Just like the name implies, a tree surgeon is someone who is capable of practicing arboriculture labor with the precision and attention of a doctor. Those people who do such activities know exactly how to cultivate and manage trees, shrubs, vines and other perennial woody plants. If you live in Frome or the surrounding areas, you have the ability to choose from a large number of individual tree surgeons and companies that have several qualified arborists working for the firm. Whether you have a larger landscaping project in mind or need a small tree to be cut because it is getting dangerously close to electricity cables, you should always know how to choose the right man to do the job. This article will give you advice on how tree surgeons in Frome and Chippenham should be picked and includes information on the requirements they should meet.

Research first!
This first piece of advice goes for any type of service you are looking to contract. In our opinion, one of the worst things you can do is give money to the first company you hear about. Research will bring you the type of information you need to choose someone who will get the job done fast, efficiently and at affordable costs. Start looking for the right company by asking all of your friends who have relied on the help of tree surgeons in the past and see if they have received excellent service from one of the firms in your city. Additionally, you can look through the Yellow Pages and see what you can find under “tree work”. The same can be done with the help of the web page Yell.com, a browser which will offer you data and reviews about tree surgeons in the area where you live. After you have managed to gather a little information about, let say, 10 firms start looking them up on the internet. If you want to find out whether or not a company has disappointed its previous clients go to Google, type in the name of the company and add “complaints” next to it to see if something comes up.

Go for experience!
There are many reasons why people hire tree surgeons, but usually the specialists are called when a tree is cutting out too much light, when it's outgrowing the are in which it has been planted causing damage to the objects around it, when it is loosing branches or it is leaning too much and it has become a hazard for everyone who passes by it. Because this activity is very hard and quite dangerous, it is essential that you choose a surgeon that has significant experience in the field of tree work. When you are doing your research online write down how many years of work each company has and cross out those which have been around for a short period of time.

Certificates, accreditation and proper authorizations are important!
If you want to pick a company which has fully qualified workers, pick one that can provide proof of all legal documents needed to practice such activity. Any procedure which a tree surgeon performs should be done according to British Standards Recommendation for tree work (BS3998). Also, if the company prides itself with top service, it will own a high public liability insurance which should be of a few million pounds. In addition, those employees who will be operating heavy machinery and chainsaws and those whose activity includes climbing should have certificates. You should also make sure that the people you are about to trust with your money know exactly what advice and information to give you about Tree Preservation Orders and Conservation Areas. Make sure that if such paperwork is needed, the firm you choose will be able to provide permission for work on trees which are indeed protected.
