We have experience in working with all types of trees and a wide range of property including; private homeowners, landlords, businesses, schools and many other organisations. We realise that no tree will have exactly the same needs so we always offer an inspection and suggest a treatment specific to the requirements of that tree so you can be sure you are receiving the best possible care and treatment.
One question we are regularly asked is whether all trees need regularly pruning, the answer to this question depends completely on what type of tree you have. While some trees require regular attention, some may need no work at all; all trees are unique and some are completely dependent on being maintained regularly whereas others can grow and develop without the need for consistent tree maintenance. This is why it is very helpful to get advice on which trees you are likely to have and how often the tree may require tree maintenance from an expert in Nottingham.
While not all trees require regular pruning, they can all greatly benefit from occasional attention in terms of trimming them. Any tree branches that are dead, damaged or infected by disease should be pruned; these can lead to further damage, potential to fall, and further illness throughout the tree; so removing them would mean you get much stronger and healthier branches throughout your tree, and also means the tree may not need as much attention again at a future point.
Pruning a tree is an extremely beneficial part of tree care in terms of improving its shape and overall look. Trees often grow in unnatural shapes due to the way they are growing, and some may develop unusual branches, or ones that overlap and cross one another, this will not only affect the look of your tree but it will also influence where its energy needs to focus. Trimming the branches would encourage it to become the most beautiful it possibly can while also keeping the trees natural appearance in place; and this is something we always strive for when dealing with tree care.
Pruning can also have other positive impacts; trees that are heavily overgrown may also have large canopies which could block sunlight out to your lawn or garden, and which would result in your lawn/garden becoming unhealthy and will prevent them from growing. Taking off some of these overgrown branches would mean more sunlight reaches your garden and allows your plants to become healthier. This also means there would be a greater flow of air through your tree which keeps it healthy.
Young trees will benefit most from early pruning, as this allows us to guide the tree through growth with a strong structure which may mean less problems later down the line and a stronger, more even and attractive looking tree. If the tree has minimal problems as a young tree, it may not need much more care at a future date.
Mature trees will still benefit from attention, although for mature trees it is often the shape, condition and structure of the tree that we need to consider. The parts we need to consider dealing with will have to be carefully considered before treatment is carried out on that area. We use very selective pruning to keep mature trees healthy without removing more of the tree than we have to.
Trees should also not be heavily pruned, as the trees need the leaves to generate energy and therefore if you take too much of your tree away, you can be certain that this would impact it more negatively and be hard work for the tree to recover from. Also, poorly pruned trees can have the added effect of promoting disease and this is where using a trusted professional at Nottingham Tree Surgeons can be beneficial as we will know what is and what is not beneficial for your tree and what would be considered a risk in future treatments for your tree, and always protect your trees' health.
The time of year you can prune depends on the individual tree; some trees may respond well when pruned during specific times of the year while some can be cared for throughout. Different types of trees will require different treatments to do so and this is why advice should be gained from professionals, at Nottingham Tree Surgeons we are certain that you will be able to help your tree as we will determine what is best for that tree individually to carry out that work, with many different trees requiring trees to be pruned differently to ensure optimum benefit.
Even if a tree looks healthy you may want to arrange for inspections as this way you will be able to tackle a problem before it even grows to be a problem which would require more time and care to be taken with that specific tree, or which would mean more attention is required at a later date to that certain area, tree, or part of the tree as opposed to the rest of the tree itself. We have made sure that each and every tree that comes to our team would have professional inspections if deemed necessary in order to tackle potential dangers such as disease, pests, disease etc.
At the earliest possibility, ensuring less work and more care in the future.
We aim to provide the best tree care possible and there is not one specific schedule that will benefit every single tree that we treat, all of the trees that we treat have different conditions and ages, however, a portion of them can go as long as three years or as short as three months until they need to be visited, but this is totally dependent on the tree's individual conditions. Nottingham Tree Surgeons are happy to give honest advice which would aid the owner of the tree and their home, to make the right choice for their specific tree.
Safety is key when selecting the team for tending to your tree; although trees can make a great addition to any property they can also be extremely hazardous when they have branches that are becoming unsafe or that are likely to fall. Weather conditions, natural conditions, disease and pests can all affect a tree; but using Nottingham Tree Surgeons will allow you to reduce the chances of any harm being caused by your tree.
The service is carried out by experienced professionals. Each tree care specialist we employ has extensive knowledge of arboriculture and is passionate about protecting trees. Each job is carried out to the highest standards and we ensure that all of our work will always result in customer satisfaction.
