Trees are valuable assets, but when something goes wrong, the safest and most cost-effective approach is often to call in the experts. Below are six of the most common tree problems that are best left to trained specialists.
1. Hanging or Overextended Branches (Hazardous Limbs)
A large branch that’s cracked, overhanging a driveway, or leaning toward a roof can fail without warning, especially in high winds or heavy rain. While it may look like a simple cut, removing it incorrectly can cause the limb to swing, split, or tear bark down the trunk.
A Certified Arborist assesses weight distribution, load points, and failure risk. A professional Tree Surgeon can safely reduce or remove the limb using the correct rigging and cutting techniques, an essential part of safe Tree Surgery.
2. Storm-Damaged Trees That Become Unstable
After storms, trees can suffer hidden structural damage: internal cracks, split unions, partially uprooted root plates, or compromised trunks. The tree might still be standing, but it may no longer be safe.
This is where expert inspection matters. P And P Trees can evaluate whether the tree can be saved through corrective Tree Surgery (such as crown reduction or bracing recommendations) or whether removal is the safest option.
3. Disease, Fungal Growth, and Decline
Fungal fruiting bodies, unusual leaf drop, dieback, and discoloured foliage may indicate disease or decay, sometimes deep within the tree. Treating the wrong issue (or pruning at the wrong time) can spread infection or accelerate decline.
A Certified Arborist can identify likely causes, recommend appropriate pruning, and advise whether a tree should be monitored, treated, or removed. When necessary, a qualified Tree Surgeon can carry out targeted Tree Surgery to reduce risk and improve tree health.
4. Trees Growing Too Close to Homes, Roads, or Power Lines
Trees that have outgrown their space can create multiple hazards: rubbing branches, blocked visibility, damaged gutters, and increased risk during storms. Work near structures or utilities is particularly dangerous and often requires specialised planning and equipment.
Professional Tree Surgery helps manage growth safely through crown thinning, crown reduction or careful dismantling. P And P Trees approach these jobs with safety, precision, and the right access equipment, protecting both your property and the tree where possible.
5. Root Problems: Lifting Paths, Damaging Walls, or Blocking Drains
Roots can cause costly damage to paving, garden walls, and underground services. The challenge is that removing roots without expert guidance can destabilise the tree, making it more likely to fall.
A Certified Arborist considers the tree species, stability, and likelihood of future damage. An experienced Tree Surgeon can recommend the best course of action, whether that’s selective pruning, long-term management, or removal, using professional Tree Surgery methods.
6. Trees That Need Safe, Controlled Removal
Sometimes removal is unavoidable: the tree may be dead, dangerously leaning, structurally unsound, or in the wrong place. Cutting down a tree is rarely a simple “one-cut” task, especially in tight spaces.
P And P Trees specialise in safe dismantling, sectional removal, and controlled lowering of branches and timber. With a fully insured team and professional equipment, our Tree Surgeon experts perform complex removals efficiently, minimising risk to your home, neighbours, and surrounding landscape.
