My gardener has said they can manage our trees. Is that true?
While a gardener may have extensive knowledge about the various aspects of garden care, tree care should be treated separately. A tree surgeon, Arborist, will have expert knowledge about different tree species and their specific characteristics. They will have a wide knowledge on how to best care for them, from the right growing conditions through to treating disease. A tree surgeon will also have the expertise and equipment to carry out any work in the safest way possible.
Do I need permission to fell trees on my property?
If you are thinking about felling some trees on your property, be aware that the UK is regulated by a set of rules designed to preserve and manage our nation’s landscape.
Whether the trees are situated on individual or business property, it is your responsibility to check whether there is a Tree Protection Order (TPO) that covers the trees that you are intending to fell. If the trees are in conservation areas you will also need permission before any works are carried out to them. It is illegal to fell or carry out any maintenance work to a protected tree without first getting permission from your local authority.
