Frequently asked questions
about Tree surveys and surgery
At Hereford Tree Surveys, we provide clear and professional tree surveys to customers throughout Hereford, Leominster, and Herefordshire to support planning applications, safety checks and land management decisions. Our reports are designed to help customers understand the condition, value and possible risks linked to trees on a site. This can be useful for private gardens, commercial land, council work and development projects.
Our tree risk assessments look at the safety and condition of your trees. We check for signs of decay, disease, weak structure, poor stability and other hazards that could affect people, property or nearby land. After the assessment, we provide clear advice on the best next steps, which may include monitoring, pruning, treatment, or removal.
Yes. We offer tree health inspections to identify early signs of pests, disease, decay, damage, or weakness. Spotting problems early can help protect the tree, reduce safety risks and prevent more serious issues from developing. Where suitable, we may recommend targeted treatment, preventative care, or ongoing monitoring.
We carry out crown reduction and crown thinning to manage the size, shape and structure of trees. This type of work can reduce weight, lower wind resistance, improve light levels and help reduce storm damage risk. We aim to keep the tree looking natural while supporting its long-term health and safety.
Yes. We offer stump grinding to remove unwanted stumps from gardens, grounds and outdoor areas. Stumps can be a trip hazard, take up useful space and make landscaping harder. Grinding the stump below ground level helps leave the area clear and ready for replanting, turfing, landscaping, or other use.
We can help with tree planting, including advice on species choice, position and aftercare. Choosing the right tree for the right place is important, as it affects future growth, safety and the long-term look of the space. Our aim is to help new trees establish well and thrive over time.
Yes. Our team provides hedge cutting and hedge maintenance to keep boundaries neat, healthy and well-shaped. More frequent hedge care is a great way to improve privacy, control the growth, and keep gardens or grounds looking tidy. We tailor the work to suit your hedge type and the result you want to achieve.
Deadwood removal is the careful removal of dead, dying, or weak branches from a tree. This helps reduce the risk of falling branches, improves the tree’s appearance and can support the overall health of the tree. It is a useful service when branches are over paths, gardens, driveways, buildings, or public areas.
We aim to work safely, efficiently and with respect for your property. Where tree removal, felling, pruning, or stump grinding is carried out, we work to minimise disruption and leave the surrounding area clear and tidy once the job is complete.
Yes. We can support larger sites with tree surveys, inspections, risk assessments, tree surgery and related tree care work. This can help landowners, developers, councils and commercial customers make informed decisions while meeting safety, planning and environmental needs.
Yes. We provide detailed tree inspections that can support insurance, planning and local authority requirements. We assess tree condition, health and risks, then give clear information to help you make the right decision.
We offer tree pruning and shaping to improve safety, health and appearance. We remove unwanted branches, support balanced growth and help reduce overcrowding, while keeping the tree’s long-term health in mind.
Yes. We work in Hereford, Leominster, Herefordshire, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Bromyard, Kington and Credenhill. We help both domestic and commercial customers with tree surveys, tree surgery and removal.
Our tree surgeons can reduce storm damage risk through careful pruning, crown reduction and crown thinning. These services can lessen weight and wind resistance, while improving the tree’s structure and keeping it looking natural.
Yes. We can advise on trees that may be protected by planning rules or local authority controls. We can help you understand what may be needed before work starts, so the job is handled correctly and responsibly.
