FAQs
What does a tree surgeon do?
A tree surgeon, often known as an arborist, carries out a wide range of tree care and maintenance tasks.
At PB Forestry and Landscaping, our tree care specialists deliver professional, safe, and tailored arborist services nationwide. You might see our skilled tree surgeons performing tasks such as tree pruning, crown reduction, tree felling, stump grinding, and diagnosing or treating tree diseases. Whether it’s done by hand with tools or carried out with equipment for mechanical tree surgery, we’ll get the job done.
Our line of work also extends to managing tree-related risks in the public sector near buildings, roads, or utility lines, and providing emergency tree surgery after storms or accidents.
When should I hire a tree surgeon?
You should consider hiring a tree surgeon when:
- Tree branches are overhanging buildings or power lines.
- A tree looks diseased, dying, or structurally unsound.
- You notice signs of pest infestation or decay.
- A tree has been damaged by storms or high winds.
- You need trees removed, reduced in size, or shaped for aesthetic or safety reasons.
- You require professional tree maintenance for commercial or residential land.
Is tree surgery regulated in the UK?
Tree surgery is a regulated profession, requiring qualified tree surgeons to typically hold NPTC (City & Guilds) certifications in areas such as chainsaw operation, climbing, and aerial rescue.
Our team members are properly trained, insured, and compliant with UK arboriculture regulations, while our contractors are ISO accredited.
How much does tree surgery cost?
The cost of tree surgery depends on several factors:
- Size and species of the tree.
- Accessibility of the location.
- Type of work required (e.g., tree pruning, tree felling, stump grinding).
- Whether specialist equipment or traffic management is needed.
- Emergency or out-of-hours service requirements.
For a general idea, smaller jobs may start from £150, while larger or more complex work can sometimes be over £2,000, so it’s important for us to assess exactly what we’re working with before promising a price.

Can I perform tree surgery myself?
We do not recommend that untrained arborists carry our tree surgery. It’s an extremely risky task that should be left in the hands of professionals.
There’s also a legal aspect of tree surgery to consider as certain trees may be protected under Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or lie within conservation areas, requiring council permission. Hiring professional arborists like us ensures your trees are cared for properly, safely, and legally while reducing your liability.
