-
What happens if I’m in a conservation area?Any and all tree work in a conservation area will have to be applied for, it’s best to check before hand if you are in a conservation area, accept if the tree is dead, dying, dangerous or diseased, then you don’t require permission. Check with your local counsel.
-
Can I cut back my neighbours tree branches that are overhanging into my garden?Yes, you can. Legally you absolutely can, but it is always beneficial to have a chat and let your neighbour know of your intentions as trees can be a touchy subject!
-
Can I cut my hedges during bird nesting season?The answer is yes, if, we inspect the hedge before hand to ensure there are no birds nests inside. If we do find one, it is against the law to disrupt or disturb so the job will have to wait until the season is over. The season usually runs from March - August so preferably get in touch before spring, or after Summer if you think you have nesting birds.
