The safety of our staff, clients, and the public is our primary objective. Under the guidance of IOSH-trained leadership, we maintain a rigorous health and safety framework that exceeds standard requirements. In addition to our comprehensive suite of general Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), our Tree Surgeons conduct a site-specific risk assessment before any work begins.

Tree surgery is inherently high-risk, involving complex work at height and the use of heavy machinery. To mitigate these hazards, all equipment undergoes strict pre-use inspections, and every project is executed following stringent safety protocols to ensure a secure environment for everyone involved.

You will only require permission to carry out tree work in Northamptonshire or Buckinghamshire for protected or conservation area trees. We will carry out the necessary communication on your behalf to the local council and keep you updated on the progress of this communication and resulting outcomes.

Our costs are based on a variety of factors. These include the cost to run and maintain the equipment we use, any external equipment hire that may be necessary to carry out a specific job, staff costs and to cover administrative expenses. On top of this we make a profit to ensure we can run as a business. Additionally, the complexity and scope of the tree surgery project play a significant role in determining the overall cost. Tasks such as tree pruning or dead wooding may incur different expenses compared to more intricate procedures like tree removal or stump grinding. Moreover, considerations such as the size and species of the tree, its location, and potential obstacles in the vicinity are factored into our pricing structure. We are committed to providing transparent and competitive pricing, ensuring that our clients understand the breakdown of costs associated with our tree surgery services. Our goal is to deliver high-quality and professional tree care while maintaining a fair and reasonable pricing model that reflects the expertise, equipment, and effort invested in each project.

We are committed to proving a full service, which includes tree debris removal. However, if you would like to retain any wood then you can let us know at the beginning of the job. We ask this at the beginning as we bring the necessary machinery to deal with the debris. We will also provide a full clean up of the site unless told not to do so. The tree debris we will process at our local depot in Kislingbury, Northamptonshire and is mainly used for aesthtic/decorative chippings.

We would recommend regular site visits for pruning or health assessments, especially for public areas for health and safety. For areas that have important infrastructure that requires regular tree maintenance, we would advise that we assess the project and provide a more accurate schedule of maintenance once we establish the full requirements and site layout.

All our tree debris is taken away and managed on our site in Kislingbury, Northamptonshire. We also follow strict safety measure when working with our equipment and ensure the environment and eco system is protected from any spills when using fuels.

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal protection placed on specific trees or woodlands by a Local Planning Authority to help preserve trees that provide significant public amenity, environmental or visual value.

If a tree is protected by a TPO, permission is normally required before carrying out works such as crown reduction, pollarding, pruning or tree removal. However, certain exemptions may apply for essential safety works, including the removal of deadwood or dangerous branches where there is an immediate risk to public safety.

At Landcare Company Ltd, we can help guide you through the process by checking whether trees are protected and applying on your behalf with TPO applications and local authority submissions where required. Our experienced team ensures all tree works are completed professionally, safely and in accordance with current regulations.
