Large trees near house query

Large trees near house

Hi, I'm considering buying a house that has several large mature trees in the garden.  I'm no expert but I think the three in the front are a chestnut, a holm oak and a copper beech - the latter 2 are within 5m of the property.  At the end of the back garden there's what looks like a multi stemmed scots pine. Could anyone give me some advice? -  My concerns are whether they are likely to cause damage to the property ( I know insurance may be more) and how much and how frequent maintenance w

A Climbing Arborist Valentin From Slovenia Introduction

Greetings to all here For the last 11 years, I have been living in Maribor, which is the 2nd largest city in Slovenia country in Europe. Despite currently being 50 years old I decided to develop myself as an arborist. In my younger years, our family loved to mountaineer. After my father started our family business my job was computer-related related and I kept my balance by regular visits to the woods. In the year 2000, I decided to become a freelancer, focused on creative graphic &

New career

Glad I didn't listen.

Small update on my career change.   I never know if anyone cares but here I am... So if you remember i popped a post up weeks ago asking for advice on getting in to the industry, the comment section turned in to a total sh#t show of    'Don't do it' 'Its not for women' 'you're to weak' 'Don't need women on site' Etc etc   But anyway, didnt put me off.   I've booked on for my cs30 in 2 weeks' time (sooner that orginally planned) and

I joined a month ago now, & not had a single call or msg. Does it usually take some time before someone would make contact, or is it that there are too many established tip sites in my area? Any advice welcome.

Lawson cypress query

Lawson cypress top out?

Hi, we have just moved to a new property which has 23 trees with TPO, we have come from small garden so no experience with them. Visit from tree surgeon says either remove or take 4 meters off the 20 Lawson Cypress trees as they are very small girth trunks, very spindly and some have U shape trunks. I have tried to read up on them and everything says that it won’t cause them to strengthen. Before I apply for permission, would value opinions?   Also, any ideas what causes this on hedge

Husqvarna Chainsaws - to XP or not to XP?

On a recent thread in the forum the question of why would you not buy the XP version of a Husqvarna saw was raised. The obvious answer is price, but price isn't everything, and so here I try and delve into the differences in the saws, and see whether, at least on paper, the budget saw versions make any sense.   What is an XP saw?   Husqvarna offers 2 saws (at least) at each CC size, the 'regular saw, and the XP version. XP stands for Extra Power, and at a basic level offers j

5 Tips for progressing your arb career after 30...

The UK arb community is a pretty small and specialist group. We really don’t have enough people coming into the industry, let alone moving through it, into the more technical, off the tools roles. We’ve been working in the recruitment side of the tree world for nearly 20 years and have seen a fair amount of change in that time.   What do you think of the following tips? We’d love to know and hear your perspective.   1) Have respect for yourself and your fellow arborists. Hol

Tree waste for animals

Tree surgeon waste for zoo animals

I don't know if this post is allowed, but I am hoping to reach out to local tree surgeons in London. Our animals at London Zoo goes through a lot of browse (a zoo term for leafy branches) all year round. It is getting harder and harder to obtain good quality material and logistics are always a challenge. I know that tree surgeons always have challenges getting rid of their waste. If you are interested in collaborating, perhaps we can help each other out? Due to a complex mix of plant t
