Tree Surgery & Pruning in Swanage

Skilled, insured tree surgery for homes, businesses and estates across Dorset.

From reducing an overgrown oak to dismantling a dangerous tree over a conservatory, Heartwood's climbing teams carry out all aspects of tree surgery safely and to British Standard 3998. Every job is quoted free, planned properly, and left tidy.

Working in Swanage

Swanage trees grow in salt wind off the bay, and the exposed ones on the Ballard Down side need reduction that keeps their wind-sculpted shape rather than opening them up to more damage. Steep terraced gardens above the town mean rigging and carrying rather than driving in.

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.

Much of Swanage sits within conservation areas where tree works need six weeks' notice to Dorset Council. We check every address and handle notifications for you.
