Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best tree pruning times?

The best time is in periods of low energy when the trees defence is at its highest (Summer/ Winter). The worst time to prune trees is during the high energy usage (Spring/ Autumn) or bud break and leaf drop.

What are my rights and neighbours' trees?

Pruning overhanging branches, even back to the boundary, is not an offence in law. Branches remain the property of the owner and must be offered back by the neighbour.

Do you do general garden maintenance?

Yes, as part of our garden services we provide a range of work geared to assisting you with the maintenance of your garden. This can include lawn cutting to pruning shrubs to trimming hedges. Call us for more information.

What are the High Hedges Regulations?

In 2005 the High Hedges Regs. came into force as part of the Anti Social Behaviour Act 2003. Essentially the Regs. provide the Local Authority with the power to enforce an owner to lower the height of any row of evergreen trees dependent on their location with regards to the sun's path and a neighbour's position.

What are tree preservation orders?

Tree Preservation Orders or TPO's are put in place to protect specific trees from deliberate damage or destruction. If a tree has a TPO, permission is required from the local planning authority before any work can be undertaken. If a tree is dead, dying or dangerous then notification to the local planning authority with 5 days notice is required.

Can you help if I have an emergency?

We recently had a tree emergency in Harborne where a 50 foot willow tree had been struck by storm winds and crashed across a lawn and garden during the night. Lightwoods Tree Surgery was able to respond to the emergency the next morning and over two days managed to entirely cut and remove the damaged tree, much to the client's satisfaction.
