 Tree surgery in Wellington is critical for homeowners and businesses alike, as a good tree surgeon ensures peace of mind every time. As an experienced arborist, I make sure you get the results you need through careful discussion and exploration of your requirements whenever I conduct a site visit. 

The result: A great, reliable experience. 

Tree surgeons provide a range of services, ranging from simple felling to complex tree pruning in confined spaces. I also manage overgrown hedges, such as leylandii and western red cedar, so you can bring more light into your space.

Tree pruning is usually for fruit trees and other small trees. Here I improve the look of the tree by removing branches, reducing the size of it and helping you reduce the number of leaves and amount of fruit generated. 

In some cases, trees need to be heavily pruned, in a process called pollarding. Here I reduce the tree down to a few branches so that it grows a large number of smaller branches from the stubs. This reduces its size and therefore the risk the tree poses while also promoting growth. Councils often do this to keep the size of their roadside and pedestrian area trees consistent. 

Crown reductions involve reducing the edges of the tree so that its overall size is smaller. This might be because it’s interfering with the side of a house, a telephone line or just to make it smaller to reduce risk. It’s common to combine this with thinning, which is where a few larger branches are removed so that more light comes through the tree.

Felling is the complete removal of a tree down to the stump. In some cases, I can simply chop the tree from the bottom, but in others, especially where there is limited space, I will use ropes and pulleys to carefully guide the tree pieces down. While this is slower, it ensures peace of mind and a safe operation, especially when other buildings and obstacles are present. 

Hedging can become overgrown, especially species such as leylandii and thuja (western red cedar). What started as a 6-foot hedge suddenly grows to a 30-foot monster. A combination of climbing, trimming and chipping can bring a wild hedge back under control, helping you manage your property more effectively.

Safe, effective tree surgery in Wellington makes a substantial different. By reducing or removing trees that are disruptive, I help reduce stress and keep your property safe, especially as storms become more and more damaging. Similarly, I help you get the most out of your property by promoting better trees, reducing light obstructions and reducing the work needed in autumn due to leaves and fruitfall. 

An experienced tree surgeon makes the process easy. 

A typical cost for a trained and insured tree surgeon is between £350 and £500 per person, per day. This varies widely, however, as it depends on their actual skillset, the equipment they have and their overall costs. It will usually cost extra for cranes and cherry pickers, if they are needed. 

Some choose to save money by skimping on insurance and training. That’s why you should always ask:

• What qualifications do they have (City & Guilds or LANTRA)
• What insurance they carry (at least £5 million public liability, explicitly covering tree surgery)
• 
  

When they show up, they should be wearing PPE, including chainsaw boots and chainsaw trousers, as well as hearing protection.
