications such as certification from recognised arboricultural associations, evidence of insurance, and a good reputation. Experience, safety standards, and a clear understanding of your requirements are also crucial. A reputable tree surgeon should offer a detailed quotation and be able to explain the proposed work clearly. We meet all these criteria, offering certified and insured tree surgeons for your peace of mind.
What do tree surgeons do with the waste generated?
Waste from tree surgery, such as branches, leaves, and wood, is typically chipped into mulch, recycled, or responsibly disposed of.
Do tree surgeons cut hedges?
Yes, many tree surgeons also offer hedge trimming and maintenance services, applying their knowledge of plant care to ensure hedges are healthy, well-shaped, and aesthetically pleasing.
At Tree & Lawn Company we go one step further and also offer expertise in topiary.
Do tree surgeons keep the wood?
Policies on keeping wood vary. Some tree surgeons may offer to leave the wood with the property owner, while others might remove it as part of their service. Occasionally, the wood may be used by the tree surgeons for other purposes, but this should be agreed upon in advance.
Why is tree surgery important?
Tree surgery is vital for maintaining the health, safety, and aesthetics of trees. It helps prevent the spread of diseases, addresses structural issues, and ensures trees do not pose a risk to people or property. Proper care also supports the ecological balance, providing habitats for wildlife. For maintaining the safety, health, and aesthetics of your trees, we offer a range of expert tree surgery services.
Can tree surgery improve the health of all trees?
While tree surgery can significantly improve the health and lifespan of many trees, its effectiveness depends on the tree's condition, age, and species. Early intervention is key to preventing diseases and addressing issues before they become severe and irreversible.
How does tree surgery prevent disease in trees?
Tree surgery helps prevent disease by removing infected or vulnerable parts of a tree, improving air circulation, and reducing stress on the tree through proper pruning and care. This proactive approach can halt the spread of disease and enhance overall tree health. Our proactive approach to tree care can help prevent disease, enhancing the health and longevity of your trees.
Is tree surgery necessary for young trees, or just mature ones?
Tree surgery benefits trees of all ages. Young trees may need formative pruning to develop a strong structure, while mature trees might require maintenance to remove deadwood or manage disease. Regular inspections can determine the specific needs of trees at different life stages. Whether your trees are young or mature, we provide the necessary care to ensure their healthy development and maintenance.
