Our Tree Surgery Services

At Sutton Arboriculture, we offer a comprehensive range of tree surgery services tailored to meet the unique needs of South Hams and its surrounds. Here’s what we can do for you:

Tree Planting – Whether you’re adding a single tree to your garden or establishing a new woodland, we can help you choose the right species for your environment and plant it with care. Proper planting ensures healthy growth for years to come.
Tree Removal – Some trees outgrow their space, become hazardous or simply need to make way for new plans. Our tree removal service is safe and efficient, minimising disruption to your property. Learn more by checking out our standalone tree removal page.
Stump Grinding – Tree stumps can be unsightly and problematic. Our stump grinding service takes the entire stump below ground level, creating a clean slate for replanting or landscaping. Roots are chased out to prevent ground subsidence when they rot away.
Crown Lifting – A crucial aspect of tree surgery, crown lifting involves removing lower branches to increase clearance beneath the tree. This process enhances light penetration, improves access and is often essential for the upkeep of public pathways or roadways around South Hams.
Crown Reduction – Overgrown crowns can pose safety risks and place excess stress on trees. Our crown reduction service carefully removes specific branches to reduce height and spread while maintaining the tree’s natural shape.
Pollarding – This is a technique used to retain a mature tree in a location where it has the potential to out grow. This is generally carried out on a 5 year cyclical basis.
Alaskan Chainsaw Milling – Got a felled tree you’d like to repurpose? Our Alaskan chainsaw milling service transforms tree trunks into usable timber for furniture, construction, or artistic projects, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Hedge Cutting – Sutton Arboriculture provides expert hedge cutting services to maintain the health, shape and aesthetic appeal of your hedges. Whether it’s routine trimming or a complete reshaping, we ensure precision and care, keeping your space vibrant while promoting healthy growth.
Hedge Removal – If you’re redesigning your landscape or clearing space for new projects, our tree surgeons can be of assistance by removing obstructive or otherwise unwanted hedges of all shapes and sizes.
