FAQs – Knowing When to Call a Tree Surgeon
1. Can I spot tree hazards myself?
You can identify obvious signs like dead branches or leaning, but a professional assessment is safest.
2. Do leaning trees always need removal?
Not always — some can be stabilised with careful pruning and support.
3. What if my tree has mushrooms or fungi?
Fungi may indicate decay — book a professional inspection to assess the risk.
4. Is dense foliage bad for trees?
Overly dense crowns can trap moisture and block airflow, increasing disease risk.
5. Can damaged roots recover?
Minor damage can heal, but severe root loss often compromises stability.
6. Should I remove dead branches immediately?
Yes, to prevent accidents and further damage to the tree.
7. Do you provide emergency callouts?
Yes, our team can attend urgent situations across South Wales 24/7.
