Tree surgeon website design that sets up the quote visit

Your pages, the features on them, the final price and the timescale, in writing before you pay a deposit. Hosting, care and any ongoing SEO are listed separately, so you can see what is one-off and what is monthly. On the Business package the first year of hosting and care is included.

By asking the local planning authority, usually the council, which is why your website should say you check before you quote. A tree preservation order can protect a tree in every UK nation, each under its own law: the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in England and Wales, the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. In England the planning guidance says the council should make each confirmed order available to inspect and record it in the local land charges register. Anyone can apply for consent to work on a protected tree, and in England the applicant is usually the owner or a contractor acting for them, so the site can offer to send the application.

Yes, unless an exception applies. In England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland alike, work on a conservation area tree with no preservation order needs notice to the planning authority first, and can then go ahead with its consent, or after six weeks and within two years of the notice. In England no notice is needed for a tree 75 millimetres across or less, measured over the bark 1.5 metres above the ground, or 100 millimetres when it is felled to help other trees grow; in the other nations, check the threshold with the council. England's planning guidance says that working without notice, or causing or permitting it, is an offence.

Not usually, though each nation words it differently. In England and Wales the Forestry Act 1967 exempts trees in a garden, orchard, churchyard or public open space, and topping, lopping and hedge trimming; outside those places, a licence from the Forestry Commission in England or Natural Resources Wales is generally needed once felling passes 5 cubic metres in a calendar quarter, or more than 2 cubic metres of it is sold. Northern Ireland's Forestry Act 2010 exempts garden trees and licenses felling only on land of 0.2 hectares or more. Scotland's 2019 exemptions cover a garden tree felled by the landowner, or by an occupier with the owner's written permission; ask Scottish Forestry about anything else. In England the Forestry Commission says contractors share the duty to check permissions before work starts, and a preservation order or conservation area still applies to a garden tree.

Yes, provided no nest in use is taken, damaged or destroyed: the laws protect nests and name no season. In England and Wales the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it an offence to intentionally take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built. In Scotland the same Act, as amended there, says intentionally or recklessly and also covers interfering with a nest or stopping a bird from using it, and Northern Ireland's Wildlife Order 1985 also says intentionally or recklessly and covers stopping a bird from using its nest. In England and Wales it is a separate offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb a bird listed in Schedule 1 of the 1981 Act while it is building a nest or is at a nest with eggs or young. The Forestry Commission's guidance for England says it "is not always illegal to fell during the bird nesting season" but that "precautions must be taken by law". Your site should say you look for nests before every job and rebook when you find one in use.

The rules ask for specific things, and the website can show each of them. In Great Britain, HSE's approved code of practice says anyone using a chainsaw on or in a tree should first have had appropriate training and hold a relevant certificate of competence or national competence award, unless they are training under supervision, and HSE says chainsaw operators must by law have adequate training. In England, a business that transports waste, including the waste its own work produces, must register with the Environment Agency, and the registration appears on a public register; Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland register carriers through NRW, SEPA and DAERA. In England a felling licence, where one is needed, is applied for by someone with an interest in the land and covers that felling, not the firm. List each climber's certificates and your carrier registration on the site.

What you do and who you call, presented as HSE guidance rather than law. HSE's guidance for Great Britain, GS6, says to assume a line is live until its owner confirms it is dead, and to manage the risks for work within 10 metres, measured at ground level from below the nearest wire. Its tree work pages say to get advice from the line's owner, usually the network operator, before working that close; the operator may switch the line off or arrange a specialist utility contractor. A service page can say which jobs near lines you take on, and that you speak to the operator first.
