FAQ
Are you a qualified tree surgeon with insurance?
Yes, we are fully qualified and accredited arborists in Blackburn operating across the Northwest. All work is carried out in accordance with the current British Standard 3998: Recommendations for tree work, 2015. We have a combined experience of over 15 years in the industry.

How much does tree removal cost?
Every job we do is unique, as such, we are unable to provide a standard cost. That’s why we offer free tree work estimates across the Northwest. You can send us a photo of the work via our contact form or WhatsApp chat below. Please include your postcode in the chat. Alternatively, we can arrange a free site visit to assess the work and provide a free quote.
Do you need access to my home or business?
Not necessarily, if we can access the area for work without entering the premises you will not need to be there. However, if the tree work requires us to enter the premises, then someone must be available to allow access.
Will my neighbour’s be disturbed?
If branches overhang your neighbouring property, we may need to access their property too. As such, it is always advisable to inform your neighbours the work is being carried out.
What do you need to know before tree work begins?
When you are having any sort of tree work, be it removal, planting, transplanting, or stump grinding we need to know about underground utilities. We must have this mapped out before work commences to avoid any risks.
Can I get an estimate for tree work over the phone?
Sometimes, we can provide an estimate for tree work over the phone. It helps us to have a visual of the work to provide a more accurate estimate. You can send us photographs of the work you require via our contact form or WhatsApp chat.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
If the tree falls under a TPO then it is likely that you will require a permit for the works. We can help you apply for the right permission to complete the work. Speak to our friendly team today!
What is a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal safeguard for trees with significant amenity value. Issued by local planning authorities, TPOs prevent unauthorised activities like cutting, topping, or damage to protected trees. Property owners must obtain permission before undertaking any work on such trees. Violating a TPO can lead to legal consequences and fines, emphasising the need for responsible tree management and conservation efforts. Our team of arborists in Blackburn can help you apply for the permission required for your project anywhere in the Northwest.
Will I be left with a tree stump?
When removing a tree, we will take it down to ground level as much as possible. The stump removal is an additional service which is an additional cost. If you would like us to remove the stump as well, please ask us for a quote for our stump grinding services.
What happens to the green waste, branches, leaves etc?
Unless you specifically request for the green waste to be left, we will process this waste for you. All the green waste is recycled and used for alternative energy sources such as biomass fuels and firewood.
How do I report a dangerous or falling tree?
If the tree is on your land call our team immediately! We offer an emergency response service for dangerous and storm-damaged trees. If the tree is on public land, contact your local council as soon as possible.
