Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) in Swanage
Protected trees, handled properly, from application to completion.
Working on a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence with unlimited fines. We check every tree we quote against the local authority's TPO and conservation area records, and where consent is needed we specify the works, submit the application, and carry out exactly what's approved.
Working in Swanage
Much of Swanage lies within conservation areas, so even unprotected trees need six weeks' notice to Dorset Council before work, and many carry TPOs as well. We check every address and handle the notification or application.
Just over the hill from our Wareham base, Swanage is home ground for Heartwood. We carry out tree surgery, stump grinding, hedge reductions and emergency storm work across the town, from Herston to Ballard Down.
Coastal trees take a battering from salt winds, and we're experienced in managing wind-sculpted and exposed trees so they stay safe without losing their character.
