Frequently Asked Questions
Why do people hire tree surgeons?
People hire a tree surgeon because they want the job of pruning, relocating, planting or removing a tree or stump done right. They are also aware that trees in the UK enjoy robust legal protection and by hiring a tree surgeon they can be sure all work will be done in accordance with tree protection laws and regulations. They also hire a tree surgeon because a legit tree surgeon carries a generous amount of insurance to protect himself and the client in the unlikely case of an accident.
Do I need permission to work on my trees?
While there may be instances when you do not need permission to work on one of your trees it’s always safe to assume you do need it. That’s because the UK has some of the world’s most rigorous and wide-ranging tree protection laws. Should you go ahead with pruning or removing a tree without permission and discover later it was required you could open yourself up to a significant fine. The wise thing to do is to call the pros at Epic Tree Care and let us handle any work on your trees. That way you’ll be sure the work is done right and in compliance with the law.
Can anyone become a tree surgeon?
In theory anyone who wants to pursue a career as a tree surgeon is free to do so. However, some people are definitely better candidates than others. First and foremost a tree surgeon must love the outdoors and the idea of working outdoors, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. Secondly, tree surgery is a physically demanding job requiring the tree surgeon to spend long hours climbing trees and working with heavy equipment like chainsaws while suspended high above the ground. So a high degree of physical fitness is definitely a plus. And as you may have surmised, those with a fear of heights will not make good tree surgeons.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before I prune or remove a tree?
You are under no legal obligation to tell your neighbours that you are about to have a tree pruned or otherwise worked on. But for the sake of maintaining good relations, it would not hurt to let them know in advance. If the tree surgeon will need to access the work area through your neighbour’s property then you are legally compelled to inform your neighbour and to receive their consent before work can commence.
Can I keep the waste produced by the work done on my trees?
In most cases, we transform cut branches into logs for firewood and other waste into wood chips that can be used as a landscaping element. Any waste that cannot be repurposed is disposed of in accordance with government safe disposal regulations. That said, if you want to keep any logs or wood chips that result from work on your trees simply let us know ahead of time and we’ll be happy to turn them over to you.
