What do tree surgeon services include?

Our relationship with trees should be a two-way street. From providing habitat for wildlife to preventing floods, trees help us in a myriad of ways. But at the same time, they won’t be able to give us our needs if they’re diseased.


Good news is you don’t need to worry about it on your own. For urgent tree issues, there are tree surgeons you can hire in Airtasker. These Taskers can do the dirty work, handle risky processes, and climb great heights. The tree size, condition, species and location help the expert come up with the right solution—may it be pruning, lopping, or pollarding, among others.


Trust an expert in tree maintenance near you. Check out these services:


Tree felling and removal

Is your tree sick, dead, or unsafe? If you’ve checked any of the boxes, your Tasker might solve the problem by felling. The process involves cutting the trees down to prevent diseases from spreading to surrounding trees, moreover boosting safety in the area. Some clients also request tree felling for aesthetic purposes.


Meanwhile, tree removal means the roots, stumps, fallen branches, and the entire tree get removed.


Felling or removing a tree can carry danger and would need involving specialised equipment. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult a knowledgeable tree surgeon for this. For extra peace of mind, you can also book an arborist to work side-by-side with your tree surgeon, as they are trained to diagnose trees and recommend safe solutions.


Tree pruning, cutting, lopping or trimming

If diseased or dead wood is present, the tree surgeon will need to remove them, which is what pruning is about. It also boosts the growth of fruit and flower buds.


Meanwhile, tree lopping or trimming effectively modifies a tree’s shape. Your Tasker accomplishes this through cutting branches and training them to grow in a specific direction. It is often focused on aesthetics. If this is not properly maintained, branches can become unwieldy, growing in various directions.


The specialist may also do crown thinning on a tree—or removing select branches to increase light penetration and reduce crown weight. 


All in all, pruning, lopping, and cutting stimulate and control growth in trees.


  • Stump removal

Stump removal may demand a specialised stump grinding machine, which can completely destroy the tree’s stump and root system. Although it sounds difficult, your tree surgeon can grind down and remove unsightly or bulky stumps efficiently.


  • Tree pollarding

Have you ever seen those “lollipop trees”? They are the result of pollarding, thanks to the purpose of visual allure.


Aside from that, tree pollarding keeps a tree from outgrowing its bounds on a private landscape. It also minimises chances of trees encroaching electrical wires. Whether placed in streets, parks, or small spaces, trees can be compact. Once you pollard a tree, you’ll have to repeat the process every year or two throughout the tree’s life. This means you may need constant landscaping or gardening maintenance.
