Tree surgery in Dorchester, in short

Clearcut covers Dorchester and the DT1 and DT2 postcodes, including Poundbury, Fordington, Charminster, Puddletown, Broadmayne and the villages of the Frome valley. Dorchester's tree-lined Walks follow the line of its old town walls, the Frome water meadows run along its northern edge, and chalk downland surrounds it. Tree work is regulated by Dorset Council, based in the town; we handle TPO and conservation area applications.

Avenues, meadows and downs

Dorchester's oldest trees line the Walks around the town centre, and many of its streets are in a conservation area.

In the historic centre and Fordington, trees in the conservation area need six weeks' written notice to Dorset Council before work, and many are covered by TPOs. We check and handle the paperwork.

Along the Frome and in the water meadows, willows and alders grow big on wet ground and suit regular reduction or pollarding.

Poundbury has younger street and garden trees planted in a planned layout. Formative pruning now saves bigger problems later, and many trees are covered by planning conditions, which we check before any work.

On the surrounding chalk, beech and ash grow on thin soils, and ash dieback has left many roadside ash trees in decline.

Great service and price. Will certainly use Clearcut for my logs in future. Thank you Max for your communication and courteous service, so sadly lacking in these dreadful times!

Max came out on a very wet day and within 2 hours of initially calling him. Gave his expert advice and opinion, and although couldn’t do the job, due to the tree being on council highway, Max gave me the contact of the councils approved contractor to carry out a pollard. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Max for any future work at my property.
