Tree Surgeons operating at usual hours.

Trees are vital to the survival of every living creature. If you don't get food from trees, you get the gift of life via oxygen, which trees give off during their production of food for themselves. All greens, be it trees or hedges take care of the plant and hence from time to time they require some care and maintenance back. If you have several trees in your front or back garden, you should check them regularly for disease and attempt to maintain their health. And if you have a bland garden and would like to have greens planted to transform the landscape to compliment your home, whilst having them maintained to a high standard then The Green Surgery has all the services you'll need.
On the other hand, if you are not sure what to do for your leafy greens, be it trees, hedges or cone bearing plants, get in touch with one of the members of the specialist team at The Green Surgery in London on 020 8138 9090 for advice and guidance. |

Three specialities in one
At The Green Surgery and across the UK (including London) the term Tree Surgeon / Tree Surgery is multifaceted. It is a term used to define the job description and skill set of a Tree Surgeon, Arborist and Lumberjack, as explained below.
A Tree Surgeon, an Arborist and a Lumberjack all work with wooded plants in some way, although their jobs are very different. As you will see from each job definition below, these professionals are related and their services often overlap. However, their individual responsibilities are not the same.
- Surgeons: plant, maintain, care for, analyse health and safety risks, and remove arbours when there isn't any life left in them.
- Arborists: Climb, trim, prune, diagnose and refer consumers to Tree Surgeons when the arbours are sick and cannot be saved by the Arborist's efforts to restore health and life. An Arborist may use equipment and tools similar to a lumberjack but doesn't do what a lumberjack does for the same reasons as the lumberjack.
- Lumberjacks: Lumberjacks spend their entire careers felling acres and acres of woods for the purpose of producing lumber for building and construction. Sometimes they may plant new arbours if they have cut down massive acres, but for the most part, they just cut down what they are told to cut down.
The 'Tree Surgeons' presented by The Green Surgery London may further specialise in certain areas. Each is designated to the best-suited job that is within their speciality with the specific tools required. A harness and a helmet, boots and lots of rope are standard equipment for "toppers". Toppers handle the most dangerous job of all; cutting off the tops of pines, cedars, maples, oak and other woods.

Services Provided by The Green Surgery
Tree doctors or surgeons do "tree surgery" that's true, but they also provide maintenance and care to ensure optimal health for all plants. Knowing and recognising when your greens might be ill or have an infestation is part of the job description and a skill that all tree surgeons must hold.
There are several services these doctors and their specialised team provide, which are noted below.

Removal Services:
- Total removal or tree removal: Ideal for unwanted trees that are either completely dead and diseased and cannot be saved or are a pest, tree surgeons recommend a complete removal.
- Stump removal: stumps may be removed by either grinding or digging them out of the soil entirely.
- Stump grinding: any remaining stump needs grinding to avoid a depression in your garden after the stump rots away.
- Wood chipping: Ideal when you fell any tall foliage-producing or cone-bearing plant so that the item felled doesn't go to waste. Chipped wood can be used in fertiliser used as bark or compost for flower beds and is effective against certain flower pests.
Maintenance and Upkeep Services include:
- Pruning: Trimming back branches and/or limbs because of several reasons, such as they can't be supported by the arbour, they are in the way, or they are diseased and need to be removed.
- Crown raising: Removal of lower limbs for the purpose of providing a clean, heightened look to the leafy tall greens and/or providing clearance for people, cars, busses etc on the ground to pass underneath.
- Hedgelaying: To produce a natural boundry hedges are planted. Hedge laying consists of bushes/shrubs or trees being closly planted. Hedges come in varying options dependents on privacy level and purpose. The hedges are shaped through cutting/trimming, as well as tying the branches to a framework or themselves for the desired effect.
- Pollarding: removal of all but the highest branches in order to get a really tall and very full crown of foliage. Pollarding may also be done to feed cattle or create a country lane up to an estate.

Cutting can be used to remove branches and limbs, partially or completely and can be split into the following services:

What does it take to become a Tree Surgeon?
The career of a Tree Surgeon is a life long career. Generally, they start off as apprentices, training and earning at the same time from an already fully licensed and insured Tree Surgeon, that is recognised by the council as qualified and highly skilled. Although others do choose to attend courses from an approved program of instruction and then go on to gain some work experience and build their skills.
The training typically requires about two years' commitment, working at about 40 hours a week. Once accredited, candidates that wish to be recognised officially hold an NPTC qualification (meaning National Proficiency Tests Council) which enhances their certification.
