Trees play a vital role in capturing carbon, reducing pollution, and creating healthier, more resilient landscapes. At Clearcut Tree Surgery, we’re proud to support tree planting projects across Dorset and Hampshire — and you can too.

The Benefits of Tree Planting:

Captures carbon and reduces greenhouse gases

Adds beauty and value to any landscape

Tree planting doesn’t end once the spade goes down — aftercare is crucial for helping your tree establish roots and grow strong.

At Clearcut Tree Surgery, we help clients across Dorset and Hampshire keep their new trees healthy with practical advice and professional care plans.

Aftercare Checklist:

1. Watering:
Water regularly in the first two years — especially in dry spells.

2. Mulching:
Add 5–10 cm of mulch around the base (but not touching the trunk) to lock in moisture and stop weeds.

3. Staking:
Stake if needed — but not too tightly. Trees need to move slightly to strengthen.

4. Pruning:
Don’t prune too soon. Remove only damaged or diseased branches in the first year.

5. Protection:
Use tree guards to stop rabbits or deer from damaging bark.

We offer tree planting and aftercare services across Dorset and Hampshire, working with landowners, schools, developers, and private clients.

Thinking of planting a tree? Whether it’s for shade, privacy, or wildlife value, choosing the right species — and planting at the right time — makes all the difference.

At Clearcut Tree Surgery, we help homeowners and landowners across Dorset and Hampshire select, plant, and care for trees that thrive.

Top Tree Species for Dorset & Hampshire:

• Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) – Hardy and native to the UK, perfect for larger spaces
• Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) – Fast-growing and ideal for screening
• Norway Spruce (Picea abies) – Traditional and great for wildlife
• Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) – Long-living, timber-quality species
• Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) – Impressive, rare, and long-lasting
• Monto Scots Pine – Compact and ideal for urban planting

Best Time to Plant Trees:

• Autumn (Oct–Nov) – Perfect for bare root trees
• Early Spring (Feb–April) – Great for container-grown trees
• Avoid Summer unless you’re able to water daily

We supply healthy saplings grown in recycled pots and can plant on-site across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Southampton, and the wider Dorset/Hampshire region.
