This is a guide as to what you can expect when a tree surgeon first visits your property. It outlines the typical steps that a tree surgeon will go through on their first visit to your home.
Initial Assessment
The Tree Surgeon will typically start by assessing the tree from all directions and will look at the overall structure of the tree and identify any signs of disease or damage. He will also take note of the proximity of the tree to buildings, fences and overhead power lines etc.
Setting Up a Safe Working Zone
For Ropework etc. the Surgeon will set up Ropes, Harnesses and where required a mobile elevated working platform (MEWP). He will then create a safe working area, defining the area within which you should not enter whilst work is in progress.

Crown reduction, dead-wooding or tree felling are all standard tasks that your local tree surgeon can carry out. Cuts are made in specific order to allow branches to fall in a controlled manner, either from the outside in or from the top down and removed as a whole.
Stump Grinding or Treatment
Chipping. The chipped wood is used to fill in the hole which has been created by the removal of the tree stump. The height of the hole depends upon local trade practice for tree surgery work.
Clearing and Leaving the Site
The brash and any pruned timber is either taken away or stacked as logs for you as required. The tree surgeon will advise on any other trees that need to be monitored and when their next inspection is.
