What is Tree Surgery?

Tree surgery is one of the most dangerous occupations in the UK. With so many companies around now that offer tree surgery and tree services at a variety of prices and standards, it is hard to know who to trust when it comes to managing, caring for and safely removing your trees. M.Large have the experience, skills and specialised equipment to cover all aspects of the work from ‘enquiry to completion’.

Northern Ireland Tree surgery experience

M Large Tree Services Ltd was founded in 1970 by its Managing Director, Michael Large. and is now one of the longest established and most reputable tree surgery and tree work companies in the UK. The company has a highly successful track record in providing tree surgery and in providing Arboricultural Consultancy to many of the commercial, local authority and governmental clients in Northern Ireland. A core part of working on such large scale contracts and requirements is the need for extensive insurances to protect workers, the public and the site. As such the company takes its  responsibilities seriously and maintains around £20 million in insurance cover for when it might be needed.

Tree felling legislation

To ensure that tree felling is carried out for the right reasons, it is subject to two main pieces of legislation which act as a control and check on most tree felling operations. Northern Ireland Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are used by the local Borough or District Council to safeguard landscape and amenity. They can be applied to woodlands as well as to single trees or groups of trees. They can cover trees of any size. Permission must be sought to carry out any type work on the trees. Even building work near protected trees which may cause a significant impact on their health will need permission. To find out whether particular trees or woodlands are protected by a Tree Preservation Order contact your local Northern Ireland Tree Officer. More details on TPOs can be found in the government publication Protected Trees: A Guide to Tree Preservation Procedures.
