What is Tree Surgery?

Return to Top of Page

Tree Surgery is necessary due to our close daily proximity to trees and the risks and infringements they subsequently impose upon us. Consequently there is a balance between their care and conservation in an urban setting, and often judgment to remove and re-plant if they are inappropriate or pose a threat. Tree Surgery is the need to maintain trees in our environment for our benefit, and thorough knowledge is required of individual species and their habits, diseases and pests that influence viability and environmental issues that may impinge on the tree’s health.

In all circumstances the advice we give is based on a balanced holistic interpretation of the aims of the tree owner, the basic fundamental needs of the tree itself, health and safety, aesthetics and the impact upon the setting and the wider environment.

Tree Surgery is in many ways divergent from our aims with woodland planting and woodland management, where the tree is ruler of its own environment, and their natural forms, habits and historical management dovetail the needs of our natural environment.

A sensitive and holistic approach to tree management dictates all our working operations at Green Man Conservation.
