Tree Surgeons Swynnerton

When it comes to shrubs, fruit trees, smaller trees and hedges, a gardening fanatic will be quite capable of keeping them trimmed and in check, and will probably get a bit of pleasure from doing so. When branches can be accessed from the ground, clipping and pruning is a pretty trouble-free process, and if you are self-confident, have the suitable tools and know what you are doing, they can definitely be tackled. If however you have large trees which need to be climbed or accessed by ladders, skilled help must be sought, and you should not attempt it yourself.

There are various dangers concerning working at height, and apart from you falling and injuring yourself, you may also drop branches or tools that harm those walking or standing beneath. Hazardous tools are necessary for this sort of project, and just visualising an amateur gardener balancing perilously up a tree wielding a powered-up chainsaw should send shivers along the spine of the most reckless homeowner in Swynnerton.

Your initial thought might be that a gardener would be the best person to contact for your tree care requirements. But in most cases, gardeners aren't suitably qualified to deal with tree felling or larger tree related work. The individual who'll have the correct qualifications, tools and equipment for any type of tree care work, is a tree surgeon. In accordance with the trees you have on your property in Swynnerton, and the magnitude of the work involved, certain special equipment might be necessary including harnesses, wood chipping machines and chainsaws.

A genuine Swynnerton tree surgeon will be properly qualified in arboriculture, will be experienced in using such equipment and tools and will hold specific accreditations. Even though a lot of people in Swynnerton may profess to be tree surgeons, ensure that you hire one who's got these accreditations:

• CS30 (NPTC 201/202) - Chainsaw maintenance and cross-cutting.
• CS39 (NPTC 308) - Aerial cutting of trees using free-fall techniques.
• CS38 (NPTC 206/306) - Climb a tree and perform aerial rescue.
• CS31 (NPTC 203) - Fell & process small trees up to 380mm diameter.

Tree surgeons should also have the Forestry First Aid Level 3 FAW+F qualification. All work should also be performed to British Standards BS3998 (2010).

When you're in search of a tree surgeon in Swynnerton these are the principal qualifications that you should be asking for. You should look elsewhere if the person you're considering doesn't have any of these certifications. More competent tree surgeons in Swynnerton might also hold a City and Guilds or other qualifications in forest management, forestry, arboriculture, countryside management or woodland ecology & conservation.

A variety of tree related tasks such as transplanting, tree felling, tree removal, tree surgery, tree planting, disease identification, pest control, the protection of trees from grazing and stump grinding, can be performed by a fully trained tree surgeon in Swynnerton.

Some of the more commonplace tree related activities such as crown thinning, crown cleaning, crown raising, pruning, root pruning, crown shaping, tree removal or damage restoration, are the ones that will be required by the average home owner in Swynnerton.

It's vital that all Swynnerton tree surgeons are familiar with, and proficient in using rigging ropes, lowering devices, winches, loppers, rigging plates, slackline kits, stump grinding machines, climbing ropes, chain saws, harnesses, wood chippers, pole saws, and the whole range of tree surgery tools and paraphernalia. If the individual you have picked out arrives on the job with just a handsaw and a ladder, get rid of them and find somebody more qualified.

You should make certain there is no Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on any of your trees in Swynnerton, before you undertake any major work on them. You local planning authority is the place to head to determine whether there are any Tree Preservation Orders on your trees. You could ask if your tree surgeon will help with these checks, any good one will be glad to offer guidance and advice.

You'll need to find a dependable tree surgeon in Swynnerton, as soon as you have decided that you require professional help with your tree care. Of course, there are a number of ways in which you can accomplish this. You could submit your requirements to Quotatis, Rated People, Checkatrade, or another of the trade portals online. You can search on the web and find the web sites of local Swynnerton tree surgeons offering their services near you. You can flick through your local newspaper or the Yellow Pages. You could ask friends or family if they know a person they are prepared to recommend. These techniques should give you a good short list of potential tree surgeons.

To find the crème de la crème of tree surgeons in Swynnerton, you can look to the ARB (Arboricultural Association), who have a directory of approved contractors, who comprise the top 2% of UK companies. They will have attained:

• Training and development.
• Health and safety compliance and training.
• Compliance with legislative requirements and arboricultural contracting.
• High standards of service to clients.
• Working standards, operations and knowledge.

Sad to say, there are frequently reports in the press about cowboys and rogue traders offering tree surgery services, so once again, asking for evidence of qualifications is essential to avoid these sorts of con-men who may be operating in Swynnerton, and sticking to reputable local tree surgery companies is normally best. This work is dangerous, as we've previously stated, and should not be tackled by people who are untrained or unqualified.

You should also keep in mind that if the work is not performed by somebody who is knowledgeable, irreparable harm or damage may be done to your precious trees. You should stick with the pros, because pruning, treating or lopping trees at the wrong time of the year or in the wrong way can be disastrous for the wellbeing of your trees.

You should not just get one company in and accept the first quotation you are offered, obtain at least two or three quotes from different local tree surgeons in Swynnerton, so you can make a better judgement. With regards to selecting your Swynnerton tree surgeon, you shouldn't automatically choose the one who provides the cheapest price.

To get an idea of exactly who you are dealing with, try to ask lots of probing questions. You will want to make sure that they're adequately insured (two million pounds is the minimum for tree surgeons), and you'll want to know what is included in the price you've been quoted. An important thing that should be included in the quoted price is waste removal. You'll need to know if they're taking away all the waste, logs and branches that they generate.

If the tree surgeon is prepared to provide you with a couple of references from customers they've worked for in the past, that would also be an advantage. If a tree surgery firm in Swynnerton is reliable they'll be happy to provide you with references and even photographs of their work. If a company happens to own a Facebook page, you could also take a peek at that, because these pages generally give clues about how a company functions and how happy its clientele are.

They will work in Swynnerton itself, along with nearby areas such as Cotes Heath, Stableford, Barlaston, Meaford, Walford, Cranberry, Yarnfield, Cotes, Bowers, Sandyford, Slindon, Tittensor, Mill Meece, Standon, Lower Hatton, Knowl Wall, and these postcodes: ST15 0QE, ST15 0RA, ST15 0RB, ST15 0PJ, ST15 0QR, ST15 0PN, ST15 0RD, ST15 0GF, ST15 0QZ, ST15 0PL.

For this type of assistance it's certainly advisable to use an accredited tree surgeon. Swynnerton business and home owners can benefit greatly from the expertise and knowhow that are the trademark of a seasoned professional.

Removing Tree Stumps Swynnerton

When you've a tree that needs felling on your property in Swynnerton, you will also need to think about how you're going to deal with the stump. Now, in some circumstances you might be perfectly happy to leave the stump in position and allow it to break down and rot away entirely naturally. However, tree stumps in your garden can be trip hazards, can attract unwanted pests, and can even produce new suckers in an effort to regrow.

There are a number of methods for removing a tree stump altogether, but stump removal and stump grinding are the two primary alternatives. In the next few sentences, we will be considering the different methods of removal.

There are three primary techniques that can be used to remove a tree stump - you can chemically treat it, you can burn it or you can dig it out by hand. If it's your intention to do the stump removal yourself, any of these approaches could be an option. If a local tree surgeon is going to be performing the work, stump grinding is generally their method of choice, however eco-plugging or some other chemically based stump removal treatment might also be considered.

Digging Out a Stump by Hand: Digging by hand is pretty self-explanatory and involves digging down, cutting all the roots, and releasing the stump. Some kind of cable ratchet winch may be necessary for the final lifting out process. This can be tedious and exhausting work, and shouldn't be tackled unless you are fit and healthy.

Burning a Tree Stump: Be careful if you choose this approach to stump removal, because stump burning can be dangerous and could contravene local laws. You will have to drill several one inch holes in the stump, and pour in some vegetable oil, you'll need to keep the holes topped up for several days until the stump has become totally saturated. You can then stack charcoal around the tree stump and set fire to it. Such a fire should not be left unattended, and must be monitored until safe to do so. As soon as the burning process has finished, you should ensure that the fire is fully extinguished, when it is no longer hot you can dig out and remove the remnants of roots and stump.

Other techniques include digging out and clearing away all the soil from below the stump, and lighting a fire in the space that's been created. None of these stump burning techniques should even be considered if the tree stump is close to a building, other trees or fences.

Chemical Stump Removal: A strong chemical compound such as Roundup Tree Stump Remover, Resolva Xtra Tough Tree Stump Killer or Vitax SBK Stump Killer, will be required if you decide to go with the chemical treatment option. When utilising these you should closely follow the directions, as these chemicals can be very hazardous. Depending on the dimensions of your stump, and if it's alive or dead at the time of treatment, it can take a few weeks or maybe even months for a tree stump to rot away entirely, so consider this to be as a long term fix. Once well rotted, an axe can be used to chop it up and a shovel for removal.

Dutch Elm Disease

No longer the problem that it once was, Dutch Elm Disease (Ophiostoma novo-ulmi) has killed tens of millons of elm trees all over the British Isles over the past 50 years or so. Inadvertently imported into the British Isles from Canada in the Sixties, Dutch Elm Disease is spread by the elm bark beetle (particularly the Scolytus genus) and caused by a fungus called Ophiostoma novo-ulmi.

Through the nationwide movement of elm products like saplings, elm crates, bark mulch, and logs with the bark still attached, it spread swiftly through the UK after first arriving. This awful disease didn't only impact elms in the British Isles, but also decimated tree stocks in mainland Europe, North America and New Zealand. While the origins of Dutch Elm Disease are unknown, the suspicion is that it first originated from Asia.

DED normally first shows up in early summer, and the main signs are:

• Clusters of leaves turning yellow, wilting and falling.
• Affected shoots dying back from the tips.
• Twigs turning into a "shepherd's crook".
• Twigs with spots or rings in cross-section.

Due to disease and the subsequent chopping down of dead, infected and dying trees, there are not many large elms surviving in Great Britain's countryside, and thus the spread has slowed down and the favourite habitat of the elm bark beetle essentially removed. There's a continuing project for the propagation of young saplings that are resistant to DED.

If you suspect that you might have infected elm trees in your garden in Swynnerton, you could put in a request for a diagnosis from the THDAS (Tree Health Diagnostic and Advisory Service), or contact your local tree surgeon for guidance and advice.

Hedge Trimming Swynnerton

Although Swynnerton tree surgeons are primarily associated with the maintenance and care of trees they're also regularly called on to trim and cut back hedges. Using a local tree surgeon can be a big advantage when working on conifer hedges such as Leylandii, which can soon get too tall for a householder or regular gardener to deal with, needing specialist equipment to manage successfully.

A hedge that is uncared for and poorly maintained can soon become overgrown and fairly quickly get out of control. It's advisable to trim your hedges on a regular basis, and this isn't purely to stop them from overwhelm large sections of your garden, but also to make them more aesthetically appealing and stronger.

If your intentions are to sell your property, neat hedges will help to make your entire garden more tidy, and could even add to the value of your home in Swynnerton. You should also be able to get hedge cutting services in Cotes Heath, Stableford, Barlaston, Meaford, Walford, Cranberry, Yarnfield, Cotes, Bowers, Sandyford, Slindon, Tittensor, Mill Meece, Standon, Lower Hatton, Knowl Wall, and and of course Swynnerton.

Ash Dieback

A harmful fungal disease that's expected to decimate close to 80 percent of the current UK ash tree stocks, in the next few years, ash dieback was first recorded in the British Isles in 2012, when a nursery brought in 2000 trees from Holland. Following the Dutch Elm Disease catastrophe, which decimated Great Britain's elm trees, ash dieback is set to have a huge impact on our countryside.

The Fraxinus genus of trees is affected by this highly destructive disease, although it has a particularly devastating effect on Fraxinus excelsior (the European or common ash), which is the most widespread species in Britain. Thought to have originally come from Asia where the native species of ash (Fraxinus chinensis and Fraxinus mandshurica) were less susceptible, the fungus which causes ash dieback is known as Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (H. fraxineus), and it obstructs a tree's vascular (water transport) systems, causing it to die.

Dispersed by wind blown spores produced by the fruiting bodies of the fungus, and can travel for tens of miles, ash dieback (or chalara ash dieback as it is often known) has now spread to most areas of the UK.

The unmistakeable symptoms of ash dieback are:

• New growth appears from previously dormant buds.
• The formation of diamond shaped, dark brown lesions where limbs join the trunk.
• Foliage that wilts, turns black and falls early.
• Dark patches on leaves during mid to late summer.
• Dying leaves and shoots which are visible during the summertime.

To a certain degree, ash trees can fend off the disease, however they eventually perish as they are repeatedly attacked every year. There's currently no cure for ash dieback, and no apparent strategy for stopping its spread.

Although cases of ash dieback can be reported to the "Tree Alert Service" provided by the Forestry Commission, it is now so common right through Great Britain that they're only really interested in cases that are discovered in locations not affected previously. If you think you have a tree infected with ash dieback in your garden in Swynnerton, you should still get in touch with a local tree surgeon, who will offer advice and guidance about how to proceed - ultimately the tree will need to be downed and removed.
