General FAQ’s
-
A tree surgeon, also known as an arborist, is a professional who specialises in tree services, including the care and maintenance of trees. This includes tasks such as pruning, trimming, shaping, and removing trees to ensure their health, safety, and aesthetics. If you're looking for a reliable Shropshire tree service, we can help.
-
Tree work can be dangerous and requires specialised knowledge and equipment. A professional tree surgeon is trained to safely handle trees and has the expertise to assess their health and determine the best course of action for maintenance or removal. For professional tree services, hiring a trained tree surgeon is the safest option.
-
The frequency of tree pruning depends on factors such as the species of tree, its age, and its location. Generally, it's recommended to have trees pruned every 3-5 years to maintain their health and shape. Regular tree services from a trusted Shropshire tree service can help keep your trees in optimal condition.
-
In many areas, there are regulations governing the pruning or removal of trees, especially if they are protected species or located in certain areas such as a tree preservation order area or conservation zones. A reputable tree surgeon will be familiar with local regulations and can advise you on obtaining any necessary permits from the planning team at your local council.

Signs that a tree may need to be removed include dead or dying branches, extensive insect or disease infestation, significant leaning, visible root damage, or structural issues such as large cracks or splits in the trunk. Contact an emergency tree surgeon if you notice any of these issues.

The cost of tree surgery varies depending on factors such as the size and location of the tree, the type of work required, and local market rates. It's best to request a quote from a tree surgeon after they have assessed the specific needs of your trees. Our Shropshire tree service provides competitive and transparent pricing for all tree services.
