Trees are an essential part of any property, offering beauty, shade, and environmental benefits. However, like any living thing, they require proper care to remain healthy and safe. At NS Tree Surgery Ascot, we provide expert tree surgery services across Ascot, Berkshire, helping homeowners and businesses maintain strong, safe, and attractive trees. But when exactly should you consider tree surgery?
Signs a Tree Needs Professional Attention
1. Visible Damage or Decay
If branches are cracked, the trunk is splitting, or rot is visible, it’s time to call a professional. Damaged or decaying trees can quickly become hazardous, especially during strong winds or storms.
2. Overgrown or Low-Hanging Branches
Branches that grow too close to roofs, windows, or overhead wires can pose a risk. Similarly, low-hanging branches may block driveways or pathways, making access difficult and unsafe.
3. Excessive Shade or Poor Growth Below
If your lawn or garden plants struggle to thrive because a tree canopy is blocking sunlight, selective pruning or crown thinning may be needed. Tree surgery allows you to control light penetration without harming the tree.
4. Signs of Disease or Pests
Wilting leaves, unusual growths, fungal infections, or insect damage are red flags. Prompt intervention by tree surgeons can prevent disease from spreading and save the tree before it becomes a danger.
5. Root Problems
Roots breaking through driveways, patios, or foundations are more than an inconvenience – they can cause significant structural damage. Tree surgery, or in some cases tree removal, can help protect your property.
Preventative Benefits of Tree Surgery
Tree surgery is not only about fixing problems but also about preventing them. Regular pruning, crown reduction, and deadwood removal can:
- Reduce the risk of falling branches.
- Encourage healthier tree growth.
- Improve the overall appearance of your landscape.
- Extend the lifespan of your trees.
Why Professional Help Matters
Tree surgery involves working at height, handling heavy branches, and using specialist equipment. Attempting it yourself can be dangerous and may cause long-term damage to the tree. By relying on NS Tree Surgery Ascot, you ensure your trees receive expert care that prioritises safety, health, and aesthetics.

With professional care from NS Tree Surgery Ascot, property owners in Ascot, Berkshire can enjoy the benefits of strong, healthy trees while avoiding costly future problems.
