Effective Spraying & Poisoning
Unwanted trees and invasive growth can quickly overtake a garden or block future plans for landscaping. At John’s Tree Lopping in Newcastle, we provide safe and effective tree poisoning solutions designed to stop regrowth at the root. This service is particularly useful for trees that are unsuitable for removal due to access issues, environmental risks, or cost considerations. Our methods are applied with precision to minimise impact on surrounding plants while ensuring the target tree or weed is treated thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is tree poisoning a better option than physical removal?
Tree poisoning is often chosen when physical removal isn’t practical, such as on steep slopes, near fragile structures, or with large root systems that are difficult to dig out. It provides a long-term solution by killing the tree at its core. This prevents regrowth and reduces the need for repeated maintenance. It’s also a cost-effective alternative when complete removal would require heavy equipment or extended labour.
How long does it take for poisoning treatments to work?
The timeframe varies depending on the tree’s size, species, and overall health. Smaller trees and weeds may begin to show results within weeks, while larger trees can take several months to fully decline. Environmental factors like rainfall and soil conditions can also influence effectiveness. In most cases, poisoning is designed as a gradual but permanent solution.
Is tree poisoning safe for nearby plants and soil?
When applied correctly, poisoning treatments are targeted to minimise impact on surrounding vegetation. Careful application techniques prevent chemicals from spreading through soil or affecting desirable plants. However, some species with interconnected root systems may share chemicals, so placement is important. Professional application reduces risks and ensures only the intended tree or weed is treated.
Remove Unwanted Trees & Plants
Tree poisoning isn’t just about stopping growth - it’s about preventing future issues. By targeting roots and internal systems, this approach ensures trees and weeds don’t return, saving you the expense of repeated maintenance. It’s a practical option for properties where ongoing trimming or removal isn’t possible, and it helps keep outdoor areas safe, manageable, and ready for new projects. Our team uses proven methods and industry knowledge to deliver results that last.
