Seasoned Logs

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 [...]

Tree stump bench carving

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 [...]

How to prune dead branches from a holly

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 [...]

These logs will be ready for burning next Autumn/Winter, although if you have space to season your own [...]

The work involves removing extensive overgrown areas of bramble and gorse to give the grazing animals a bit of a 'head start', and encourage recolonisation by the host of diverse [...]

Time lapse beech tree

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
