  • 🌳 Knowing when to call a tree surgeon is crucial to ensure the health, safety, and aesthetics of your outdoor space. Consider the following signs that indicate you may need professional tree care:

    🏡 Property Encroachment:
    If your tree or hedge is encroaching on your neighbour's property or growing into electrical wiring, it can cause serious damage or power outages.

    Dealing with neighbour’s tree and hedge encroachment requires understanding your legal rights and available options in Scotland. To help you navigate this issue, we have prepared a comprehensive guide on handling neighbour disputes and encroaching greenery. Explore our article to learn more about the steps you can take to protect your property and find a resolution.

    ☀️ Sunlight Blockage:
    Trees or hedges blocking sunlight can hinder the growth of other plants in your garden that require ample sunlight to thrive.

    🏢 Structural Concerns:
    If a tree is growing too close to your property, the roots can intrude on your home's foundations, leading to a dangerous situation called subsidence. Subsidence can cause structural damage as the ground beneath your property sinks.

    🍂 Disease, Decay, or Rot:
    Signs of disease, decay, or rot in your trees or hedges indicate the need for professional intervention. Ignoring these issues can lead to catastrophic tree failure, posing risks of falling limbs or the entire tree, potentially causing injury or significant property damage.

    ☝️ Don't underestimate the importance of addressing these tree-related concerns promptly. By hiring a professional tree surgeon, you can secure your peace of mind and protect your property from potential hazards.

    📞 If you're experiencing any of these issues or have further questions, contact us for expert advice and assistance tailored to your specific tree care needs.
