Why You Might Need A Tree Surgeon This Spring

It’s easy to look out of the window and identify a tree in your garden that you think might need some kind of care and attention.

But what you may not know is exactly what that tree needs, how to care for a tree of that age and species, and what the best time of year is for targeted tree work in your garden.

Essex tree surgeons are trained to spot signs of weak or aging trees and deal with them effectively, handle unruly and potentially hazardous branches safely, and prune your trees so that they match your ideal aesthetic with incredible ease. All of this while respecting the limitations of the nesting and breeding bird season, with an eye to the need for surveys and a respect for protection orders.

Keep reading for more information what a tree surgeon does and why now is the time to book a consultation with your local tree specialist.

What Does A Tree Surgeon Do?

A tree surgeon is specially trained to undertake complex tree work, which is not only often done at height, but which uses dangerous tools and machinery to remove branches, tidy up canopies, and sometimes even fell trees which are becoming a hazard within their surroundings.

Tree surgery requires an understanding of what trees need at different times of year, and how different species require different levels of maintenance. Essex tree surgeons offer a range of services which span practical support with advice for homeowners and property managers, so that the trees in an outside space can be adequately and safely cared for.

Why Bringing In A Tree Surgeon Is Better Than Doing It Yourself

Short of the insight and understanding needed to conduct this level of specialist work, perhaps the biggest benefit of bringing in a tree surgeon is their access to both industry leading equipment and comprehensive training. Work which is done at height and using complex machinery can be incredibly dangerous – with tree surgeons trained to handle these workplace circumstances, including knowledge of what to do when something goes wrong.
They are also attuned to the different species of tree and how birds nest and use trees at different times of the year, knowing when pruning can and cannot be done and the signs that a tree is home to wildlife ahead of felling or extensive crown work.

Tree Work For Spring – What Exactly Needs Doing?

So, with spring just a few short weeks away, what’s going on in the world of tree care and tree surgery?

Well, it’s at this time of the year that some trees are ready for a more extensive prune as they no longer need access to their winter reserves. Pruning them in the early spring can help to prepare them for a good growing season in the summer and can also benefit the plants which sit under the tree by exposing them to more sunlight through a reduction in the canopy overhead.
