A tree should come down when it's dead, dying or structurally unsound. Same if it's causing damage that pruning can't sort out. Size alone isn't a reason. We're seeing plenty of ash dieback around the Sherwood Forest fringe. Infected ash goes brittle quickly. Best to deal with it before the October and November gales hit. We dismantle in sections from the top and stick to strict safety procedures. Before we start we always check for TPOs and conservation areas, as fines can reach £20,000. Want firewood? At Nottingham Tree Surgeons we'll cut the timber into 30 cm logs for you. Not sure about a tree? We'll come and have a look for free, no obligation.

Yes, we can do a plot with several trees as one job. First thing, before a single tree comes down, we check for TPOs and conservation area rules. Round Wollaton and Sherwood that matters. Fines can hit £20,000. After that we fell in a sensible order. Stumps get ground out. The brash goes through the chipper so there's nothing left lying about. Want the wood? We'll cut it into 30 cm sections for firewood, and whatever's left gets recycled or repurposed. You don't pay till it's done as agreed. Got a plot that needs clearing anywhere from Beeston to Arnold? Give Nottingham Tree Surgeons a shout and we'll come and have a look for free, no obligation.

Is it worth getting your trees checked before winter? Yes. The October and November gales are on the way. Loads of Nottingham sits on sandstone where the root plates are shallow, so a big lime or oak with a heavy crown can be more at risk than it looks. A sensible crown reduction or thinning takes weight out of the canopy. Lets the wind through too. Keep an eye out for dead branches or splits. Fungus at the base. Any new lean. Before we start any job at Nottingham Tree Surgeons we always check whether the tree's protected. Not sure about one? Happy to pop round and give it a free inspection, no obligation.

Thinning crown is usually the first thing you'll spot with ash dieback. Twig tips die off while the rest of the tree's still in leaf. Check the bark too. Dark diamond shaped marks where the side branches join the trunk are a giveaway. So are clumps of new shoots coming out low down. We're seeing a lot of it round the Sherwood Forest fringe right now. Infected ash goes brittle. Autumn gales are on the way. A dead limb hanging over a road is a real risk, same if it's over a path or your roof. Not sure about yours? Nottingham Tree Surgeons will come out anywhere in Nottingham and take a look. Free inspection. No obligation.

Can I cut back the big oak in my garden? Not always. If it's got a Tree Preservation Order on it, or it's in a conservation area, touching it without permission can land you a fine of up to £20,000. That's real money. Nottingham has over 10,000 protected trees. Loads of them sit in conservation areas round Wollaton and Sherwood. At Nottingham Tree Surgeons we check if a tree's protected before anyone picks up a saw, so you don't get caught out. Not sure about yours? We'll come and have a look. Free inspection, no obligation.

Want to know if an arborist is properly trained? Watch what they check before they quote. A good one asks if your tree's under a TPO or sits in a conservation area. That matters. There are over 10,000 protected trees round here and the fines go up to £20,000. They'll show you their liability insurance, no fuss. They'll talk you through how they're going to work safely. And they won't ask for a penny until the job's done the way you agreed. We've worked like that at Nottingham Tree Surgeons for over 20 years. Worried about a tree before the autumn gales hit? We'll come out and have a look for free. No obligation.

Yes, get it checked before the October and November gales if there's root rot or the root plate is lifting. You can't judge root problems properly from the ground. Much of the city also sits on sandstone, which keeps root plates shallow. So a weakened tree can go over with hardly any warning. A crown reduction sometimes takes enough weight off. Sometimes felling is the safer call. At Nottingham Tree Surgeons we'll also check whether the tree's protected. Fines can hit £20,000. If something doesn't look right, give us a shout and we'll come out for a free inspection, no obligation.

If a tree's come down in the wind, leave it. Don't start cutting it up yourself. A fallen trunk can be under a lot of tension. It can spring back with no warning at all.

Every autumn after the gales we find mature oaks and limes that have lifted out of the ground. Round here the roots sit shallow over the sandstone, so the whole root plate tips. That leaves trees half down and leaning. They need careful handling.

Nottingham Tree Surgeons clear windblown trees safely. We carry all the liability insurance you need. Want to keep the wood? We'll cut it into 30 cm rounds for the fire. If the tree might be protected, we check that before we start.

Not sure what's safe? We'll come out and look. The inspection is free and you're under no obligation.

Can a tree that close to the house or the power lines come down safely? Yes, usually. Just rarely in one piece. Near buildings and cables we take it down in sections and lower each bit on ropes instead of letting it drop. Overhead lines? Nobody goes near them till that risk's been properly sorted. October gales are on the way. Got a tree that's leaning, or one with ash dieback? Get it looked at now. We're Nottingham Tree Surgeons, over 20 years working across Nottingham and fully insured. We check for TPOs before anything gets cut. Happy to come out for a free look, no obligation.

Yes, a crown reduction can make a big mature tree safer going into winter. We take weight off the ends of the limbs and thin the crown out. Then the wind goes through it. It doesn't catch it like a sail. October and November gales are on the way, so now's the time to get the old trees looked at around West Bridgford and Mapperley Park. Oaks mostly. Limes too, plus a fair few horse chestnuts. Lots of them have TPOs. We always check that first. Nottingham Tree Surgeons has been at this over 20 years, and you don't pay a penny until the job's done as agreed. Happy to pop round for a free look, no obligation.
