Find a local, reliable tree surgeon

Looking for a professional tree surgeon to handle your tree-related needs? Hiring a skilled arborist is essential for maintaining a healthy outdoor space.

What a tree surgeon can help you with

Tree surgeons are often hired when a tree grows out of control and begins to threaten the structural stability of a property. Old trees pose the risk of falling onto your home, whilst hidden tree roots can damage foundations and pipework.

As well as this, arborists offer maintenance services that keep your trees and hedges looking neat and tidy, year-round.

The main jobs tree surgeons carry out include:

  • Tree survey and report
  • Tree care, tree treatment and tree maintenance
  • Assessing hazards posed by trees
  • Tree stump grinding, crown reductions, tree pruning, tree pollarding, tree lopping, tree coppicing, and hedge removal
  • Planting trees
  • Tree removal and clearance

Whether you need a tree stump removed or are looking for a crown reduction specialist, tree surgeons are skilled at a range of tree care, tree surgery and tree removal services.

Post a job today to hire a local, reliable tree work specialist.

Factors to consider when choosing a tree surgeon

Find a tree surgeon

Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your arborists:

  1. Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
  2. Have all the necessary licenses, insurance and warranties needed to protect you and their workers
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
  4. Are offering the tree surgery services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by
  5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local tree surgeons.

Local tradespeople are more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner. Hire a tree surgeon today to help you maintain or remove the trees in your garden.

How much does it cost to hire a tree surgeon?

Illustration of a garden with a range of trees and a tree surgeon, with tree surgery labour costs labelled

How much it will cost you to remove a tree depends largely on the height, width and lean of your tree. You can expect to pay anywhere from £120 and £1,500 to fell a tree in your garden.

On the other hand, tree surgeons offer a large range of services, from crown thinning to hedge trimming and stump grinding services. Most of these services cost between £30 and £500, with Japanese Knotweed removal costing anywhere between £1,000 and £1,500.

For more information about specific tree surgery costs, read our 2023 tree surgeon cost guide, or request a free quote from a local arborist.

The qualifications your tree surgeon needs

There are no set qualifications required to become a tree surgeon. Most tree surgeons gain experience on the job and through college courses. A good tree surgeon will have a broad knowledge of the various power tools involved, as well as ropes and harnesses.

When hiring an arborist through Rated People, you can head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews. This will give you peace of mind that your tree surgeon has sufficient expertise to carry out a high quality job.

Planning permission for tree surgery jobs

You don’t need to gain permission to cut down a tree in your garden, unless:

  1. You live in a Conservation Area
  2. The tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
  3. The tree is over 5 cubic metres in volume
  4. Felling the tree will affect breeding birds

In some cases, you can still cut down a tree with a Tree Preservation Order if you apply for permission first. If permission is granted, you’ll have to plant a new tree in its place.

Tree preservation laws can be complex. If you’re ever in doubt over whether you’re allowed to fell a tree on your property, you should seek advice from your local council and the Woodland Trust information guide.

A tree surgery specialist can also assess your tree for you. Book a tree surgeon consultation today to get started.

Questions to ask before you hire a tree surgeon

It’s a good idea to ask your arborist a few questions before you hire them:

  1. Do you have public liability insurance?
  2. How many years of experience do you have?
  3. How long will the job take to complete?
  4. How much will the job cost?
  5. Do you use subcontractors? If so, are they licensed and insured?
