Tree surgery and arboricultural work
Describe the trees, your concern and what you want to achieve, such as clearance, investigation of decline or removal of a damaged specimen. Provide photographs only from a safe position and identify buildings, roads, utilities or neighbouring land that could affect access or responsibility.
Service scope
Assessment and practical management of trees, including specified pruning, removal, planting and follow-up care. The appointment must distinguish inspection and advice from physical work, with the tree's condition, surroundings and access informing a competent contractor's work plan.
What is normally included
- Defined tree assessment and advice
- Agreed pruning or removal operations
- Planting and maintenance commissions
What is not included
- Guaranteed tree safety based on photographs
- Customer-directed hazardous cutting methods
Typical tasks
- Identify the trees in the commission
- Review the reason for intervention
- Assess site access and surrounding constraints
- Specify the agreed tree work
- Record completion and follow-up recommendations
What to include in your brief
- Tree locations and approximate dimensions
- Concern or desired outcome
- Safe photographs and previous reports
- Nearby structures and access restrictions
- Ownership and known protection information
Choosing the right professional
Look for competence relevant to the actual operation, not simply equipment ownership. Ask how the contractor will assess the trees, protect people and property, manage arisings and establish whether permissions or specialist investigations are needed before work starts.
Important considerations
- Tree condition cannot be reliably established from size alone
- Unplanned work near buildings or utilities can endanger others
