Tree Surgeons in Tadley
Overview
Tadley grew up in and around woodland, and the town still has more mature trees in its streets and gardens than most places its size. Oaks left standing when the estates were built, pines and birches on the common, and sixty years of garden planting that has now reached full height. Overhanging branches, crown lifts and the removal of a conifer that has outgrown its garden are the everyday jobs. Some Tadley streets have Tree Preservation Orders on individual trees, so ask a tree surgeon to check with the council before booking a felling.
Before you book a tree surgeon
Tree work is dangerous and, in a conservation area, regulated. Both halves are worth asking about.
Are they qualified and insured for the height?
Chainsaw and climbing certificates from NPTC or Lantra, and public liability insurance that actually covers tree work, which not every trade policy does. The Arboricultural Association approves contractors who have shown both.
Is the tree protected?
A tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs the council's consent before work starts, and one in a conservation area needs six weeks' notice to the council first. The fine for skipping that step is the owner's. A good tree surgeon will check for you, and knows which villages here are conservation areas.
Where does the wood go?
Taking timber and chippings away needs a waste carrier registration, the same as for a gardener. Or ask them to leave the logs, since seasoned firewood is worth having.
