Yes. We have always done this. This way the clients know exactly what we will be doing and what the cost will be.
Yes. We have good working knowledge of planning with regard to trees. We deal with local planning authorities on a regular basis.
Yes. Our applications are professionally produced-they are typed and include colour photography where needed. If we are employed to carry out the tree works granted, we will waive any fee for the application. If you just want to use us to apply to the council on your behalf and not to carry out the tree works, we would also be happy to do this but this will be chargeable work.
Yes. We have a duty to make sure that our work does not adversely impact on the environment or wildlife. In most cases this would not be a concern and it’s unlikely this would hinder tree work operations.
Yes. Where needed, we place clean boarding on lawns and plastic sheeting over shrub beds to protect them.
Yes. This is a very important part of our work-we can guarantee to leave your garden as we found it.
Yes. We can. By looking at what you have applied for and what the reasons for refusal were. We examine the case, and using our experience along with further negotiation, we will work hard to help you with the desired works. This sometimes would result in the appeal process. This can be on a no win no fee basis.
Yes. Even removing dead branches from a tree will allow more light to penetrate through a tree’s crown but in most cases reduction and thinning can be the best way to achieve this.
Yes. There are many different types of tree work operations that can improve views. Reducing the tree or crown raising can be very effective ways of achieving this. Even if trees are protected works are often allowed with the correct application.
Yes. Whatever needs to be done, we will try our best to do it- without you having to worry about it.
Yes. This is called “photographic interpretation”. It’s something that we have been doing for several years and it shows our customers exactly what to expect from our quote. This prevents any ambiguity about the details of the works.
