The process involves tree surgery and felling

There’s no need to worry about any dangers with Glasgow Green Tree Surgeons-we always make sure that our work areas are safe for all people before starting.

The first thing we do during tree surgery and felling is to fully assess the tree. We need to examine it from a few different angles, and we’ll also look at any damage or rot that may have occurred over time. If we think there is anything dangerous about the tree-such as dead parts of the wood in its trunk or branches that might fall dangerously-then our tree experts will make a note before starting work on your tree surgery and felling project.

The process of removing foliage includes cutting down some smaller branches first so they don’t get in the way during other tasks, like pruning large limbs. The team uses chainsaws for this task. However, depending on where you live, sometimes loppers are used instead since they can be less noisy than chainsaws.

Tree surgery and felling professionals use ladders to reach parts of a tree that are high up, so you should always make sure they have them when getting in touch with your company. If there is any damage on or near the ladder because it was not used properly, for example, then this could negatively impact your project and lead to additional costs being incurred as well.

Is there something wrong with my tree?

u

Do I have to replace my tree if it is protected?

If you are concerned about whether or not an older tree might be protected under conservation laws, then get in touch with us first so that we can tell you what options may be available when planning this work. This way, you will avoid making a costly mistake.
u

Will the presence of birds or bats make any difference to my tree work?

It can sometimes be necessary for bird nesting boxes or bat roosting boxes to be left in place until the birds or bats have fled. Bat exclusion can be carried out from October up to April, but there are certain times when a bat box has to remain attached and trees should not be felled during this time as it will most certainly disturb these protected species of our wildlife.

What is the difference between an arborist and a tree surgeon?

An Arborist normally works within forestry commission areas, whereas a tree surgeon typically undertakes private work on an individual’s land, so they would need their insurance policies for public liability etc. There may also be restrictions placed upon them due to local authorities’ planning laws, meaning that if you want your tree removed, some form of planning permission would be required.
