Tree Surgery in Dulverton
Get the right tree surgeon today
Dulverton is a stunning town that prides itself on being the gateway to Exmoor, although it’s one of several towns to claim that mantle. It’s surrounded by steep valleys, high hills and a lot of sheep, but it’s the trees that dominate the landscape. For that reason, tree surgery in Dulverton has to be able to deal with complex removals and little margin for error.
Dulverton Tree Surgery Services
As a reputable tree surgeon in Dulverton, I offer the following services:
Ash dieback and dead trees
Ash dieback is a scourge, and unfortunately it has a very high death toll (between 95% and 98%). Dead trees are a major danger if they’re close to highways or buildings. They decay and lose structural stability in the roots, resulting in a fallen tree. It’s important to get a tree surgeon in as soon as you notice the initial signs of a dead tree, especially if it’s ash dieback.
Pruning and trimming
Pruning and trimming can help keep a tree suitable for the space it occupies, and it keeps fruit trees looking tidy and reduces the amount of fruit they produce. It can also reduce the impact of larger trees, increasing sun exposure and eliminating neighbourly concerns about a tree falling. Trimming and pruning covers everything from simple hedge cutting and reducing the height of leylandii and laurel to full crown reductions and tree thinning.
Felling and removal
Sometimes, you simply want the tree gone. This might be because it’s in the wrong place and has become too big or unmanageable. In other cases, it might be because it poses an active risk to property or life. It could even be in the way of a project, such as a driveway or a shed. Felling a tree in Dulverton could be as simple as cutting it down and clearing it, or it might need ropes, pulleys and a careful, controlled approach to removal. No matter what you need, I advise on and deliver the tree surgery you need.
Hedge cutting
If your hedge is becoming unmanageable, I can trim or prune it as needed. I’ve reduced leylandii hedges to a more manageable size, and trimmed conifer and deciduous hedges. Active management of hedges reduces the work each year substantially, so give me a call for a competitive quote, no matter how high the hedge is.
Site visits and inspections
Tree surveys and site visits are a critical part of a tree management plan. I can advise on the potential impact of individual trees or map out larger estates to assist with overall tree management. This can include a drone survey, checking for defects within trees and careful inspection of those identified as potentially problematic.
How Much Does Tree Surgery in Dulverton Cost?
This is a complex question as it depends on what’s required. A simple fell and go could be a few hundred pounds, while a complex tree removal over several days could be a few thousand. It depends on how difficult the operation is, whether it needs specialised equipment (cherry picker, crane etc.) and how long it takes. Typically, expect around £350-£500 per person, per day. If a cherry picker is required, add another few hundred per day.
I work using a simple day rate, which includes chipping and removal if required.
