Tree surgery in Sturminster Newton, in short
Clearcut covers Sturminster Newton and the DT10 postcode, including Marnhull, Hinton St Mary, Shillingstone, Okeford Fitzpaine and the villages of the Blackmore Vale. The vale's heavy clay grows big oaks in hedgerows and fields, and the Stour runs through the town with willows and alders on its banks. Tree work is regulated by Dorset Council; we handle TPO and conservation area applications.

Blackmore Vale trees
The vale's clay holds water in winter and cracks in summer, and that matters for big trees near houses.
Oaks thrive on Blackmore Vale clay and grow very large. Close to houses with shallow foundations, a big, thirsty tree can contribute to subsidence on shrinkable clay. A tree assessment looks at the risk, and crown reduction can be part of managing it.
Along the Stour and its water meadows, willows and alders grow fast and suit regular reduction or pollarding.
Farmland around the town has long hedgerows with standard oaks, which we flail and maintain outside the nesting season. Ash dieback is common in hedgerow ash.
