Quick answer

What does a tree surgeon do, and do you need permission to fell a tree?

A tree surgeon fells, prunes and dismantles trees, grinds stumps and manages hedges, typically £300–£1,500. Permission is the first question, not the last: a tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs council consent, and any tree in a conservation area needs six weeks’ written notice. Felling without either is a criminal offence carrying an unlimited fine.

Tree Surgeon workmanship in Yeovil

Tree Surgeon terms explained — Yeovil glossary

Tree Preservation Order(TPO)
A council order making it an offence to cut down, top, lop or uproot a protected tree without written consent. TPOs are searchable through the local authority, and they run with the land — inheriting the tree means inheriting the order.
Conservation Area Notice(Section 211)
The six weeks’ written notice required before working on any tree above a modest size in a conservation area, even without a TPO. The council may respond by serving a TPO, so the notice period is real rather than a formality.
BS 3998
The British Standard for tree work, which sets out acceptable pruning practice. It is why a competent arborist will refuse to "top" a mature tree — the practice is outside the standard and leaves weak regrowth on a decaying stub.
Nesting Bird Season(Nesting season)
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is an offence to damage or destroy an active nest. Broadly March to August, which constrains hedge and tree work and is a legal duty on you as well as the contractor.
