What we do...
Every tree is unique, from the species and its various characteristics to the site it grows on and all the surroundings associated with it. Deciding what work is necessary, if at all, is a process that takes into consideration many factors. Trackers will visit every site to view the tree and discuss your requirements to help you decide what the best course of action is.
Sometimes the necessary actions are clear, for example, Trackers were called out to remove this branch after heavy winds, it was overhanging a summer house and the work was carried out immediately, removing the branch to make the tree safe.
Other times it may be necessary to liaise with the local council to discuss work on trees when they are situated in Conservation Areas or have Tree Preservation Orders on them. Before work commences the owner of the tree and/or the arborist should carry out a check to establish this, if work is carried out to trees in Conservation areas or with TPOs on them without permission from the council a heavy fine can be applied to both parties. Trees are often protected around development sites or if they contribute something to the environment, for example, visually screening an industrial unit or for specific wildlife needs.
