About Bark & Branch
Learn more about the professional tree surgeons behind Bark & Branch and why you should choose us for your tree surgery project.
What does a tree surgeon do?
A tree surgeon is a specialist who is trained in the care and maintenance of trees and shrubs. As well as being able to fully remove trees and their stumps, our tree surgeons can also help to improve the appearance of a landscape by removing dead or damaged branches, trimming trees, and providing other services related to the care of trees and vegetation.
In addition to having the proper education and certification, a tree surgeon must also be experienced in the use of safety equipment and have a deep understanding of tree biology and how trees interact with their environment. As a result, they can offer advice on the best ways to care for trees and ensure the long-term health, vitality, and safety of trees on a property.
Arborist services
Our expert Manchester arborists manage the health and welfare of your garden, trees, shrubs, and vegetation. We provide bespoke consultancy services to advise on the best way to care for your landscape, including controlling tree pests and invasive weeds.
Hiring a qualified tree surgeon in Manchester
It may be tempting to try cutting branches or felling trees yourself, but arboriculture is a skilled profession with a high level of risk and injury. Our expert tree surgeons bring more than just the physical ability to remove trees; they can diagnose issues and assess the wider ecological impact of changes to the landscape.
The specially trained tree surgeons at Bark & Branch are fully qualified under the National Proficiency Test Council (NPTC) for all aspects of arboriculture, including the use of a chainsaw (CS39), the felling and processing of small trees (CS31), and aerial rescue (CS38).
Whether it’s tree surgery and site clearance or hedge care, our work is executed to British Standards (3998:2010 and 5837:2012), earning us a reputation as one of the leading tree surgeons in Manchester.
Residential & domestic tree surgeons
Bark & Branch provide a range of domestic tree surgery services to homeowners and residential customers. This can include anything from tree felling and stump removal, to hedge trimming.
No two jobs are the same, so we always tailor our approach to suit the specific needs of each client and their landscape.
Whether you need help removing a dangerous or inconvenient tree, or simply want to make your garden look more attractive, our residential tree surgeons in Manchester can provide the expertise you need.
