Blandford Forum & North Dorset
Qualified tree surgeons serving Blandford Forum, the Stour Valley and North Dorset. From Georgian townhouse gardens to rural estates and agricultural land — free no-obligation quotes, all work to BS3998.
Clearcut Tree Surgery Ltd provides professional tree surgery services in Blandford Forum and across North Dorset, including the Stour Valley, Winterborne Valley, Tarrant Valley and surrounding villages. Unlike purely urban tree surgeons, our team is equally at home on residential properties in Blandford's Georgian town centre as on the large rural estates, farmland and woodland that characterise this part of Dorset.
North Dorset's mature tree stock — ancient oaks and ash on estate land, riverside willows and alders along the Stour, and the ornamental trees of Blandford's older properties — requires arborists who understand both the practical and planning dimensions of tree work in a predominantly rural, conservation-sensitive area. All our work is carried out to British Standard BS3998 by NPTC-qualified arborists with £5 million public liability insurance.
Tree Preservation Order applications in Blandford Forum are handled by Dorset Council's North Dorset area team — not BCP Council, which covers Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. We have direct experience working within Dorset Council's planning framework and manage all TPO applications and Conservation Area notifications on your behalf.

North Dorset Specialists
North Dorset is home to some of Dorset's most significant rural estates and agricultural land. We provide tree surveys, felling, timber extraction and woodland management for private estates, farms and landowners across the Blandford area. Our forestry tractor and extraction equipment handles the scale that smaller domestic contractors cannot — from individual mature oaks to multi-acre woodland clearance.
The River Stour runs directly through Blandford Forum, and many properties in the town and surrounding villages have trees growing on or near its banks. Riverside tree work requires careful planning — potentially needing Environment Agency notification alongside any Dorset Council TPO consent. We identify what's required during the initial site visit and manage all applications, ensuring work is carried out legally and to the right standard.

Why choose Clearcut in Blandford Forum
Rural North Dorset demands a different kind of tree surgeon — one with the machinery for large estate work, the planning knowledge for Dorset Council's TPO process, and the experience to handle trees that urban contractors rarely encounter.
Our forestry tractor, timber extraction equipment and large chipper truck are built for the scale of North Dorset's rural estate and agricultural work. We don't subcontract — our own team and machinery arrive on day one.
Blandford Forum sits within Dorset Council's planning area. We have direct experience managing TPO applications and Conservation Area notifications with Dorset Council's North Dorset team — advising on what requires consent and handling the process from start to approval.
We cover properties across North Dorset regardless of access difficulty. Remote farmland, woodland with no road access, steep valley sites — we assess access during the site visit and bring the right equipment.
We don't just remove trees — we process the timber. Logs can be left for firewood, chipped on site for mulch, or removed entirely. Nothing wasted, site left exactly as agreed.
