What’s Included in a Tree Surgery Service? (Tailored for Norfolk Homeowners)

Tree surgery involves much more than simply cutting branches. It’s a specialised field requiring knowledge of tree biology, safety protocols and the right equipment. If you’re a homeowner in Norwich or the surrounding Norfolk area wondering what’s actually included in a professional tree surgery service, this guide from AM Ground Maintenance will clarify exactly what you can expect.

As experienced tree surgeons, we provide a wide range of services designed to keep your trees healthy, safe, and well-managed. Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically involved.

Tree Inspections and Advice

Every job starts with a thorough inspection. We assess the tree’s condition, structure, health, and surroundings to determine the best course of action. In Norfolk, this often includes checking for signs of storm damage, decay, pest infestations, or whether the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a Conservation Area. If either applies, permission from the local authority may be required before any work can be carried out.

Crown Reduction and Reshaping

This involves reducing the size of the tree’s canopy to improve light penetration, balance the shape and reduce wind resistance. It’s especially useful for trees that are growing too close to buildings or power lines, a common concern in suburban areas of Norwich.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting removes the lower branches of a tree to increase clearance for vehicles, pedestrians, or buildings. It’s an effective way to tidy up your outdoor space without removing the tree altogether.

Deadwood Removal

Dead or dying branches are carefully removed to prevent them falling unexpectedly. This is one of the most important safety aspects of tree surgery, especially in gardens where children or pets play.

Tree Felling and Dismantling

If a tree is dead, diseased, or poses a risk to your property, we may recommend complete removal. Where space is limited, we carefully dismantle the tree in sections to minimise disruption to your garden.

Stump Grinding

After a tree is removed, the stump can be ground down below the surface to prevent regrowth and make space usable again. This is especially useful for lawns or areas you want to replant or pave.

Site Clearance and Waste Removal

All debris is removed and the area is left tidy. Logs can be left for firewood at your request, or everything can be taken away - it's entirely up to you.

Ongoing Maintenance and Tree Surgery Care Plans

For homeowners with larger gardens or multiple trees, we can put together an ongoing maintenance plan. This ensures your trees remain safe, healthy and well-shaped throughout the year. Find out more about our services here.
