Maintaining your trees

How to find a reputable tree contractor. Who to contact before working on your trees.

You are responsible for maintaining trees on your property. This includes if you live in council housing. 

We do not offer any council tree pruning or tree surgery services.

You can check the Arboricultural Association list of approved professionals to find a reputable tree contractor.

Council tenants

You must contact your resident service officer for approval before you work on your trees.

Private homeowners

Before you work on a tree on your property check if it is protected, for example if it:

  • has tree preservation order (TPO)
  • is in a conservation area
