Tree Removal in Exmouth & East Devon

If your tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a Conservation Area, you may need consent from the Local Planning Authority. TPO work requires a formal application; Conservation Area work usually needs six weeks' notice. Urgent safety work on dead or dangerous trees is exempt but must be evidenced. We can check protection status, advise on what's allowed, and handle the paperwork and mapping for you.

Many birds nest between March and August, though activity can occur year-round. We check for nests before and during work, and if an active nest is found, we delay or modify the work to avoid disturbance, in line with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981.

Yes. Green waste removal is included as standard. Arisings, chip and timber are collected, loaded and taken off-site. If you'd like to keep chip for beds or logs for seasoning, just ask, otherwise we leave the site tidy with hard surfaces blown down and pathways clear.

Prices reflect the scope of work, size, height and spread, access and rigging needs, complexity, equipment required and waste volume. Permissions and any traffic or pedestrian management can also affect cost. Photos and a brief description help with fast estimates, and we're happy to visit where needed.

We choose the safest, least intrusive method for the site. Most work is completed by professional climbing and rope rigging to lower sections in a controlled way. Where access, tree condition or safety makes it preferable, we use a MEWP (cherry picker).

Yes. Our operatives hold relevant qualifications (chainsaw use, aerial rescue, climbing, rigging) and Emergency First Aid. We work to BS 3998 guidance and site-specific risk assessments. Public liability insurance documentation is available on request, and we provide method statements where required.
