Trees are a valuable part of our landscape. In Dorset and surrounding areas, they offer shade, cleaner air, and natural beauty to homes, commercial sites, and rural land. But just like any living asset, trees require proper care to grow safely and remain strong. This is where professional tree surgeons play a vital role.
At Ross Giles Tree Surgery, our skilled and qualified arborists provide expert solutions to keep trees healthy, reduce hazards, and protect your property all year round.
✅ What Does a Tree Surgeon Do?
A professional tree surgeon covers a complete range of services, including:
- Tree removal (safe dismantling in restricted areas)
- Crown reduction and shaping
- Tree pruning and maintenance
- Stump grinding and removal
- Hedge cutting and trimming
- Emergency tree work
- Tree health assessment and disease control
Each service ensures your trees look great, remain safe, and add value to your landscape.
🌳 Why Tree Maintenance Is Important
Neglected trees can become dangerous. Issues like decay, storm damage, and uncontrolled growth pose risks that may not be visible to property owners.
Here’s why routine maintenance matters:
- ✅ Reduces the risk of falling branches
- ✅ Prevents structural damage to roofs, fencing, and power lines
- ✅ Enhances sunlight exposure and garden space
- ✅ Promotes healthy growth and long lifespan
- ✅ Ensures compliance with local tree preservation rules
Keeping trees in good health also improves the appearance and value of your home.
⚠️ The Dangers of DIY Tree Cutting
Many homeowners are tempted to cut a tree themselves — but it’s one of the most hazardous outdoor tasks.
Risks include:
- Serious personal injury due to falling branches or chainsaw accidents
- Damage to vehicles, roofs, and garden structures
- Causing trees to fall the wrong way
- Failure to spot disease or internal decay
Tree surgery requires specialist equipment, training, climbing skills, and insurance.
Hiring experts ensures the job is handled safely and professionally.
🌿 Signs Your Tree Needs Professional Attention
Not sure whether a tree is safe or healthy? Look out for:
- Mushrooms or fungus growth on the trunk
- Dead or dropping branches
- Cracks, splits, or cavities in the wood
- Leaning heavily to one side
- Sparse or discoloured leaves
- Holes caused by pests
- Large branches overhanging roofs or roads
If you spot any of these, get a qualified arborist to inspect before the issue becomes dangerous.
