How to Prepare for Your Tree Surgeon Service

A few simple steps to ensure you get the best experience:

1Check if your tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) — this requires planning permission before work
2Clear the work area of garden furniture, trampolines, and vehicles
3Inform neighbours if the work affects trees near boundaries
4Note any underground services (cables, pipes) near the tree

What to Expect

Here is what happens when you book tree surgeon through GeraHome:

Equipment

Tips for Getting the Best Tree Surgeon Service

Check for Tree Preservation Orders before any work — illegal removal carries unlimited fines

The best time for most pruning is late winter (dormancy) before spring growth

Stump grinding prevents regrowth and removes trip hazards

Keep receipts — some tree work is allowable against capital gains for rental properties
