Planning tree surgery can feel like a big job, especially if you’ve never had professional tree work carried out before. Whether you’re having a tree reduced, removed or pruned, knowing what to expect can make the whole process much easier.

At Tip Top Tree Services, we aim to make every job as straightforward and organised as possible, from arriving on site to leaving your garden clean and tidy. Here’s what happens on the day of your tree surgery and how we approach each stage of the work.

1. Arriving at Your Property and Preparing for the Work

On the day of your scheduled tree surgery, our team arrives ready to carry out the agreed work. Before getting started, we’ll make sure we’re at the correct property and confirm the work we’re there to complete.

We’ll also take a look at the surrounding area, including access routes, garden features, nearby buildings and anything else that needs to be considered before work begins.

Good preparation helps us organise the job properly and identify anything that needs extra attention.

2. Carrying Out a Site Safety Assessment

Safety is an important part of every tree surgery job. Before starting work, we’ll assess the site and consider any potential hazards that could affect our team, your property or anyone nearby.

Depending on the job, this may include:

• Checking for overhead power lines and nearby buildings.
• Identifying potential hazards, including dead or unstable branches.
• Assessing access for machinery and equipment.
• Considering the weather and ground conditions.
• Establishing a safe working area around the tree.

Where necessary, we’ll put appropriate safety measures in place to help protect everyone involved and the surrounding property.

3. Setting Up Equipment and Getting Started

Once the site has been assessed and the working area is prepared, we’ll set up the equipment needed for the job.

The equipment we use depends on the type and size of the tree work. This may include chainsaws, climbing equipment, ropes, wood chippers and other specialist machinery.

For tree pruning or crown reductions, our team will work carefully to remove the agreed branches and achieve the required shape and finish.

For tree removals, we’ll plan how to dismantle the tree safely, taking into account its size, position and the space available.

Every tree is different, so the approach will depend on the individual job.

4. Carrying Out the Tree Surgery

With everything in place, the main work can begin.

Our tree surgeons will carry out the agreed work using the appropriate techniques and equipment. This could involve removing dead or damaged branches, reducing the crown, reshaping the tree or dismantling it in sections where removal is required.

Throughout the job, we’ll work with care and attention to the surrounding area, including fences, sheds, buildings, lawns and neighbouring gardens.

Our aim is to complete the work to the agreed specification while maintaining a safe and organised working environment.

5. Managing Branches, Logs and Tree Waste

Tree surgery can produce a considerable amount of branches, timber and other green waste. Managing this material is an important part of the job.

Depending on the work agreed, branches may be fed through a wood chipper, while larger sections of timber may be cut into manageable logs.

We can discuss your preferences for suitable timber and other materials before the work starts. Any waste included in our agreed service will be collected and dealt with appropriately.

This helps keep the working area organised and makes the final clean-up easier.

6. Cleaning Up and Checking the Finished Work

Once the tree surgery is complete, we’ll tidy the working area and remove the waste covered by the agreed job.

We’ll check the area for leftover branches and debris, and make sure the site has been left in a suitable condition.

We’ll also check the finished tree work against the agreed requirements, so you can see what has been completed.

We understand that your garden is part of your home, so leaving the area neat and tidy is an important part of the service.

7. A Final Look at the Completed Job

Before wrapping up, we’ll make sure the work has been completed and that the working area is clear.

If you’re available, we’ll be happy to talk you through the work carried out and answer any questions you may have.

Whether you’ve had a tree pruned, reduced or removed, we want you to feel confident about the finished result and understand what has been done.
