Understanding What We Have to Offer
We’re all growing so much more confident with DIY, and we think that’s a great thing! There are so many jobs that can be tackled without the need for a professional, and doing so can be really empowering. However, there are some things that you should never try to do yourself – and one of them is tree surgery. As a tree surgeon Chigwell property owners trust, we’ve seen firsthand how taking the DIY approach can go wrong. Here’s why you should always leave it to the professionals:
Tree Work Is Dangerous
One of the most important reasons to avoid DIY tree surgery is safety. Working on trees is dangerous, even for us! The difference is, we are trained to work safely at height and know how to use powerful equipment safely. While you may attempt to carry out work on your tree(s) with the utmost care, your lack of qualifications and experience could put you, your trees, and the people around you at risk. So don’t take a chance!
We Know What We’re Doing
Tree surgery isn’t just a matter of cutting off a few branches or chopping a tree down; it’s knowing how to do those things properly! Cutting a tree at the wrong point can weaken it, leaving it vulnerable to disease or even collapse. It can also lead to permanent damage, reducing the tree’s lifespan. On the other hand, you could be left dealing with aggressive regrowth! When you choose us, you are choosing a team who knows how to do the job correctly the first time around.
The Legal Side
Tree work isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. Many trees are protected under Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or located within conservation areas. Carrying out unauthorised work on protected trees can lead to some big legal consequences and fines. When you choose us, we will tell you how to check with your local council for any legal restrictions, and we can also help with any applications needed for tree work. We will also understand when permission is not needed, preventing any unnecessary delays.
The Value of a Trusted Tree Surgeon
Doing tree work yourself can seem like an easy way to save money, but it often leads to more costs in the long run. When you choose us, you can expect:
- Expert advice on the health and safety of your trees.
- Clear pricing and written quotes, with no hidden surprises.
- Proper disposal of waste, leaving your garden tidy.
- Public liability insurance to give you peace of mind.
