Great Wakering tree reduction: timing is everything

There are particular times of year when tree reduction should be avoided.

Trees must not be pruned during the bird nesting season. This runs from February through to August. We will always check for nesting birds outside of this time, as is not uncommon to find nesting birds outside of this period.

During late spring to early winter, most trees are in their active growing period. Pruning during this time is not advisable as growing trees bleed sap when they are cut. This attracts bugs and diseases.

These rules only apply to non-emergency tree reduction work. If your tree needs urgent care due to disease or pest infestation however, or there are loose branches posing a risk, then we will be able to proceed, albeit with care.

For more in-depth information on the best times to prune the different species of trees, you are welcome to please consult our news and tree ID pages, or contact us for tailored  advice.

Finally, any tree that is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) will subject to limits on the level of tree reduction allowed. Permission will be required from the local authority and this can take up to eight weeks to be granted. Always check the TPO register if you believe your tree may be protected, or if you live in a conservation area.
