about…trees will inquire for you with the local council upon accepting the quote.
How much noise will you make and for how long?
Tree surgery is an inherently noisy trade, with chainsaws and wood-chippers operating in normally quiet residential areas. There will be some disruption but we will try to keep it to a minimum and for the shortest time possible.
Will you make the worksite safe?
Yes we will endeavour to keep the safety of the site our priority, if needs be we will tape off areas of the site and signs will be erected telling the public of the dangers. We can arrange for prior warning to be given to relevant parties, neighbours etc.
On a busy road – how will the traffic be organised? And is the council notified?
The relevant Highways regulations will be adhered to and if your council needs to know that traffic flow may be disrupted we will tell them and arrange appropriate traffic control.
How will a diseased tree affect the trees within the area?
It depends on what disease the effected tree has, some diseases spread by root to root contact, others through the air. Generally speaking healthy trees are well prepared to cope with attacks from diseases.
Do you have environmental policies?
about…trees strongly supports tree planting and encourages it on every contract. We have in-house tree planting schemes, we always use re-cycled paper and use e-communication as much as we can. Woodchips are re-cycled as are logs. We use Bio-oil in our chainsaws and try to use handsaws rather than chainsaws.
Can you replant a tree in the same place?
There may be a reason why the tree has been removed and the replanting in the same place may not be advisable. However we will happily replant a new tree in a suitable place in your garden,(at an extra cost).
Can I request to have wood for logging? How will you leave? Will you stack it?
We will happily leave you the wood for logging if asked to. We will endeavour to cut the logs into in large chunks for you to handle, they will be stacked near to where the tree was dismantled. If you would like to us to log and stack them this can also be arrange at an additional cost.
How do I pay?
You can pay by Debit/Credit card on site or securely over the telephone this may enable you to spread the cost on a 0% credit card or by cheque or cash upon completion of the contract. Whichever way suits you. Our preferred method, which is free and easy is an internet transfer via your online banking.
How will you leave my garden?
We will leave your garden as tidy as possible with little evidence of us being there. We will take the entire tree away and tidy by up by hand also remove most of the leaves by means of a blower. The lawn may have some brushed areas where we have drag large branches. Obviously, if the garden is very wet there may be areas of mud. We are registered Environment Agency waste carriers.
