Tree removal in short
Clearcut removes trees of every size across Dorset, Hampshire and parts of Wiltshire. Most garden trees are taken down in sections by a climber on ropes, because there isn't room to fell them. Where there is space, the tree is felled in one piece. Very large or awkward trees can be removed with a crane. The stump is then ground out with our tracked grinder, usually on the same day.
- Methods
- Sectional dismantling, straight felling or crane-assisted removal
- Stump
- Ground out 150 to 300 mm below ground with a tracked grinder
- Waste
- Brash chipped and removed. Timber taken away or left as logs
- Permission
- TPO and conservation area checks on every job. We apply for you
- Price
- Mid-range, fixed written quote after a free visit
Which method is right for your tree?
The space around the tree decides how it comes down.
If the tree is near a house, a fence, a road or cables, it is dismantled: a qualified climber takes it down from the top, and heavy pieces are lowered on ropes to the ground crew. This is how most trees in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch gardens are removed.
If there is open ground at least as long as the tree is tall, it can be felled in one piece, which is quicker and usually cheaper.
If the tree hangs over a building or there is nowhere safe to lower pieces, sections can be lifted out with a crane.
On the free visit we tell you which method your tree needs and why, and check whether it is protected.

What does tree removal cost?
The price depends on the tree and its surroundings, so we quote after a free visit.
We are mid-range on price: not the cheapest, not the dearest. You pay for qualified climbers, proper insurance and a clean site, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
What affects the price
- The size and species of the tree
- How close it is to buildings, boundaries and cables
- Whether it can be felled or needs dismantling or a crane
- Access for the chipper and the stump grinder
- Whether you keep the timber and want the stump ground out
