FORESTRY OPERATIONS TREE SURGERY and TREE CARE
Established in 1984, we provide trained and experienced arborists (tree surgeons) to work on your trees, shrubs and hedges. Covered by £5 million insurance, our staff deal with trees large or small. We undertake all types of tree work, from planting to final felling, and from pruning a shrub to looking after a mature oak.
We care for trees throughout Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire.
Once we've received your call, we'll survey the trees and site, noting your requirements, and ensuring that any special problems are allowed for. Then we'll send you a written quotation.
When you've given us the go-ahead, we'll take care of everything else – consents, liaison with utilities, highways, etc. Then we'll agree a date with you, and that's when we'll do the work.
Our professional, safety and environmental credentials make us a good choice for your tree work.
Tree Surgery – why?
The landscape we live in has been managed for thousand of years, and the trees which are so important visually, and environmentally, are no exception. In an increasingly crowded and safety-conscious world, trees may need the attentions of a arborist to prolong their life, while making sure they are safe.
The many factors affecting tree growth, and the infinite number of situations where trees grow, demand a knowledge, not only of the technical skills to do the work, but how a tree is likely to react to the proposed work.
Anyone can get the basic technical skills in 2 weeks, but acquiring the knowledge and experience to work sensitively on trees takes much longer.
FORESTRY OPERATIONS TREE SURGERY and TREE CARE has not only the skills, but also the experience to look forward, and consider the long-term when working on your trees.
