Need advice on who to get advice from....

Hello fellow arborists!

 

So I have a problem and I don't know who can fix it... This forum seems the best place to find out!

 

My friend has inherited a farm through his family, a very big one! It's absolutely gorgeous and the land begins in Lewes near Brighton. As gorgeous as it may be agriculturally it needs a lot of TLC (Tender Loving Care).

 

This subject takes my interest so i'm excited to help although I do not have enough experience or knowledge on everything that needs sorting! For example:

The tree's need a serious inspection I have no idea of the possible diseases etc they could have so any tree surgeon contractor/ tree pruning type of service would be great, its a big job he has a lot of trees..

 

Also Tree stump removal.. Sure there are many companies that do this and yet again its a big job he has/had a lot of trees, is there any companies that you guys are aware of around these areas?

A personal recommendation would be fantastic. I have heard Dave Ford Tree Care in surrey? Also Geall Tree Surgery but I haven't had any personal recommendations from them, and we want a reliable company.

 

There are many more things that we need to fix, but that is all on the agricultural side, to another forum I will go!

 

Thanks in advance

 

why not go to one of the big land agents like Bell Ingram/ Strutt and Parker/ Knight Frank? They have plenty people that could advise you.

 

Why do you want to remove tree stumps? Could you not just leave them to rot? Unless they are in a garden or I had to build something over them I personally would leave them. Or if I really wanted them gone I would get a JCB in.

I have had a recommendation of these guys from a friend but they are in surrey: Commercial Grounds Maintenance & Tree Care Contractor Services UK

 

 

 

I think I will look at country tree thank you its worth a go. Have you worked with them before then?

 

 

 

thanks

If its a farm thats going to run like a farm then best get a farmer. He will then sort any tree problems with a Jcb Loadal a boiler suit and a big Dolmar chainsaw.
