Tree surgeons in Birmingham: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home in Birmingham (whether in Harborne, Moseley, Kings Heath or elsewhere), you’re responsible for tree maintenance on your property. But before you start, check:

• Is the tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
• Is your property in a conservation area?
• Are there landscaping or planting clauses in your deeds?

If yes to any of the above, you’ll need permission from your local council before undertaking work. Cutting down a protected tree without consent may result in fines.

Renters

If you’re renting in Birmingham, perhaps in a flat or terrace, and notice a problem tree (overhang,damaged limb, risk of collapse), your landlord or letting agent should be notified. In shared or communal gardens, the building manager or housing association typically handles tree maintenance and checks.

Landlords

As a landlord in Birmingham, you’re responsible for keeping trees safe on the properties you manage. That means addressing deadwood, overhanging branches or unstable trees, securing permissions as needed, and engaging a checked tree surgeon rather than leaving the job to chance.

Emergency tree surgeons in Birmingham

When you need help fast, look for an emergency tree surgeon. Urgent situations include:

• Trees down after a storm or high winds
• Large limbs hanging or threatening to fall
• Trees blocking access, roads or driveways

Don’t wait. Search for emergency tree services in Birmingham and get in touch with someone who can act quickly and keep you safe.
