How Can Tree Surgeons Help You Sell Your Property?

How Can Tree Surgeons Help You Sell Your Property?

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.

Care for Your Fruit Trees Properly in Autumn

Care for Your Fruit Trees Properly in Autumn

Now that summer is well and truly over, it’s about time you looked at how to care for your trees in the up and coming autumn months.

If you are one of those lucky enough to have fruit trees in your garden area, then you will only be too familiar with the problem that arises when autumn arrives. After you have gathered all of your apples, pears or whatever fruit tree you have, you will then need to apply the proper care and treatment methods to keep your tree thriving all year round.

Are You Noticing Rotting?

If you have clear signs of rotting fruit or leaves, it’s time to call it a day for your summer of fruits. Once apples, pears and often plums start to show signs of brown rot, you need to remove them from the tree and dispose of them correctly.

If you were to let them fall to the ground below, they will decay on the soil and the disease will then lie on the ground, affecting future growth. One of the mistakes most fruit tree owners make is to just let rotten fruit fall for the birds, please don’t do this because you will regret it next summer!

Pests Are Writhe

Winter and autumn also see many pests coming out to find their home, especially snails and slugs. The problem with rotten fruit and fallen leaves is that slugs and snails will bed down in them for the winter and will once again affect next year’s growth and the health of the tree.

Top Tip – attach sticky grease bands to the base of your trees to stop winter months laying their eggs there.

Adding the preventative techniques will also “prevent the wingless female moths that emerge from pupae in the soil in November, from crawling up the tree to the branches”, Express. Any eggs that are laid on your trees will eventually hatch and will be looking for anything to feed on, including your spring blossoms. They can also eat the growth of any surrounding trees or plants like your roses and shrubs.

Planting New Fruit Trees

When it comes to planting trees, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd here in Manchester and Stockport are experts. We suggest the best time of the year to be planting your fruit trees is in the October to December time but make sure that you are well aware of how large the roots are so that when it comes to summer, you aren’t left with a tree you can’t control.

This is also the best time to prune your trees so that you can get a good and fair cycling of fruiting wood. By making sure they are well pruned by our experts you be sure to have a productive tree when summer comes around that is perfectly shaped for growth.

Top Tip – “Trees can suffer cold damage in winter and spring, which may affect fruit production” so keep an eye on this all year round (RHS).

The Importance of Pruning Your Trees

The Importance of Pruning Your Trees

When was the last time your tree was pruned professionally? Are you actually aware of the importance of pruning your trees?

Well, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are here to tell you just why you need your trees pruning today! Working in the industry for many years, our team are specialists when it comes to carefully pruning a whole range of trees, including yours in Manchester and Stockport.

The Purpose of Trees

Before we look at how to properly prune your trees, it will make sense to look at how a tree actually works. By appreciating the sheer growth of a tree and understanding how it works from inside out, it will make the pruning process much easier and also give you a better understanding as to how important pruning is.

Your trees are living organisms with a dynamic self-supporting body or stem. Following the photosynthesis process, all trees and living plants convert the carbon into sugars and then use this sugar to build cellulose and lignin to contain within its support. If the sugars created are not used immediately, they are then stored in the roots and branches for later use so nothing goes to waste – quite clever actually!

So, Why Prune?

There are so many reasons why you should prune your trees and it isn’t just to make it look better. The top reasons we encourage tree pruning professionally is to contain the structure of the tree, to remove diseased branches, to reduce shading below and to also remove branches that could be touching surrounding structures like your home or business premises.

When it comes to pruning though, it pays to remember that you can’t just take off branches all over the tree without leaving behind some kind of damage or destroying the integrity of the tree. The team here in Manchester take great care in removing branches and twigs specifically to avoid disease entering the tree via an open wound and to avoid reducing the life of the tree by taking away too much foliage.

Careful Planning Before Pruning

Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in Manchester and Stockport take great care in planning all tree pruning procedures and only ever remove branches for the health and benefit of the tree. We always ask ourselves three vital questions before removing any part of a tree which includes:

  1. Why are we removing this branch?
  2. What are the results of removing this branch?
  3. Will the tree be at high risk of catching a disease?

In most cases, the branches cannot be removed from ground level and it takes specialist equipment like we have here to safely remove each branch individually. We carry out full health and safety inspections before all services and remove any access near and around the tree from our clients and the general public.

We also take into account how well certain tree species react to pruning. In the case of a Walnut tree, they can sometimes take to pruning poorly so careful planning needs to go into the pruning process to avoid further damage.

The Pruning Process

No matter what size the tree is whether we are looking at a small garden shrub or a large oak, the process is the same from start to finish. Starting by protecting the stem, trunk and roots of the tree, we make sure that all cuts are taken from the stem at the base of the branch to avoid damage and unsightly finishes.

The best time to prune your trees, in our opinion and others, is at the start of Autumn and Winter. We follow this schedule of pruning because it will minimise sap loss from the trees and the winter time is also better for avoiding diseases. Being part of the environment we also like to wait until all the living organisms in the tree are well in hibernation before disrupting their homes for pruning. Some of the trees that need pruning in Winter include Apple trees, Mulberry trees, Poplar, Walnut, Holly and Spruce to name a few.

All dead branches can be removed throughout the whole year. We also wait until the leaves are hardened in the late Spring to avoid premature pruning.

When removing branches, our team will make various cuts in the branch in order to remove it safely. Starting with a shallow cut under the branch, then on the outside, on the top and so forth to avoid the branch tearing or splitting down the centre. By always taking the cut as close to the bark and trunk as possible without damaging the tree further, we take pruning very seriously for our clients.

Trees that need pruning in the summer and spring include Beech, Cherry, Magnolia, Sycamore, Oaks and Willows.

To find out about tree pruning in your area, just give us a call on 0161 456 0989 or 01625 850 320. Please take into account the Tree Preservation Orders that could be protecting your trees before enquiring about tree pruning in your area.

Don’t Let Your Trees Block the British Sun This Summer

Seedling in soil

With years of expertise and the chance to either trim, cut or completely remove trees in your garden, you no longer have to sit in the shade and you can enjoy the British sun if we ever get any that is!

Tree Care That Counts

Using the latest equipment and highly skilled tree surgeons on every service, there is nothing that our team can’t do to make sure that when you roll out the sun bed, you can bask in the summer heat with ease.

Get your trees looking the way you want them with quick and simple tree surgery skills from Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in Manchester and Stockport.

Complete Tree Removal

As well as tree care, we can completely remove trees that are in the way of the light and those that are dangerously growing. In a matter of time a tree that was one a tiny inconvenience can completely take over your garden area and be harder to deal with, so act quickly and remove those trees that are no longer part of your landscape.

Tree felling with our team is often carried out when trees are diseased, overgrown and no longer wanted in the location. Throughout the whole of Manchester and Stockport, we are asked to remove trees from the root upwards and take the stump with us and it is something our team are highly skilled in doing.

We can also carry out sectional dismantling services that can remove certain sections of your tree, particularly the ones blocking the sunrise and sunset. With The Guardian recently reporting on ‘How private is your back garden?’, it is clear that privacy is such a massive topic with the British and sometimes needing more trees is the answer.

Do You Need More Privacy to Sunbathe?

As well as those homeowners with unruly trees, we are regularly asked to plant new trees to give people more privacy while they sunbathe at home too. With a little TLC and attention to specific species, we can plant the best trees for your location and give you the extra privacy you need without letting them overgrow.

Tree maintenance and hedge maintenance is our speciality and we can return as many times a year you would want to keep on top of their growth, especially in the summer. With most trees growing their most throughout the warmer months, it is so important to keep on top of coppicing and trimming to keep your tree healthy and suitable within their allocated space.

UK Holidays Vs. Abroad Holidays

It is common knowledge that with the rising price of abroad holidays and lowered wages, more and more people are staying at home in the UK and are enjoying the summer holidays here rather than in hotter countries. With that, comes an increased need for privacy in our own back gardens with Blackpool, Brighton and Bournemouth being at the top of the list for UK summer hot spots.

How to Care for Your Trees During the Summer

Tree Felling

Now that British summer is well and truly here, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are on hand to give you some quick tips on how to care for your trees properly.

Making sure your trees and hedges are cared for properly during the summer months fall down to maintenance contracts from our team. However, if you are feeling green fingered yourself and want to help out then below are some vital tips to follow whether it’s trimming, inspecting for pests, watering or just general care of your trees.

Pruning Techniques

Taking care of your trees includes pruning on a regular basis. With the hot weather bringing a lot more growth in trees and hedges of all species, it pays to pay attention to the sprouting twigs, branches and leaf growth before they take over your property.

Although we suggest that the majority of tree pruning and trimming should take place in dormant seasons of winter and autumn, you will have to keep on top of the growth during summer and spring. Keep an eye out as well for dead branches, diseased areas and any concerns you may have about your tree for not only the health and safety of your tree but for those surrounding also. We also suggest that any tree you may have that will flower in the summer, is pruned just before in the springtime, so act fast!

Call us today for professional pruning that takes care of your tree without damaging its aesthetics.

Pest Inspections

As well as extra growth, trees in the summer are prone to pest infestations. Although most insects are not overly harmful to trees and hedges, they can be a nuisance to surrounding greenery and also you and your family. Certain pests that do come out when the sun shines include bagworms, beetles, spiders and ants which can all be identified by our team of expert arborists.

Regular tree maintenance can be taken care of by our team so that you can get the tree management services your trees need to stay healthy for longer.

Irrigation Issues

We all know how much water we need when it’s hot and our trees are no different. Whether they are aged trees or newly planted, they still need the care and attention anything would need when the heat exceeds normal temperatures.

“A general rule of thumb is to apply 10 gallons of water for every inch of trunk diameter when you water”, MRT.

Fertilisation

Another way that our team take care of trees throughout the summer is by making sure they have enough support in nutrition for leaf growth, shoots, branches and to fight off pests themselves. Without the nutrition they need to survive they can be more prone to diseases and spread throughout other greenery in the area.

If your tree is growing in a high-stress area, i.e. one without much water or growth indication, you could struggle to keep its health high and the appearance suitable.

Top 3 Reasons to Hire a Tree Surgeon in Manchester

Tree Pruning

Are you considering hiring a tree surgeon for your home or commercial property but you’re not sure why or what to look for?

You’re not alone! Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are inundated with calls from unsure clients that need a little reassurance with their trees and hedges. As experts in our field and the obvious choice for the Manchester and Stockport area, we will let you in on the top three reasons why you need a tree surgeon and why you need to call us!

Safety Is Key

When dealing with trees of a great height, hedges of a protected species and any heavy duty garden machinery, safety is key. As our main concern when dealing with all projects, regardless of size, we take safety very seriously and work in various high-risk environments every day. Being fully trained to NPTC and Lantra standards for your safety and ours, you get complete peace of mind using our services and excellent results every time.

Being highly trained in our field and knowing which safety procedures to follow at all times, we are the most viable solution when dealing with trees or hedges of any size. Removing any growth on your own can be a hazard within itself, to not only you but also surrounding properties and the passing public. So why risk it?

Quality Over Quantity

Anyone can get hold of a bulldozer and knock down a whole forest within seconds but is that really what you are looking for at your commercial property or your home address?

With years of experience and the ability to safely and accurately attend to certain trees and hedges, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are able to provide quality services rather than quality at half the expectation. Hiring professionals gives you the guarantee that you will get a quality tree surgery service every time which is exactly what you are looking for when you are looking for tree surgeons.

Amateur pruners are easily spotted. If you hire an amateur tree feller or surgeon, you will expect to have an eyesore at your property that is not only visually unpleasant but also dangerous.

We’re Not Just Tree Surgeons

One of the biggest perks when hiring our team as your tree surgeon is that we are so much more than just tree surgeons. With the ability to do so much more than just remove dead trees and hedges, you can count on us for a wide range of arboricultural services including:

We value that all trees are a vital part of our environment and that they hold different purposes for both domestic and commercial land owners. It is imperative that you take care of your trees and with our assistance, you don’t have to lift a finger to keep your property and your trees safe.

We are far from your average gardeners, so give us a call today to get the services you need at the times that suit you best.
