Hi, I'm Curly, 'That Tree Guy'— a qualified arborist with years of experience in tree work, safety, and disputes.

I started sharing tree and hedge advice on TikTok because I kept seeing the same thing — homeowners getting caught out by laws they didn't know existed, paying fines they could have avoided, or backing down in disputes they had every right to win.

The problem isn't that the law is complicated. It's that nobody explains it clearly. So that's what I do — straight answers, plain English, no waffle.

Whether you've got a neighbour's tree hanging over your garden, a council telling you what you can and can't do with your own tree, or a hedge dispute that's been going on for months — you'll find the answers here.

All guides are written from real arborist experience and cover England & Wales.
