What is the best time of year to prune trees?

The best time of year to prune trees depends on the species and the purpose of the pruning. In general, winter and early spring are good times to prune deciduous trees, while summer is often better for some conifers and light maintenance work.

Is deadwood bad for my tree?

Deadwood is a natural part of a tree's life cycle, but excessive or unstable deadwood can become a safety risk if branches fall unexpectedly. In low-risk areas, some deadwood can be retained for wildlife, but trees near homes, roads, gardens or public spaces should be assessed.

Do you work during bird nesting season?

Yes, but all work is carried out with care and appropriate checks. If active nests are present, work may need to be delayed or adjusted to protect nesting birds.

Are you qualified and insured?

Yes, Rogers & Cork Tree Care are fully qualified and insured, with public liability cover in place for professional tree surgery work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover Leicester and surrounding areas across Leicestershire, including Hinckley, Loughborough, Oadby, Wigston, Blaby, Coalville and Melton Mowbray.

Do I need permission to remove a tree?

Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders or are located in conservation areas. If you are unsure, checks should be made with the local council before tree removal or major pruning work begins.

How much does tree surgery cost?

The cost of tree surgery depends on the size of the tree, access, waste removal, equipment required and the complexity of the work. A clear quote is provided before any work starts.

Can you work in bad weather?

Light rain does not always stop tree work, but high winds, storms or unsafe conditions may mean the job needs to be rescheduled, especially for climbing, dismantling or felling work.

Will the tree grow back after removal?

If a tree is fully removed and the stump is ground out or treated, it should not regrow. If the stump is left in place, some species may send up new shoots.
