Have you ever tried trimming a tree yourself? It might seem straightforward—until you find yourself balancing on a wobbly ladder, clutching a saw in one hand and a stubborn branch in the other, wondering what went wrong. Tree care isn’t just a bit of light pruning—it requires proper skill, precision, and a fair amount of patience. Rather than risking your weekend (and your wellbeing), why not leave it to the professionals at Original Tree Surgeons?

Safety Comes First

Tree work can be dangerous, especially when it involves scaling tall trees, handling chainsaws, or removing heavy limbs. Without the correct tools, training, and experience, accidents can happen in an instant. At Original Tree Surgeons, we’re fully equipped to handle these risks with care and caution. Whether it’s dismantling a tree near power lines or removing a precariously hanging branch over your shed, we use specialist techniques to carry out the work safely and efficiently—always putting your safety first.

Expert Knowledge of Tree Health

Just like any other living organism, trees can fall victim to disease or damage—and often the early warning signs go unnoticed by the untrained eye. Our qualified tree surgeons can spot issues such as fungal infections, pest infestations, or root decay before they escalate. We’ll assess the health of your trees and advise whether treatment or removal is the best course of action to protect your garden and property.

Long-Term Savings

It might be tempting to tackle the job yourself or go for the cheapest option, but poor tree work often ends up costing more in the long run. Incorrect pruning can weaken a tree, making it vulnerable to storm damage. And improper removal can leave hazardous stumps or roots behind. Hiring a certified professional means the job gets done properly the first time—saving you money, stress, and possible future damage.

Staying Compliant with Local Regulations

Tree surgery often involves navigating local laws—particularly around protected trees and conservation areas. In many parts of London and the surrounding counties, Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) can limit what you’re allowed to cut or remove.

Our team is fully up to date with local regulations and ensures all work is carried out legally and responsibly. If a tree needs to be felled, we’ll also handle any required permissions and paperwork, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Professional Equipment & Full Clean-Up

Tree work isn’t a job for household tools. Our team uses professional-grade equipment—from harnesses and chainsaws to wood chippers and stump grinders—to get the job done safely and efficiently. Attempting to hire and use this kit yourself can be both costly and risky.

But it’s not just about the job—we also take care of the clean-up. All debris is removed and your garden left spotless, so you can enjoy your space without the mess.
