Tree advice

Most property owners with gardens will probably require tree advice.

Two widely used sources are:

• The Arboricultural Association which is the professional body that represents the industry.
• Tree officers employed by the local authority

In addition, there are numerous websites that provide tree advice.

However, speaking to those who have had practical experience may be more beneficial. Advice is available on when is the best time to prune trees, how the work should be done and what sensible costs might be.
