As experienced tree surgeons ourselves, we know what are the most popular questions that get asked and we are more than aware of what not to ask also. Finding a tree surgeon you can trust can be extremely difficult as well as time-consuming if you don’t know what you are looking for. Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd is here to offer some advice.

Check Qualifications and Credentials – What accreditations have you got?

Just like any other service or industry, tree surgeons have to have accredited and approved qualifications and accreditations before carrying out any insured work on your premises.

Here at Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd, we are both LANTRA and NPTC City & Guilds approved and qualified for your safety and quality of service. With all team members being highly skilled, experienced and trained, you can rely on our services to be safe and of exceptional quality no matter what you need from us.

Always Check the Price – Will I get a quote?

The prices of anything is always important. You would never go ahead with a haircut for yourself without knowing the true price you will pay at the end, so why do it with tree surgery?

Our team will always quote based on our best understanding of the situation and on larger cases, we will visit the site to give an accurate quote every time. We make sure that all of our clients, both domestic and commercial, can understand the quote they are given and are given a fair price for the services they are receiving.

Are you really a local business?

There is nothing worse than cowboy builders claiming to work in your local area but travelling from miles away to carry out your services. Without them being truly local you cant call on them when you need them, you cant access them in an emergency and you also can’t trace them should you need to follow up on a service.

The post 4 Questions You Should Ask Your Tree Surgeon appeared first on Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd.

As the British sun starts to beam down, occasionally, on your garden area, your trees and growths will start to come into leaf. This is the perfect time to give your trees a health check and include with this a clean-up of dead branches and broken leaves.

Dead Branches and Leaves

Over the winter your trees will have been battered by all weathers and in most cases, there will have been a lack of nutrition and damaged branches or branches prone to splintering. If this is the case, there is a severe danger for anyone in the area and even neighbouring properties due to the risk of collapsing and falling heavy branches.

Finding these branches and broken parts of the tree is so much easier when it starts coming up to spring and summer. The easiest way to identify these broken areas is by waiting until the rest of the tree starts to sprout new growth, and those damaged areas obviously won’t.

Our team are more than capable of spotting these dead areas of your tree and safely cutting them back to avoid fallen branches and poorly maintained trees. Get in touch for tree care, pruning, maintenances and protection that you can trust.

Top Signs to Look Out For

When it comes to inspecting trees on your property, there are some tell-tale signs to look out for in regards to damaged limbs and branches. Our team are able to come out and check any damage prone trees for you on site and provide you with quotes as to what services you may need to keep these as safe as possible.

Those trees that are more than likely going to be damaged in the run-up to summer include:

• Aged trees
• Trees with larger canopies
• Trees that have large foliage and a larger leaf
• Branches that are rubbing against each other on the same tree or neighbouring trees

Summer Tree Pruning

Summer tree pruning is really all about timing and when you choose to carry out the protection and maintenance work. It is so important to make sure that whatever work you carry out doesn’t hold any stress on the trees themselves.

As summer is a great time for a tree to be at peak health and not dormant, the replenished energy that the tree has will help it recover from coppicing and pruning. Our professional surgeons are able to work carefully with your trees in order to keep them healthy all year round and give each tree the chance to grow properly without further damaging it or the surrounding growth.

Benefits of Summer Pruning

There are so many benefits to pruning your trees in the summer, and the biggest is that it just overall looks better!

As well as having the best-looking trees on your street, you can sleep easy knowing your trees are free from danger, not a hazard to the public or other trees and that your trees are growing healthily all year round.

Pruning can also give way to new growth and reduce the stress on the surrounding trees in the fight for nutrition and light. All trees are living things and need the care they deserve all year round to grow properly without damaging their surroundings, so why not get in touch and start your journey today?

You may be asking; how can a tree surgeon help sell your property? Well, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are here to give you the answer!

When moving houses or selling a property it is as important to focus on the exterior of the building as it is the interior. Potential buyers will be getting their first impression from outside and if your property has poorly maintained landscapes, this could be enough to put off a potential sale.

Make The Right First Impressions

It is so important that you make a great first impression both at domestic properties and commercial. If you were to arrive at a building and the external image was poor, you are instantly going to doubt the interior and feel let down by the overall presentation of the property that you could be buying.

Be careful not to go overboard though because “Just as fussy, overly patterned interiors are a turn-off for buyers, so, too, are chaotic gardens”, This is Money.

Trained Tree Surgeons

All of the tree surgeons here in our team have trained eyes to spot numerous problem trees at your property, no matter what time of year it is. They can clearly spot:

• Dangerous trees
• Diseased trees
• Trees too close to other buildings
• Dangerous tree roots
• Neighbouring trees that can cause issues
• Blank spaces where trees could be planted safely

Maintenance Services

Our tree surgeons also offer regular maintenance contracts at your property, to ensure that once you have hold of your growth, that it never grows out of hand again.

With regular hedge maintenance, tree planting, growth control and pruning services, you never have to worry about diseased trees, dangerous growth or neighbouring trees being an issue.

Professional Advice

As well as offering our services at your new property or the property you are selling, we can provide you with the professional advice you may need when it comes to making landscaping decisions. Woodland management is one of our most popular services and includes options that are suitable for your land and soil integrity that are also affordable for your budget range.

With woodland design covered, tree planting, improvement techniques and advice on how to keep your growth healthy all year round, you would never need to go elsewhere to care of your greenery.

The first day of spring is less than one month away and caring for your trees really needs to be at the top of your priority list soon.

With the first day of spring falling on 20^th March this year, its about time you got your tree care plans in place before its too late. Being a tree owner, you will already have certain procedures in place to keep your trees in good health all year round but Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd have some perfect tips to make caring for your trees in spring easier than ever before.

Keep Tidy

There are so many ways in which a tree owner can care for their trees in spring, but the most important in our eyes is keeping them tidy and their growth areas clean. Although many trees are low maintenance, it doesn’t mean that you can just leave to their own care as certain trees will need specialist assistance throughout the seasons.

Give your trees the clean-up they deserve to start a new season in style with trimming, coppicing and pruning services from our team. After the long winter that could have really damaged your tree’s structure and appearance, general pruning will spruce up your tree ready for a fresh season.

Don’t Forget to Mulch

Mulch is an amazing substance that a lot of tree owners forget about when it comes to repairing and getting their gardens ready for spring with tree management. The first initial layer of mulch under your trees will retain necessary moisture, supress weeds and is crucial in caring for younger trees.

There is no set in stone amount of mulch you should have but a fair layer of wood chips or mulch around the base of your trees is sure to protect and nurture them over time. It is important however to avoid piling the mulch up against the root and trunk of the tree as this can in time encourage growth of disease and warmth for insects to live in.

Feed Your Trees

Your trees will need to be well-watered throughout the whole of spring so its important to start now and set a routine to keep on top of it. It is important to wait until the ground is fully thawed to avoid running water and to keep an eye on the weather forecast as we can still get a lot of wet weather in Spring.

Watering your trees is a huge priority in caring for them properly but be careful not to drown them or leave puddles of water at the base and the roots.

Inspect for Pests and Diseases

Checking your trees for pests, disease and faults is important in the months coming up to spring. Being professional tree arborists, our team know exactly what we are looking for and can advise on the next steps to take to make sure that your tree is in good health all year round.

Inspect your trunk, roots, branches and growth for any potential health hazards or urgent work that needs carrying out. Start to fight back against pests in the warmer months and use professional spray treatments and get in touch with our team for more advice and services.

Planting in Spring

Starting to plant in spring is the best time to get on top of your garden and start shaping it how you want it to grow during the warmer months. Here at Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in Manchester and Stockport we like to start planting new growth throughout the early stages of spring as the weather really gives the trees the best start in life.

Use spring time to clean out old trees that are no longer healthy and plant new trees ready for the summer months on the horizon.
