Tree surgery across Poole, from Sandbanks to Canford Heath
Few towns pack as many different tree settings into one borough as Poole does: harbour-edge pines, big Victorian gardens, heathland and busy terraced streets.
Most of Poole sits on free-draining sand and gravel, the same ground that underlies Canford Heath. Pines, holm oak and birch thrive on it. Trees on sandy soil tend to grow wide, shallow root plates, so we look at the rooting area and the lean before any felling or heavy crown work, and we tell you honestly how deep a stump can be ground.
On the Sandbanks peninsula and around Lilliput the roads are narrow, turning space is tight and the trees take salt wind off both the harbour and the sea. We confirm on the site visit exactly what kit will reach your property, so there are no surprises on the day.
In Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park, mature Scots pine, Monterey pine and holm oak stand in large gardens, and many are protected. In Parkstone, Newtown and Oakdale the work is usually closer quarters: garden trees near houses that need dismantling in sections rather than felling.
Every part of Poole, one local team
Each part of Poole has its own trees, access and planning rules. These are the things we look for in each.
Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park
Mature pines and holm oak in large gardens, often protected by a TPO or a conservation area. Consent is checked, and applied for, before any quote is finalised.
Parkstone, Newtown and Oakdale
Dense residential streets with lime, sycamore and cherry. We check whether a tree is in your garden or is a council street tree before anything is cut.
Hamworthy and Upton
Harbour-side gardens and the edges of Upton Country Park, with oak and sweet chestnut near homes. Boundary trees are checked for ownership first.
Canford Heath and Creekmoor
Birch, pine and scrub oak on acid sandy soil. Gardens backing onto the protected heathland can have wildlife constraints, which we flag on the visit.
Poole Old Town and the Quay
A conservation area, so trees here need six weeks' notice to BCP Council before work. We send the notice and wait for the all-clear.
Tree surgery services in Poole
Everything from one overgrown hedge to a large pine beside the house. All work to British Standard BS3998.
Tree removal in Poole
Trees taken down safely, mostly in sections on ropes because Poole gardens are tight. Felled in one piece where there is room.
Crown reduction and pruning
Height and spread brought back, crowns thinned or lifted, deadwood removed. The tree kept healthy and in shape.
Stump removal in Poole
Stumps ground out below ground level with our tracked grinder, which fits through most garden gates.
Hedge trimming in Poole
Laurel, leylandii, beech and coastal hedges trimmed or reduced, with a nesting check from March to August.
TPO applications
We check BCP Council's records for TPOs and conservation areas and make the application or notice for you.

Poole trees and the rules
In Poole, the council you deal with for tree consent is BCP Council.
A tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs BCP Council's written consent before it is pruned or felled. Trees in a conservation area, such as Poole Old Town or Branksome Park, need six weeks' written notice before work if the trunk is more than 75 mm across at 1.5 m from the ground.
Some Poole gardens border protected heathland such as Canford Heath, and some trees and hedges hold nesting birds from March to August. We check all of this on the visit and tell you what applies before you book the work. See our TPO service.
Tree surgery in Poole questions
Anything not covered here? Ask us and we'll give you a straight answer.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Poole?
It depends on the size of the tree, the species, the access and the work needed, so we price every job on a free site visit. We are mid-range on price, and the written quote is the price you pay. Book a free visit and we will give you a fixed price.
Which council handles tree preservation orders in Poole?
BCP Council (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole). We check for TPOs and conservation areas on every Poole job and make the application or six-week notice for you.
Can you reach properties on the Sandbanks peninsula?
Yes. The roads are narrow and turning space is tight, so we confirm on the site visit which chipper and grinder will reach your property. Where a large machine can't get in, we use smaller kit or carry the brash out.
Do you remove trees close to houses in Poole?
Yes, and most Poole garden trees have to be taken down in sections because of the space. Our climbers dismantle the tree from the top and lower each piece on ropes, so nothing lands on your roof or next door.
Do you cover all Poole postcodes?
Yes: BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15, BH16 and BH17, plus Broadstone in BH18. That includes Sandbanks, Lilliput, Canford Cliffs, Branksome Park, Parkstone, Oakdale, Hamworthy, Upton, Creekmoor and Canford Heath.
Do you offer emergency tree surgery in Poole?
Yes. Call 01202 022560 any time, day or night, 365 days a year, for fallen trees, storm damage and dangerous branches. See our emergency tree surgeon in Poole page.
