Welcome to a greener future in tree care. In an era where environmental consciousness is not just a trend but a lifestyle, the imperative for sustainable tree care practices has never been more pronounced. Nestled in the heart of Weymouth, Coastal Tree Care Ltd is pioneering a revolution in arboriculture, championing a cause that is close to the earth’s heart — sustainability. This narrative isn’t just about cutting and pruning; it’s a testament to ecological responsibility and profound community engagement.
Property owners have a responsibility to ensure that any trees on their land are in a safe condition.
What Makes Tree Care Sustainable?
Beyond the conventional chainsaw, sustainable tree care is an art that blends skill with ecological sensitivity. It’s where the long-term health of trees and their ecosystems are placed at the forefront of every decision. Key to this approach are eco-friendly materials, techniques that minimise environmental impact, and a steadfast commitment to biodiversity. Such practices ensure that our trees thrive, thereby contributing to a healthier planet for generations to come.
Property owners have responsibilities for any trees on their land.

Benefits to Weymouth and the Local Community
Good tree care does more than tidy a garden. Done properly, it helps Weymouth stay greener, safer and better looking all year round — from residential streets to parks and public spaces. Sensible pruning reduces the risk of weak limbs failing in high winds, supports healthier regrowth, and helps trees keep their natural shape without being over cut.
Healthy, well managed trees also support local wildlife and help keep neighbourhoods cooler and more pleasant in summer. And because we’re based locally, we can plan work to reduce disruption to neighbours, traffic and access wherever possible.
Sustainable Tree Care in Practice
For us, “sustainable” means choosing the least invasive solution that still achieves the result you need. That might be selective pruning instead of heavy topping, removing deadwood and hazardous limbs while keeping the tree’s structure strong, or recommending staged works over time for long term health.
We also deal with arisings responsibly — with clear options to remove everything, or leave woodchip or logs where appropriate if you want to reuse them.

Tree Surgeon FAQ for Weymouth
Tree Care:: We provide a wide range of tree care services to our clients within the Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester areas. Trees have dynamic, self-optimizing structures that make incremental growth each year. It is essential to have a thorough understanding of their biology and physiology. Then, we can make appropriate recommendations for remedial work, if necessary. Any form of pruning is effectively wounding the tree.
Therefore, it is important to undertake any work at a time of year best-suited to the individual species. Our team of trained arborists are able to offer sound, professional advice, without obligation.

Crown Thinning, Reduction and Lifting

Crown thinning to reduce shade and improve airflow while keeping a natural canopy shape.
Crown thinning reduces density within the canopy to let more light through and improve airflow, while keeping the tree’s overall size and shape. We typically remove dead, diseased, damaged and crossing branches first, then selectively thin smaller secondary growth.
Crown reduction reduces the overall size of the canopy while maintaining a natural shape. This involves shortening selected outer branches back to suitable growth points, rather than “topping” a tree.
Crown lifting removes selected lower branches to increase clearance between the canopy and ground level. It’s commonly used where branches obstruct roads, pavements, driveways, footpaths or sight lines — and it can also help bring more light to gardens beneath.
Crown Thinning: If you wish to lessen the shade caused by a tree, Crown Thinning is sometimes used in preference to a crown reduction, as it is often a cheaper option. Dead, diseased, damaged and overlapping branches are generally removed first, then a number of small, secondary branches are removed.
Crown Reduction: Stump Reduction describes the process of reducing the overall size of the tree, whilst retaining its main shape. A small amount of the end growth is removed from the peripheral branches.
Crown lifting: Selectively removes some of the lower branches of a tree’s crown. The increase in distance between the base of the canopy and ground level allows more light to reach the ground. Consequently, this technique is often used when branches obstruct roads or pavements.
Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and Conservation Areas in Weymouth
Some trees in Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester are legally protected. If a tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you normally need permission from the local planning authority before you prune, reduce, fell, uproot, or carry out other works.
Conservation Areas: extra protections also apply. In Dorset, trees are generally protected where the trunk diameter is over 75mm measured at 1.5m above ground level, and you usually need to give the council 6 weeks’ notice before work goes ahead.
Wildlife: tree work can also be restricted by wildlife protections (for example bats or nesting birds). Non compliance can lead to enforcement action and substantial fines, and responsibility can apply to both the contractor and the property owner.
