1. Tree Surgeon Advice and Guidance
Before they start felling, pruning or planting trees, your tree surgeon will investigate the site and will be able to provide you with important guidance. Does the tree need felling or are there other options? Are any of the trees in your garden presenting a danger to your family or your belongings and why?
If you are planning a new garden area, tree surgeons can offer advice on which trees to plant in which areas. Some trees grow more quickly than others, look better and last longer. Others are more susceptible to disease and fungi meaning that their upkeep could be more hassle and require more resource. Your tree surgeon is an expert in all things ‘arborist’ and will advise you accordingly.
2. Tree Surgeon Specialist Machinery and Equipment
Your tree surgeon will arrive at your job with all the specialist machinery required. This could include the following and more:
Specialist Saws and Bars
Tree surgeons will choose the correct saw or bar for your job depending on the size of the tree or branch they need to cut and the level of precision and control needed.
Stump Grinder
These specialist machines completely remove your tree stumps by grinding the wood using a sharp rotating disc.
Woodchippers
These machines help to keep our process eco-friendly and mean that the wood can be reused as wood chippings, debris too large for the chipper can be turned into logs.
Personal Protective Equipment
Harnesses, helmets, ropes, weights, goggles and more are all needed to carry out your task effectively and safely.
3. Tree Surgeon Safety
Safety – this is the big one and probably the principal reason to hire a tree surgeon over carrying out the task yourself. Tree surgeons are experts on tree safety and don’t ever take any unnecessary risks… safety is paramount for everyone involved.
Tree Surgeons spend time getting appropriate qualifications for good reason – it means that they know what they are doing and can plan your job meticulously with the correct precautions. Before they start the job, a risk assessment is completed to ensure that safety is always at the forefront of the team’s mind. All professional tree surgeons are heavily insured and should anything go wrong they can fall back on their product and pollution liability.
4. Less Effort
Do you really want to be climbing up trees on a harness without first training in how to do this correctly?
As well as taking on the manual physical tasks within your job such as climbing, carrying ladders and equipment and arranging which task to complete when, your tree surgeon will also clear your waste. Many tree surgeons will recycle this waste into green energy, without you lifting a finger!
