subject: Advice From A Tree Surgeon [print this page] While a lot of a tree surgeon's time is naturally spent outdoors making physical changes to trees and their surrounding environment, they are also qualified to offer advice on a wide array of topics to do with trees. This article examines how the advice from a tree surgeon may benefit you.
Applications and Appeals
Some trees are covered by Tree Preservation Orders because of their beauty, age, size or another reason and if that's the case then you would need to get consent from the local authority in order to remove it. Likewise, if your tree is within a Conservation Area then you will need to get permission. A decent tree surgeon can provide plenty of advice as how best to go about this, or may even put through the application or appeal for you.
Tree Planting Schemes
Tree planting schemes are often used by businesses to prove how green they are, or by a larger land owner who wants to take some responsibility for the land that is theirs. Of course, this will often require the employment of a tree surgeon in order to plan the planting of the trees and make sure it happens smoothly, but also to help with growing the trees so that they reach maturity.
Woodland Management
Of course, woodland management is one of the most common types of large project that a tree surgeon will undertake and as such it is one that requires a lot of skill and a lot of planning, most of which really can only be done by an appropriately qualified professional who understands what needs to be done to make sure that the woodland thrives and the trees within it stay healthy in the long term.
Veteran Tree Management
Older trees can be some of the most challenging to manage, partly because of their size but also because they are more susceptible to disease. Because of their age they are often of special interest - often because of their size - and therefore need a more sensitive approach to ensure their continued healthy existence. Only a qualified tree surgeon can really help in this sort of scenario.
As you can see there are plenty of areas where a tree surgeon may be able to help you with the management and planning element of your trees and in many case hiring one is the only really sensible option to pursue.
