Trees play an important role in the overall health of our environment. Not only do they provide food and homes for wildlife, but they also play a part in reducing pollution and improving the air that we breathe. They are also capable of regulating microclimates. Their roots can help to prevent erosion and landslides and they can even reduce flooding. Overall they more than deliver when it comes to making the world a more beautiful place.

However, just as with anything that is alive, they can get sick, host insects, disease, get aged and suffer when bad weather takes its toll. In some cases, they may weaken to the point where the only viable action is for you to call in a professional company to remove them. When that tree has gone, it leaves a negative impact on both your property and the environment.
The answer to this is clear. It’s time to plant another tree. If you remove one tree, then plant another; the balance will be restored. Unless there is a good reason not to, ideally you’d plant the same type of tree. Most often that type of tree is indigenous to the region and it has the best chance to thrive.
If you’ve decided not to put the same type of tree back in that spot, then your tree surgeon will be able to suggest a suitable alternative. They can also provide you with advice on how to care for it.
Ideally you will plant the new tree a few feet away from where the one you removed was. Ensure that it has enough nutrients for it to flourish and enough water to grow.
There are many communities in the UK, who run programs to replace trees that have been removed. This is to ensure that the environment is kept intact.
