Commercial Tree Surgery & Contract Tree Work
Professional contract tree work for organisations that need it done safely, on programme and fully documented.
Heartwood Tree Management delivers planned and reactive arboricultural contracts for commercial clients across Dorset, Hampshire and the South West. From single-site works for a school or holiday park to rolling maintenance contracts for housing associations and estates, we bring the same NPTC-certified teams, modern equipment and disciplined paperwork to every job.
Commercial clients need more than a good climber. They need risk assessments and method statements before anyone arrives on site, proof of insurance, traffic management where work meets the highway, and a contractor who turns up when the programme says they will. That is how we run every contract.
What we deliver
- ✓Planned maintenance contracts: cyclical pruning, safety works and inspections
- ✓Development site tree work to BS 5837 recommendations
- ✓Crown reduction, thinning, felling and sectional dismantling
- ✓Emergency and storm damage response with a 24/7 call-out line
- ✓Vegetation clearance alongside highways, railways and utilities
- ✓Full RAMS, waste transfer notes and completion reports on every job
Who we work with
We work for property developers, principal contractors, local authorities, parish councils, schools and academy trusts, holiday and leisure parks, land agents, estate managers and facilities management companies. Many of our commercial relationships are long-term: we survey, plan the year's works, and deliver them in phases that fit around your operations, terms or trading seasons.
All work is carried out to BS 3998 (Tree Work: Recommendations) by NPTC-qualified arborists, with £10m public liability insurance and documented safe systems of work. We are happy to complete contractor onboarding, DBS requirements for education settings, and site inductions.
From survey to sign-off
Every contract starts with a free site walkover. We identify defects and priorities, check for Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area constraints, and produce a clear, priced schedule of works. On completion you get before/after photographic records, waste documentation and, where relevant, an updated tree schedule for your asset register.
