What Does a Tree Surgeon Do?

How We Can Help You!

Tree surgeons are experts when it comes to the care and maintenance of trees – but what jobs can they carry out? Here at Elite Trees, we pride ourselves on providing expert tree care services, from felling trees to the tree survey Ipswich property owners recommend. Here is what you can expect from our team when you work with us.

Pruning

One of the most common tasks our tree surgeons carry out is pruning. This not only helps to improve the appearance of your tree right now but can make it fuller and healthier in the long run. As well as general ‘tidy up’ pruning and deadwooding, we also specialise in the following services:

  • Crown thinning
  • Crown lifting
  • Crown reduction

Pruning not only enhances a tree’s appearance, but it can also reduce the risk of branches breaking and causing damage.

Tree Removal and Felling

When a tree becomes a safety hazard, is diseased, or has simply become too big for its location, it may need to be removed. Tree felling is a complex process that requires precision and lots of planning. Our expert surgeons will take into account factors such as the tree’s size, location, and condition to decide on the safest method of removal. This will either be a straight felling or a sectional dismantling – which is where we cut the tree down in sections.

Stump Grinding and Removal

Once a tree is felled, the stump remains. Many people leave them, but they can be unsightly and pose a tripping hazard. We have the machinery needed to grind the stump down in no time at all, giving you total freedom to do what you want with your outdoor space.

Tree Surveys

Our tree surgeons are also experts in diagnosing and treating tree diseases and pests. Working from ground level and above, we will be able to spot issues in their early stages, along with structural problems. Taking a proactive approach when it comes to the well-being of your trees means that any action that is needed can be much more effective.

Why Hire a Professional Tree Surgeon?

It’s easy to assume that you can take care of your trees without any help, but it is often a much better idea to call in the experts. Here’s why!

Safety First

Tree surgery is inherently risky and requires working at heights and operating powerful tools and machinery. Our tree surgeons are fully trained in all relevant health and safety practices, minimising the risk of injury or damage to your property.

Expert Knowledge

Our tree surgeons possess in-depth knowledge of multiple tree species, and this allows them to make expert decisions about care and maintenance. This is a great thing for the long-term health and stability of your trees.

Compliance with Regulations

Tree work often involves coming across Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and other restrictions. Our team has a deep understanding of these regulations, and we will ensure that all of our work complies with the law.
