Our Tree Surgery Qualifications

At Lovelandtreecare Tree Services we promise complete peace of mind, and this is backed up by our raft of official tree surgery qualifications.

All our tree surgeons are qualified to N.P.T.C. and LANTRA standards. These are the industry’s standard certifications. They provide proof that a tree surgeon has reached a minimum standard of proficiency.

It is important to ensure your tree surgery expert possesses the qualifications relevant to the work they are carrying out on your behalf. Bear in mind that not all tree care companies will have ALL the right certificates and that this could lead to insurance-related issues for you.

The regulations we adhere to include PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998); LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998); PPE (Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992); the Work at Height Regulations 2005; the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health); the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. We also follow the Arboriculture and Forestry Advisory Group (AFAG) guidelines for tree surgery work.

We have £5 million liability insurance and completely unblemished health and safety record.

Tree Pruning

Different trees and different circumstances call for different types of tree pruning. If you are unsure as to the service you need, you can leave it to us to provide expert guidance.

Some trees, for example, have naturally thick, dense canopies and it can be a great help to the tree to have its crown thinned so as to allow more light and air to penetrate. This boosts the tree’s health and overall appearance, not to mention can be beneficial to the surroundings.

Other trees grow naturally tall, some to several hundred metres, and can benefit from regular crown lifting or pollarding so that they don’t pose a hazard to their surroundings. This type of pruning is particularly useful for trees situated on roadsides and close to overhead cables.

Trees such as fruit-bearing trees like the apple, plum or pear tree, need to be pruned in such a way that they develop a very strong branch system to support the heavy fruit.

Sometimes you may want your tree to be maintained at a certain height or spread so that it continues to fit its space perfectly.

 Our tree ID pages should also prove useful if you want to learn more about your particular species of tree.

Tree Care

Our tree care services include deadwood removal which is vital to ensure the health and safety of your tree. Deadwood forms as a natural part of the tree’s growth cycle, but it can also be a sign of disease or decay. If you ask us to attend to remove deadwood from your tree then we will also inspect the tree to ensure there are no symptoms of disease or pest infestation that need to be dealt with. If there are, then we will advise you accordingly.

If you are worried that your tree may be diseased or infested with pests, our article covering the topic of common tree diseases should prove useful. If you spot something that you don’t like the look of, don’t waste any time in taking action. The sooner you have it dealt with, the better the chance of your tree making a full recovery.

Tree Surgery and Tree Preservation Orders

It is important to be aware that trees of notable interest are likely to be protected by a Tree Preservation Order(TPO). This means that the level of pruning allowed will be restricted and you will need to obtain permission to undertake works. The arboriculture department of your local authority will be able to help you check the TPO register so that you are in possession of the facts before you go ahead with any work. If it transpires that you do need permission then your application may take up to eight weeks to be approved.

If your tree is situated in a conservation area then special permission will be required before proceeding.

 We are more than happy to offer our service to you and help in any way we can. quickly and efficiently. skill and reliability – and our affordable rates.
