Tree Surgeon Ore

Tree Surgery and Tree Management

Ore Tree Surgeon East Sussex: An attractive feature of many properties and gardens in Ore, trees add substance, style and structure to what can frequently be a dull and 2 dimensional landscape. This is all well and good, but when trees are diseased, poorly maintained, or damaged by severe weather conditions, for instance flooding or gales, problems can occur which need to be sorted. Seeking the advice of a trained tree surgeon in Ore, is the best option when there is work that needs doing on your trees.

Ore Tree Surgeon Quotes (TN35)

There is an enormous risk of damage to the trees, to property or to life, for folks in Ore who try to do tree work by themselves, or by hiring non-qualified individuals. But even employing a seasoned tree surgeon who is acquainted with all the dangers doesn't necessarily mean that tree work is entirely safe. Within the industry there are an average of 140 severe injuries and 3 deaths per year, making tree surgery one of the most hazardous jobs in Britain.

Local Tree Surgeon Ore

A poorly maintained or damaged tree can also be a threat to life, with around five people each year being killed by falling branches and trees in the UK. If an injury, or damage to property occurs due to you bringing in someone to conduct tree work, you could be liable for any compensation to any third-party due to the consequences of your actions. The above are merely some of the reasons why it is vitally important to use an accredited tree surgeon to do the work on your trees in Ore. (The figures given were sourced from HSE UK).

A skilled tree surgeon in Ore will likely be a registered member of one or both of the two main industry bodies. The membership and professional standing of any tree surgeon in Ore can be checked on the websites of both the International Society of Arboriculture and the Arboricultural Association. To find out if any particular tree surgeon has recognised ARB Approved Contractor status and has membership of either of these two associations, you can check out this page.

You'll be able to contact these industry associations for assistance in arbitration and for help and guidance, if there is a problem at any point during the tree work, or after it has been finished.

Professional Tree Surgeons Ore East Sussex

If anyone who you cannot find on this directory list offers to provide you with a price quote, you should politely decline their offer of work and continue your search for an accredited contractor. It's a good idea to get at least 3 quotations from different companies in the Ore area, once you've meticulously checked their professional accreditations and associations. Whilst getting these quotes you should ask the below questions, expressing that you need to know the answers because of the risks involved with the work:

  • Have you got documents to demonstrate that you've got the appropriate qualifications, membership of the AA or ISA, and also a certificate for the use of a chainsaw from the NPTC/LANTRA? The NPTC/LANTRA is a required certificate in law for any tree worker using a chainsaw. Qualifications can include Certificates and National Diplomas in Arboriculture.
  • Can I contact some former clients to check the quality of your workmanship? It is a good idea to do an independent check of any recent work.
  • Do you supply written quotations? You must NEVER accept just a verbal quote. Only ever accept a quote in writing.
  • What insurance cover is provided? Do not consider a tree surgeon in Ore with less than £5 Million public liability insurance as stipulated by the ISA and AA.

The written quote that you are provided with must include easily followed specifics of the planned work. It should include details about any trees which might be protected in law, and the steps required to obtain permission to work on them, and also state who is responsible for the removal of tree branches, stumps and debris. Unless you're a commercial entity, you should also make certain that VAT has been included on the quote. It is very important to understand that you've got a responsibility for employing only qualified tradespeople to work on your trees and property.

PRIOR TO WORK - Checking into the possibility of any of your trees being protected, your chosen Ore tree surgeon should ensure that any work gets the go-ahead from the appropriate local authority department. To ensure public safety, even protected trees need to be maintained in order to cut back dead or dying wood, therefore finding that a tree is protected does not mean that you are unable to carry out necessary work.

If your property in Ore is within a conservation area then no less than 6 weeks written notice must be given to the Local Planning Authority (LPA) before any tree work can be conducted. This notice is not required if the trunk of the tree is under 7.5cm in diameter when measured at 1.5 metres from ground level. It's also not necessary to give notice if a protected tree's branches need thinning or pruning simply to sustain and encourage growth.

Tree Surgery Ore (TN35)

After fully assessing the health of the trees on your property, your chosen Ore tree surgeon will decide on the appropriate treatments and how the best outcome can be safely achieved. Where there is any chance of falling branches and debris, a risk assessment will need to be done on public areas, your property, and sections of a neighbour's property that may be impacted. This stage will also ascertain the level of protection needed and the amount of operatives required. To keep property and the general public safe from harm or damage, this will include both personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety measures.

ON THE DAY OF WORK - Before any tree felling, cutting of branches or climbing commences, safety measures and barriers will be put in place to keep unauthorised persons and passers-by away from the work area. Where there is a possibility of branches and debris crashing onto a public highway, it may be necessary to briefly stop the traffic.

The tree surgeon will need different levels of protection based on the kind of tree work being completed. At the bare minimum they need to be wearing protective clothing to avoid injuring the torso, legs and hands, when working with a chainsaw. High-vis clothing, and head and eye protection, must be worn by all operatives involved in the work.

If working at height is involved, associated climbing equipment and ladders will have to be deployed, and extra operatives will be there to help in the safe removal of high branches and sections of tree trunk. For removing waste materials, easy access to the work site will be needed. Therefore, it's advisable to inform your neighbours, since a skip or other transportation vehicle will need to be parked as close as possible to the work area whilst the work proceeds.

AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK - When the tree work has been finished all the waste can be transported away and the whole area cleared of all debris. A certificate of work done will then be put together by your tree surgeon, especially where the trees are under a protection order, which will be signed off and a copy handed to you. If any public areas needed safety measures, this protection will be taken away and highways and footpaths will be re-opened.

If you have any complaints about the work, you should get them rectified straight away by first of all taking them up with your tree surgeon. If any further arbitration is required, and your tree surgeon is a member of a professional body, you can receive guidance and advice from the AA or the ISA in order to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

Hedge Cutting Ore

Hedge Trimming Ore

Although tree surgeons in Ore are largely associated with the care and maintenance of trees and shrubs they are also often hired to trim hedges. In particular this is useful if you have conifer hedges such as Leylandii which can quickly get too tall for your average gardener to deal with.

A hedge can pretty quickly become overgrown and out of control when it's poorly maintained and neglected. If you allow a hedge to overwhelm large parts of your garden, it can be hard to fix down the line, therefore routine trimming is recommended for both the aesthetic appeal and health of your hedge.

Tidy hedges help make your garden and property neater and more appealing, which could be a massive advantage if you're considering selling your home in the forseeable future. You can also obtain hedge trimming services in Westfield, Udimore, Whatlington, Sedlescombe, Winchelsea, Guestling, Catsfield, Crowhurst, Bexhill-on-Sea, Icklesham, Brede, St Helens, Mountfield, Hastings, Fairlight, Broad Oak, and and of course Ore.

The ISA - International Society of Arboriculture

Often just referred to as the ISA, the International Society of Arboriculture is based in Atlanta, GA, United States, and is a non-profit organisation. Providing accreditations for tree care specialists across the world, the ISA is a membership association that supports the professional practice of arboriculture.

Endorsing best tree care practices through educational publications, services and events, the ISA has a firm focus on allowing those in the tree care industry develop their knowledge, skills and arboricultural expertise whenever possible.

After signing a partnership agreement with them the Arboricultural Association was accepted as an associate organisation of the ISA in 2016. The relationship between the two associations was thus strengthened, and additional opportunities opened up for UK and Ireland ISA members. Being part of a worldwide network of tree care professionals is something that AA and ISA members in the United Kingdom and Ireland can now take advantage of. Boasting over twenty two thousand members internationally the ISA now has professional affiliates and associate organisations in EXTRAroot flare exposure, emergency tree removal, hedge reduction in Ore, tree staking, crown thinning, monitoring of tree health, tree planning, tree reshaping, tree work, tree transplanting, tree cabling, tree removal Ore, commercial tree care in Ore, brush cutting in Ore, forestry management, crown removal, formative pruning, the removal of dead wood in Ore, shrub maintenance, tree dismantling in Ore, pollarding, vegetation management Ore, woodchipping, drop crotching, crown reduction, tree reduction, tree maintenance, landscape clearance, woodland management, site clearanceTEN, and the UK.

Tree Transplanting Ore

Tree Transplanting Ore (01424)

Moving a mature tree and transplanting it in a new location might sound difficult, but with powerful, modern lifting equipment and vehicle mounted tree spades, it's become a comparatively straightforward task. A specialist tree removal contractor in Ore will be happy to move any trees you have on your property, or transplant adult trees for an instant aesthetic appeal.

If you have no choice but to transplant a tree in Ore during the warmer summer seasons of spring and summer, you should lessen the stress of the move on the tree's root system by thoroughly soaking the soil with water before any work begins. To lift a tree from the soil a truck mounted tree spade is forced down into the ground to surround the tree's root ball, before lifting the whole tree free. The tree can then be replanted or stored temporarily before its re-planting in its new home.

If you want to move a tree from land that's got a preservation order on it, a specialist tree moving business in Ore can liaise with relevant authorities to approve replanting in a suitable location.

Regular Duties of a Tree Surgeon

  • Create on-site or telephone quotes with the customers.
  • Fell and remove trees and perform stump grinding.
  • Produce tree survey reports for both domestic and commercial customers.
  • Service equipment like chippers and chainsaws.
  • Plant trees and vegetation.
  • Deal with customers and complete administration tasks.
  • Be proficient with power tools and equipment.
  • Climb trees to remove or prune branches.
  • Identify hazards presented by trees.
  • Tidy up site on completion and remove waste products from client's site.
  • Evaluate tree health and treatments.
  • Cut and chip logs and branches.

Accidents Through Tree Surgery

The work carried out by tree surgeons in Ore can be pretty dangerous. All possible precautions should be implemented when carrying out work on trees, because most tree work involves a considerable risk of injury to both operatives, co-workers and passers-by.

It would seem (as reported by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive)), that falls from trees, the use of chainsaws, and being struck by a falling branch or tree are the cause of a large majority of serious and fatal injuries that are associated with tree work. The startling fact is that operatives that are involved in tree care work are more at risk of serious injury than those working in the construction industry.

According to insurance provider databases, lifting injuries, falling from ladders and being struck by objects (trees, cranes, grapple hooks, ropes, branches etc), are the most common accidents for which claims are made.

When work needs to be done on your trees, all this demonstrates the need for choosing a knowledgeable Ore tree surgeon. Unskilled workers trying to carry out tasks that they're not trained in, accounts for many accidents in the tree care sector. So, always use an established and reputable Ore company who have been working in the area for a number of years, to sidestep this kind of problem.

Stump Grinding

Stump Grinding Ore

If you need to have some stump grinding undertaken, it is best to contact a tree surgeon having the proper tools and knowhow. Professional tree surgeons will endeavour to grind out all of the stump to a good twelve inches below ground level. Grinding down roots and stumps very close to buildings and walls while avoiding damage, can only be accomplished if the tree surgeon has got access to the right machinery. Even any tree stumps that are in narrow alleys and passageways, can be removed using the proper machinery. When you are taking out a large tree the stump left over can be quite enormous and regardless of what you are likely to use the resulting empty space for, the likelihood is that the tree stump will need to be removed a decent amount below surface level.

Dutch Elm Disease

A fungal disease that has killed millions of elm trees right through the British Isles over the past fifty years or so, Dutch Elm Disease (Ophiostoma novo-ulmi) isn't quite as big an issue as it was previously. Spread by the elm bark beetle (Scolytus) and caused by the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, DED (Dutch Elm Disease) was accidentally introduced into Great Britain from North America (Canada) in the Sixties.

After its arrival, it spread rapidly through the nationwide transportation of elm products like elm crates, mulching bark, saplings, and firewood logs with the bark still attached. Thought to have originated in Asia (possibly Japan), DED did not just affect trees in the British Isles, but also ravaged the stocks of elms in continental Europe, North America and New Zealand.

The symptoms of Dutch Elm disease typically appear first in early summer, and manifest themselves as:

  • New shoots dying back from the tips.
  • Dark streaks underneath the bark of twigs.
  • Clusters of leaves that turn yellow, wilt and fall.
  • Twigs that turn into a "shepherd's crook" shape.

The chopping down of dead, dying and infected trees, has essentially removed the favourite habitat of the elm bark beetle, and in recent times the spread of this disease has been slowed down. New plants have also been propagated from trees that have proved to be resistant up to now.

If you've got elms on your property in Ore, and are suspicious that they might be infected with Dutch Elm Disease, you should contact your local tree surgeon for advice, or ask for a diagnosis from the Tree Health Diagnostic and Advisory Service.

Tree families affected: Ulmacae and Zelkova.

Vectors - beetles of the Scolytus and Hylorgopinus genera.

Cause - fungi Ophiostoma Novo-Ulmi and Ophiostoma Ulmi.

Emergency Call-Outs Ore

Making an emergency call to a tree surgeon is not an occurrence which is liable to happen very frequently, but if you have sizeable trees in your garden in Ore, this may be a necessity sooner or later. Several Ore tree surgeons provide a 24/7 service, and when there are gales and high winds, they usually notice an increase in emergency call outs. Branches are more likely to snap off and fall when the weather is stormy, and a higher likelihood of an entire tree crashing down and harming property or people. When branches and tree limbs start falling cracked greenhouses, squashed sheds, damaged fences and busted garden furniture are a common outcome, so avoidance is better than having to tackle the consequences.

Naturally, the local council in Ore will also occasionally need to call out emergency tree surgery services, when large branches fall onto public paths, railway tracks and roads.

When a tree has lost some of it's larger branches it can become lopsided or uneven, with more branches and weight on one side. This can be both unsightly and unsafe, so the tree might have to undergo a "re-balancing" procedure. If you're experiencing any of these tree related issues, you shouldn't attempt to tackle any of them yourself, and you should immediately call up a local Ore tree surgeon who offers emergency services, so that they can advise on the preferred strategy.

Tree Preservation Orders Ore

You must make certain there is not a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on any of your trees in Ore, before you do any serious work on them. To check whether the trees on your property are protected by TPOs, contact your local planning authority. If one of your trees have TPOs, you cannot perform cutting down, wilful destruction, wilful damage, topping, lopping, removal or uprooting, without consent in writing from the local authority. You could ask if your tree surgeon will help with this process, any dependable one will be glad to offer guidance.

If your property is within a conservation area in Ore, and plan to conduct any work on a tree with a diameter of 75mm or more (1.5 metres from the ground), you need to give at least 6 weeks notice in writing to your local council.

Woodland Clearance Ore

Woodland Clearance Ore (TN35)

The clearance of woodlands in the Ore area should only be carried out after the appropriate regulatory measures and restrictions have been put in place and followed. Calling on the skills of an experienced Ore tree surgeon for woodland clearance, will see them following applicable covenants and protection orders, applying for any permits, and use eco-friendly techniques in conduction the clearance.

A professional company will communicate with national and local woodland organisations and authorities to carry out a full site survey. If it's found that protected plant or animal life is in the area to be cleared, it is necessary to transfer such flora and fauna, on approval from the relevant authorities.

The expensive and specialist chipping, mulching and felling equipment that is used in woodland clearances means that it's far more cost effective to bring in an accredited tree surgeon to complete your project.
