Tree surgeons in Liverpool: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home in Liverpool (maybe in Mossley Hill, Wavertree or Garston) you’re responsible for tree maintenance. But before you proceed:

• Is the tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
• Is the tree in a conservation area?
• Are there landscaping conditions on your title deeds?

If yes, you’ll need permission from your local council. Removing or working on a protected tree without approval can lead to fines.

Renters

If you rent property in Liverpool and spot a risk - overhanging branches, rot, or an unstable tree - your landlord or letting agent needs to deal with it. In flats or shared accommodation, you may need to contact the building manager or housing association.

Landlords

As a landlord in Liverpool you’re responsible for safe tree maintenance on properties you rent out. That involves making sure trees don’t pose a hazard, obtaining necessary permissions and hiring qualified tree surgeons when needed.
