Tree Surgeon March

There is an enormous risk of damaging trees, property or even life, for those in March who try to do tree work themselves, or by employing a non-qualified person. However, even for trained tree surgeons who are acquainted with all the hazards, tree work is not entirely safe. There are an average of three deaths and 140 major injuries annually within the industry, making it one of the most hazardous jobs in the United Kingdom and definitely not for novices to attempt.

A poorly maintained or damaged tree can also be a risk to life, with around five people annually being tragically killed by falling branches and trees in the UK. If you bring in someone to do tree work and subsequently there is an injury, or damage to property, you may well be liable for any compensation to any third-party. These are just a few of the reasons why it is vitally important to retain the services of a trained tree surgeon to do the work on your trees. (All figures from HSE).

CHOOSING A TREE SURGEON IN MARCH - A seasoned March tree surgeon will likely be a signed up member of one or both of the 2 principal professional arboricultural bodies. Both the Arboricultural Association (AA) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) offers a website where you can check up on the membership and professional status of any tree surgeon in March. To determine whether any specific tree surgeon has recognised ARB Approved Contractor status and has membership of either of these two bodies, you can check out this page.

For mediation assistance and for help and guidance at any stage during or after the tree work has been concluded, you are able to contact either one of these industry organisations.

If somebody offers you a price quote for any tree work and they're not on this directory, you should tactfully decline their offer of work and find an approved contractor. You should try to get a minimum of three quotes from different companies in and around March as soon as you are reassured of their accreditations and professional associations. Because of the risks of the work involved, you should ask the questions below, making it crystal clear that you need a response:

• Could I contact some former clients to assess the standard of your tree work? It is generally advisable to perform an independent examination of recently completed work.
• Can you give me a written quotation? Only ever accept a quote in writing. NEVER settle for a verbal quote only.
• Exactly what level of insurance coverage have you got? Do not consider a tree surgeon in March with less than £5 Million public liability insurance as set out by the ISA and AA.
• Do you have a NPTC certificate for chainsaw use, and documentary verification of your professional memberships and qualifications? It's required by law that any tree surgeon/operative who uses a chainsaw must have NPTC/LANTRA certification. Qualifications may include City and Guilds Diplomas and Certificates in Arboriculture.

The written quotation must include clear and precise details of the tree work being undertaken. Who's responsible for the removal and disposal of tree branches, stumps and waste should be stated, as should specifics of any trees which may be protected, and the steps necessary to obtain permission to carry out work on them. Unless you're a commercial entity, you should also make certain that VAT has been included on the quotation. It's extremely important to understand that you've got a responsibility for hiring only capable tradespeople to work on your property and trees.

PRIOR TO WORK - Your selected March tree surgeon will need to make enquiries into the possibility of any trees being protected in your area and make the appropriate steps to ensure that any work can get the green light from the local authorities. Even protected trees need maintenance so as to cut back old or damaged wood and ensure the safety of the public, so discovering that a tree has protected status does not mean that work cannot still be carried out.

If your property in March is located within a designated conservation area, the Local Planning Authority will require no less than 6 weeks written notice of any tree work you're intending to do. This written notice is not required if the trunk of the tree is less than 7.5cm in diameter when measured at 1.5m from the ground. It is also not necessary to give written notice if a protected tree's branches need pruning or thinning simply to promote and sustain growth.

On site they'll perform a thorough assessment of your trees and determine the remedial treatment needed and how best to achieve the required outcome in a safe manner. Where there's any potential for falling branches, a risk assessment will have to be done on public spaces, your property, and parts of neighbouring properties that could be impacted. This stage will also establish the amount of workers needed and the level of protection required. This will include a number of safety measures together with personal protective equipment (PPE) to guarantee the safety of the general public and nearby property.

ON THE DAY OF WORK - To keep unauthorised persons away from the work area, safety measures and barriers will be put in place before any climbing, cutting of branches or tree felling commences. When there is the chance of branches and debris crashing onto a road, it may be necessary to halt the traffic briefly.

Subject to the kind of work that is called for a tree surgeon will need different levels of protection. At the very least they need to be wearing protective clothing to avoid injuring the hands, legs and torso, when doing chainsaw work. At all times, every worker involved in the operation should wear high-vis clothing, and eye and head protection.

If any working at height is involved, safety climbing equipment and ladders will need to be deployed, and extra personnel will be there to help in the safe removal of high branches and heavy sections of tree trunk. A skip or pickup truck for removing the waste will be parked as close to the work area as possible, so it's recommended that you inform your nearby neighbours of the need for easy access.

UPON COMPLETION OF WORK - The area can be cleared of any debris, and all the waste can be transported away, after all the tree work has been accomplished. Particularly where the trees are covered by TPOs, a certificate of work will then be prepared by your tree surgeon, which will be signed off and a copy given to you. Highways and paths can then be re-opened, with any safety measures in public spaces being taken away.

Issues or problems should be fixed immediately by approaching the tree surgeon directly. If there is any further dispute or arbitration needed, and your tree surgeon is a member of a trade body, you can receive guidance and advice from the International Society of Arboriculture or the Arboricultural Association in order to arrive at an acceptable conclusion.

Protecting Trees & Shrubs in the Wintertime

Despite the fact that long periods of extreme cold are fairly rare in the British Isles it is still worthwhile to consider a few measures for protecting your trees and shrubs when the weather turns sour. Winter can actually be a hard time for trees, plants and shrubs and even the ones that we think of as hardy can benefit from a bit of additional protection during times of intense cold.

Obviously where trees are involved it's strong winds that can be the biggest problem and despite the fact that many trees will have shed their leaves, they can still suffer damage in windy conditions. If the weather conditions in March have been windy, and a tree on your property looks damaged or in danger of falling, it is advisable to bring in a tree surgeon to assess whether any remedial action is needed. Heavy snowfall can also lead to broken branches, so keep an eye out when these sorts of weather conditions are anticipated. Some shrubs and trees, particularly recently planted ones, might need some protection from frost and ice, and a substantial layer of mulch can help to keep the soil around their bases frost-free.

Crown Thinning March

Taking out smaller live branches located on the outer region of the tree's crown, though not adjusting the size or shape of that tree, is known as crown thinning. This procedure is done to build a uniform density of leaves, which itself accomplishes specified aims such as: to enable more light to pass through, to minimize the stress on specific limbs as a consequence of snow, ice, wind, or gravity, to stop the tree uprooting in blustery conditions, to decrease the wind resistance of the tree or to decrease the weight of the crown of the tree. A uniform foliage thickness surrounding equally spread out branches should be the arborist's goal when crown thinning, it should not change the general structure and size of the tree.

Removal of Tree Stumps March

If you are in a situation where you need to have a big tree felled and removed from your garden in March, you are likely to be stuck with a tree stump, which will also have to be tackled. You might be thinking of using the stump as a garden seat or some other useful feature, and might be perfectly happy to leave it in place until it eventually rots away. However, tree stumps can be a trip hazard, can attract undesirable pests, and be an eyesore as well.

If you decide to remove the tree stump totally, there are various ways you can accomplish this, however they fall under 2 key options stump grinding and stump removal. For the purposes of this section we will be focusing on stump removal as opposed to stump grinding.

There are basically three methods of removing a tree stump - digging out by hand, burning and chemical treatment. If you're planning to remove a stump by yourself, the use of any of these strategies could be possible. If you're hiring a tree surgeon in March, they will typically suggest the previously mentioned stump grinding solution.

Stump Digging: Digging by hand is relatively self-explanatory and will involve digging down, sawing through all the roots, and freeing up the stump. For the final lifting process you might find that you need to use some form of winch. This can be exhausting and laborious work, and should not be attempted by anyone who isn't fit and up to the job.

Chemical Stump Removers: The chemical treatment option requires the use of a powerful chemical solution like Resolva Xtra Tough Tree Stump Killer, Vitax SBK Stump Killer or Roundup Tree Stump Remover. It is vital that you follow the directions to the letter when using any of these chemical solutions, as they can be very dangerous and toxic. This should be seen as a long term solution to stump removal, because it could take several weeks or even months to rot away, subject to its dimensions. It will still have to be chopped up and removed with a spade and an axe once it has completely rotted.

Tree Stump Removal by Burning: Be very careful if you choose this method of stump removal, because stump burning can be dangerous and may be at variance with local legislation. It involves drilling several 25mm holes in the tree stump and continually filling and topping up the holes with vegetable oil over a period of several days. Charcoal or logs should then be piled around the tree stump and lit. This shouldn't ever be left to its own devices, but be monitored continually. Once it's finished burning, ensure that the fire is fully extinguished, allow it to cool off and then proceed to dig out the roots and stump ashes.

This is not the only way to burn a tree stump, and you could also try scooping out all the soil from underneath the stump and setting a fire in the cavity that's been created beneath. There are of course various scenarios where burning isn't suitable, for instance when there are fences, a building or other trees close to the stump in question.
