Order your seasoned logs todayThe Coastal Tree Care team have been busy producing seasoned logs in between our other jobs. With ongoing Government restrictions for the Corona-virus pandemic, the wood yard may be the safest place to be! The yard is not open to the public, therefor we can be sure to follow the social [...]
I was recently asked by some clients to convert their large tree stump into a bench seat. Having never tried my hand at chainsaw carving, I said I've give it my best shot! The brief was relatively straightforward, but the work was made more demanding by the sheer size of the tree stump and the number [...]
Don't try this at home, but we are going to show you how to prune dead branches from a holly, from our attached time-lapse video clip and photos. Pruning in trees is obviously more difficult than from the ground, and you need to be a trained, qualified tree surgeon to safely work at height using a [...]
There are few industries that can claim to be as environmentally sound as the arboricultural industry. We provide a valuable public service by reducing risks to the public and property by managing dead or damaged trees, and can find an end use for all of our waste products.

Dale and Dan spend the morning processing beech and cypress firewood for seasoning. We will be splitting and stacking firewood throughout the year in an attempt to satisfy demand when the nights draw in this coming Autumn. These logs will be ready for burning next Autumn/Winter, although if you have space to season your own [...]

Nice to be working under a blue sky, even though it was pretty windy up in the canopy for our intrepid climbing arborist, Bruce. I was hoping to film the whole job, but my camera phone batteries only lasted until mid morning! Just as well, because shortly after this point it turned decidedly grey and [...]
One of our specialities at Coastal Tree Care is scrub management; often for corporate clients or conservation bodies, but also for private clients in rural and suburban settings. Our team are experienced in tackling a variety of habitat types, and are trained to use a broad range of power and hand tools - whatever is [...]
As we approach the end of the Portland Living Landscapes project, we have just started to tackle a substantial area of scrub management over a former landfill site. The intention is to remove all of the brambles, buddleja and gorse to enable the establishment of grasses and flowering plants - for the benefit of invertebrates [...]
We have recently increased our manpower commitment to the Portland Living Landscapes Project, managed by the Dorset Wildlife Trust. As the project nears completion at the end of 2014, our team are removing and burning up to half a tonne of dead Cotoneaster integrifolius plants each day! At present, we are working in Tout Quarry [...]
