The cost of hiring a tree surgeon in the UK can vary depending on the job’s complexity. Generally, tree surgery services range from £150 – £900 per day, with the average cost estimated at around £300 per day rate per person. Tree surgery is high-risk work that usually requires a minimum of two people legally on site for safety regulations. It is important to note that fees may also be higher if the job requires more specialist tools and equipment. It is recommended to seek out several quotes from different tree care companies before deciding on a contractor, as this will help to ensure the most competitive quote.
There are many things to consider. One of the most critical decisions is hiring a Tree Surgeon, an Arborist, or a man with a chainsaw qualification. So, what’s the difference?
Tree Surgeons or Climber Tree Surgeon has NPTC qualifications for “The aerial cutting of trees with a chainsaw” as a minimum. They can perform various tree surgery services, from tree felling and stump removal to hedge trimming and tree pruning.
Arborists are usually also qualified climbing tree surgeons. But as well as the skills and qualifications needed to do tree surgery work, they will also have some form of education in tree health and disease. They will often carry out Tree Health Assessments, Tree Risk Assessments, and Tree Protection Plans. However, they will make sure that any tree surgery work carried out doesn´t affect the health and longevity of a tree.
Chainsaw Men are usually unqualified in tree surgery or arboriculture and have only been trained in the use of chainsaws. A Chainsaw man has a “chainsaw ticket” from one of the national training bodies and knows little about how to safely fall or prune large trees. They should only be used for low-risk tree work on small trees and hedges.
In reality, on a job, there may be one or two “climbing tree surgeons or arborists” with a groundsman or two to ensure cut branches are removed and either put through a chipping machine or thrown on a truck or van. The groundsman will also ensure that the area under the tree stays safe and clear of people.
Sometimes a tree surgeon can work from a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP), often referred to as a “cherry picker.”
When the trees enter a dormant stage, autumn and winter are the best time for tree surgery. This is because plants are much less active during this time, meaning they are less likely to suffer shock or other damage due to pruning. Low temperatures also reduce the risk of disease and pests, making this the ideal time for tree surgery. Pruning during this period helps trees take their new shape more quickly and encourages more robust growth once spring arrives.
Knowing what to look for is essential if you need to hire a tree surgeon in Aberdeen. You want to ensure you hire someone who knows what they’re doing. This blog post will discuss ten things you should consider when hiring a fully qualified tree care provider at a fair price. We’ll also provide tips on choosing the right one for your needs.
If you’re looking for a reliable and experienced tree surgeon, ask about their experience before hiring them. A crew with a lot of experience will know how to handle a variety of situations and will be able to work quickly and efficiently. They will also have the necessary safety equipment to do the job safely.
Experienced tree surgeons mostly learn their skills through experience, but asking about their qualifications and certification is always a good idea. Over and above this, there are various levels of accreditation to the UK Arboricultural Association. This is optional for doing this type of work. Still, it is a good indicator that the tree surgeon (individual consultant) or tree surgery company (Approved contractor) is fully qualified and competent in tree surgery and as an arborist. Good tree surgeons are often Arboricultural Association Members, but it is not an industry requirement.
To legally be able to work in the UK, a tree surgeon should have, as a minimum, his chainsaw ticket from NPTC or equivalent. This means they have met the requirements and have been certified to provide safe tree care services. Choosing an NPTC-licensed tree surgeon is a sign that you’re hiring a professional who takes safety seriously.
A tree surgeon with liability insurance is a must-have. You will be protected financially if something goes wrong while they are working on your property.
When looking for a tree surgeon, ask for references from past clients. This will give you an idea of the quality of work they have done in the past. Research online and see what others say about the tree surgeon you are considering hiring. There are many review sites where you can read feedback from past customers. If the tree surgeon does not have references, that is a red flag, and you should move on to someone else.
Once you’ve found a tree surgeon in Aberdeen that you feel comfortable with, be sure to get an estimate in writing. This will help protect you from any unexpected charges later on. Get at least two estimates before making your final decision. And be sure to ask about hidden fees or extra charges that may not be included in the estimate.
Tree surgeons can be expensive, so you’ll want to ensure you’re not left with a massive bill if something goes wrong. Most reputable ones will offer a warranty or guarantee on their work.
When looking for tree services in Aberdeen, it is crucial to ensure they protect the trees and wildlife. This means they will not damage any unintended plants or animals while doing their work.
Tree surgeons who use bad practices, such as heavily topping trees, should be avoided. This is because these practices can damage the tree and make it more likely to die. Topping is when the crown of a tree is cut off, which can stunt the tree’s growth and make it more susceptible to disease. They should only prune trees if it is necessary and should not use excessive topping as a way to control the size of the tree.
