Tree surgeons and contractors - approved list
In order to protect both the public and the trees within the borough, Walsall Council has taken every care to ensure that the contractors listed adhere to strict health and safety regulations, current industry best practice and are fully qualified and insured at October 2007 when the list was compiled (contractors will be obliged to update this information every financial year). However, Walsall Council cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage or inconvenience caused in any way whatsoever as a result of using any of the contractors listed.
The council encourages high standards of tree care within the borough and any valid complaints arising from the services of anyone named on this list should be made in writing to the:

Works to trees within a Tree Preservation Order or Conservation Area require the consent of the council. Unauthorised works can result in criminal proceedings against both the tree owner and contractor. You are advised to confirm the status of the tree with the council before carrying out any works.
Appointing a tree contractor
Before inviting contractors to provide quotations, decide what work you require to be done, including what is to be done with the rubbish, which may be the most expensive part of the tree surgery operations.
Consider obtaining more than one quotation, this will allow you to compare prices and choose the right company for your job. Remember the price may not be the governing factor in deciding which contractor to employ.
Quotations will normally be provided free of charge but if advisory work is required a fee may be charged.
When asking for an estimate, indicate when you would like the work to be carried out. The contractor will be able to advise you whether this is practical.
Do not leave it too long before accepting an estimate. If possible, let the contractor know your decision, be it acceptance or refusal, within 7-10 days.
