Tree surgery and Tree Care

If you have (lots of) trees in your garden, they will require specialist care. You need someone who knows what they are doing and has knowledge of different types of trees, how to potentially register, upkeep them, and keep them healthy. Trees can be dangerous if not cared for right as they might blow over or branches could break off and hurt someone! So having a gardener with specific knowledge of trees can be an excellent addition.
