Emergency Tree Surgeons: What Do They Do?

If you live in England, you are aware of the unpredictable weather which sees bins, fences and even trees hurled across streets by ferocious storms. Storms are not the only reason for trees becoming a hazard; old age or even a car accident can knock trees from their usual position, too. During these occasions, trees can be tossed into areas which could be of danger to people, so it is important to remove them before they cause any harm.

What is a Tree Surgeon?

A tree surgeon is a horticultural engineer who is responsible for the maintenance and repair of trees. They are tree specialists providing a variety of services and tree work. The types of work that they perform include planting trees, cutting down trees, hedge trimming, maintenance and hazard assessments.

When Will You Need an Emergency Tree Service?

●    When a tree has come a danger or an obstruction after bad weather

●    A tree has become a danger due to old age or poor maintenance

●    A tree has become week or hazardous due to an accident

●    A fallen or falling tree is causing danger or obstruction

What Does a Tree Surgeon Do in the Event of An Emergency?

An emergency tree surgeon will arrive at the place of the emergency as soon as possible with all the necessary equipment to deal with fallen trees that have landed on buildings or are blocking roads.

These surgeons usually provide 24-hour-call-out service so that no matter what the time, they will be on hand quickly and efficiently to provide the necessary help.

Prevention Strategies

Tree surgeons will often prepare and plan for the event of a storm or an old tree becoming a possible hazard in advance, so that they are able to prevent an emergency from happening. You can help tree surgeons do this by reporting any evidence of an overhanging tree or a tree that is in your way to your local tree surgeons, who will then take the necessary precautions to prevent an emergency from occurring.

After a storm, quick action is often necessary and qualified tree surgeons will remove unstable trees or trees that could be a potential danger. Tree surgeons will also remove damaged or exposed branches after a storm has taken place.
