Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tree surgeon do?
A tree surgeon or arborist is a highly-trained professional who performs a variety of tasks related to the care and maintenance of trees. Tree surgeons are most visible in the aftermath of extreme weather events when they can be seen cutting back or removing damaged trees on roadways. The job of the tree surgeon involves tree pruning, tree planting, tree relocating and tree removal as well as treating tree diseases and infestations. They also consult in cases where trees and developers come into conflict or when someone desires to work on a tree protected by a Tree Protection Order (TPO), or a tree located in a conservation area.
Can I remove one of my trees myself?
You may, repeat may, have the right to remove one of the trees on your property yourself, but it is not advisable unless you have experience felling trees. A mature tree can weigh 3 or 4 tonnes which can do considerable damage to your home, not to mention people, should you lose control of the removal process. But there is also the possibility you may not have the right to remove one of your trees without permission. If there is a Tree Protection Order active for the tree or the tree is in a Conservation area you will need to obtain permission from your local authority before removing it.
What happens to the branches you remove or the trees you cut down?
All waste from a jobsite is disposed of in full compliance with the government’s safe disposal regulations. But not all the byproducts of work are disposed of. Branches, trunks and stumps may be cut into logs for firewood or put through our chipper and transformed into chips that can be used as a landscaping element. If you would like to keep any logs or chips just let us know beforehand and we will be happy to turn them over to you.
Why do trees need pruning?
There are a variety of reasons why trees need to be pruned. For one, pruning may enhance the structure and strength of the tree. Pruning can also remove any dangerous or dead branches. Pruning is also done to make sure branches do not come in contact with power lines and to reduce the amount of shade a tree casts on a property. And pruning is often called for to make sure there is a safe distance between a tree and a house or business.
How much does tree surgery cost?
The cost depends on a number of factors including how many trees are involved, the size of the trees, whether they are easy or difficult to access, the type of work that needs to be done and how many tree surgeons are required to perform the work properly. We will be happy to provide you with a no-obligation quotation. Simply get in touch with Epic Tree Care and let us know what type of work you need to be done on your tree or trees.
