When is the best time of year for hedge pruning in Cobham?

Most hedges are pruned through the growing season once the main flush of growth is done. We always check for nesting birds during nesting season and hold off where needed, as we must by law.

Can you reduce a tree instead of removing it?

Often, yes. A crown reduction, thin or deadwood removal can solve the problem without losing the tree. We will tell you if that is the better option for you and the tree.

What is deadwood removal and does my tree need it?

Deadwood removal means taking out dead, dying or broken branches before they fall on their own. It is worth doing if your tree overhangs a path, drive, patio or the road.

Do you grind the stump as well as removing the tree?

Yes. We grind stumps below ground level so the area is ready to replant, turf or pave over. Stump grinding is normally quoted as a separate item so you can decide.

Will you clear away all the waste?

We clear the site thoroughly and take the waste away, unless you would like logs or chip left for you. [CONFIRM: is green waste removal always included in the quote or charged separately?]

Are you insured to work near my house and power lines?

Yes. We carry £10 million public liability cover and plan every job carefully around your home. [CONFIRM: do we carry out work near live power lines or is that referred to the network operator?]

What does a tree surgeon in Cobham actually do for you?

Most Cobham jobs start with a specific problem: a hedge that has outgrown its space, a tree too close to the house, branches over a neighbour's garden or the road, storm damage, or a garden that has lost its light. We look at the tree first and recommend the lightest work that solves the problem.

Jucinei Luiz, our NPTC City & Guilds qualified arboricultural specialist, leads the team with over 10 years' experience. You get a straight opinion on what your tree or hedge actually needs. These are our tree surgery services in full.

Do you need permission to prune a tree in Cobham?

Parts of Cobham and the surrounding Elmbridge area sit in conservation areas, and individual trees can carry a Tree Preservation Order. This affects what work is allowed, and notice or consent may be needed before starting.

We can advise on what your tree is likely to need and work with you on the paperwork side. [CONFIRM: do we submit TPO and conservation area applications to the council on the customer's behalf, or advise only?]
