What commercial tree work costs

Your priceFree quoteQuoted after we have seen the job
Every job is different, so we do not publish a price list. The price depends on:
  • The size, species and condition of the tree
  • Access, and how close it is to buildings, roads or cables
  • Whether the tree is protected and needs consent
  • What happens to the timber, brash and woodchip

Protected trees, TPOs and conservation areas

Some trees in Somerset and Dorset are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, or stand in a conservation area. Work on a protected tree needs consent from Somerset Council or Dorset Council first, and the liability for unauthorised work falls on the tree owner, not the contractor.

We check whether a tree is protected before any work is agreed, and we only carry out work on a protected tree once consent is in place. If you are not sure, mention it on the form and we will look into it for you.

Left as though we'd never beenLockett Tree Surgery arrived at the agreed time, were professional and courteous throughout their time working. The work was excellent and the trees look so much better now. I couldn't believe how well they tidied up when they had finished and left it as though they'd never been.
