A good tree surgeon will be qualified, properly trained, and highly experienced. That's how you know their work will be of the highest standard. They will also have the right equipment and be fully trained in how to use it safely and effectively.

An arborist, tree surgeon, or (less commonly) arboriculturist, is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants in dendrology and horticulture.

Tree surgeons work in towns and the countryside, assessing tree health, removing branches, planting new stock and felling unsafe trees.
