They are also skilled professional climbers that are efficient in working at extreme heights from ropes and ladders with chainsaws, unlike the general public. We also have advice on  how to choose a tree surgeon

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

  • Why might I need a tree surgeon instead of a gardener?

    While gardeners are skilled in general garden maintenance and landscaping, tree surgeons specialise in the care, maintenance, and removal of trees. Tree surgeons have the expertise, equipment, and qualifications to perform complex tree-related tasks, such as tree removal, pruning, and disease management, that go beyond the scope of regular gardening services. If your project involves trees, it’s best to consult a professional tree surgeon.


  • What are the key differences between a tree surgeon and an arborist?

    The terms "tree surgeon" and "arborist" are often used interchangeably, but they can denote different levels of expertise and areas of specialisation. A tree surgeon is skilled in the practical aspects of tree care, such as pruning, felling, and stump removal. An arborist, on the other hand, has a broader and deeper understanding of tree biology and health, often holding formal qualifications in arboriculture. Both roles are crucial for the health and management of trees, with arborists focusing more on tree care and conservation and tree surgeons on the physical work of maintaining trees.

  • What tree services are offered by Glasgow Trees , and do these include moving trees or removing hedges?

    Glasgow Trees offers a comprehensive range of tree services to meet both residential and commercial clients' needs. Our services include, but are not limited to, pruning, trimming, crown thinning, dead-wooding, hedge maintenance, and the removal of trees and stumps. While our content specifically mentions hedge removal, our wide range of services and expertise suggests we can accommodate various requests, including potentially moving trees. For more detailed information on all our services, we encourage you to contact us directly.

  • How much does a tree surgeon cost in Glasgow and how does it compare to UK averages?

At Glasgow Trees, we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing and aim to provide affordable and quality service tailored to our clients' needs. While we focus on delivering exceptional service in Glasgow, it's important to note that costs can vary across the UK due to regional price differences.

Our team of experienced and certified tree surgeons and arborists employs state-of-the-art equipment to efficiently handle stump removal tasks of any scale, ensuring your property is left clean and hazard-free.

  • How do tree surgeons in Glasgow handle tree waste?

    Our professional team at Glasgow Trees utilises wood chipping and other disposal methods to manage waste effectively. This approach allows us to recycle the off-cuts and unwanted bits into materials that can be used for other purposes, aligning with our commitment to environmental sustainability.

Qualifications such as certifications from reputable arboricultural associations can indicate a high level of expertise and commitment to safety and quality. At Glasgow Trees, all our tree surgeons and arborists are fully qualified and insured, ensuring they meet the highest standards of professionalism and expertise.

  • Why is tree surgery considered a valuable service, and what factors contribute to its cost?

    Tree surgery is considered a valuable service due to its critical role in maintaining the health, safety, and aesthetic appeal of trees within our environments. Factors contributing to the cost include the complexity of the task, the risk involved, the equipment required, and the expertise of the tree surgeons. Professional tree surgery ensures that trees remain a beneficial and safe part of our landscapes, contributing to their value.

  • Can I cut down a tree in my garden without permission in Scotland, and how does this process differ from the UK?

    In Scotland, similar to the rest of the UK, whether you can cut down a tree in your garden without official permission depends on several key factors. These include the tree's size and species, its conservation status, and whether it's located within a designated conservation area or subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).


    In Scotland, TPOs are administered by local councils to protect specific trees, groups of trees, or woodlands that provide significant amenity benefits to the local area. If a tree is subject to a TPO or located within a conservation area, you must apply for permission from your local council before proceeding with any works, including cutting down or even pruning the tree. Failure to comply can lead to severe penalties, including fines.


    The main difference between Scotland and other parts of the UK is the specific local regulations that may apply. For example, some councils might have more stringent rules based on local environmental policies or historical significance of the trees.


    To ensure compliance:


    • Always check with your local council's planning department to confirm whether any TPOs or local regulations apply to your tree.
    • Consider consulting a professional tree surgeon or arborist, as they can provide expert advice and manage the application process for necessary permissions.
    • Document the condition and location of the tree in question, as this information will be crucial for your application.
