Tree surgeons in Oxford: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home in Oxford, it’s your responsibility to maintain the trees within your property boundary. But before you go ahead with any major work, make sure to check:

• Is the tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
• Is your property in a conservation area?
• Are there any planning restrictions on your land?

You’ll need to get permission from Oxford City Council if any of the above apply. Your tree surgeon can help you check or apply for the relevant approval.

Renters

If you rent and spot a problem tree - overhanging branches, a leaning trunk, or signs of rot - contact your landlord or letting agent. It’s their responsibility to handle maintenance and ensure the space is safe. If you’re in a flat or shared property, contact the managing agent or housing association.

Landlords

As a landlord, you’re responsible for tree maintenance on your property. That includes keeping trees healthy, managing hazards and securing any necessary permissions. Hiring a qualified tree surgeon ensures you stay compliant and protect your tenants.

Emergency tree surgeons in Oxford
