OUR SERVICES
Tree Removal
Sometimes a tree has to come down. It might be dead, diseased, dangerously positioned or simply in the way of a planned project. Our tree removal service covers trees of all sizes, from small garden specimens to large mature trees on rural land. We plan every removal carefully to protect your property, garden and surrounding vegetation. All timber and waste is cleared from site as part of the job. Learn more on our Tree Removal page.
Tree Reduction
Tree reduction reduces the overall size of a tree without compromising its long-term health. This is the right choice when a tree is too large for its space but you want to keep it. We reduce the height and spread of the canopy in a way that follows the natural shape of the tree. This service is popular with homeowners in Fordingbridge whose trees have outgrown their gardens over the years. Read more on our Tree Reduction page.
Stump Grinding
After a tree is removed, the stump remains. Stumps can be a trip hazard, an eyesore, and a home for pests. Our stump grinding service removes the stump quickly and cleanly using a mechanical grinder. We grind down to below ground level so the area can be grassed over, paved or planted. This is a popular follow-on service after tree removal. See our Stump Grinding page for more.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is a specific form of pruning that reduces the overall size of the crown while maintaining the tree's natural form. It is different from topping, which damages trees. We make precise cuts at natural branch points so the tree retains its structure and continues to grow healthily. Crown reduction is often used on trees that are causing shade issues or are growing too close to buildings. More detail is on our Crown Reduction page.
Emergency Tree Removal
Storms, high winds and severe weather can bring trees down without warning. A fallen or leaning tree can block driveways, damage roofs, or pose a serious safety risk. Our emergency tree removal service is available to respond quickly when things go wrong. We have the equipment and experience to make the site safe and clear the debris as fast as possible. Visit our Emergency Tree Removal page for contact details and more information.
Pollarding
Pollarding is an ancient and effective way of managing certain tree species. It involves removing the upper branches to encourage new growth and control the size of the tree over many years. It is particularly suited to willows, limes, planes and some fruiting trees. Done correctly and regularly, pollarding keeps a tree productive and manageable for decades. Find out more on our Pollarding page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Fordingbridge?
Tree removal costs in Fordingbridge vary depending on the size, location and condition of the tree. Smaller garden trees cost less than large mature specimens in difficult locations. Future Trees & Garden Maintenance offers free same day quotes so you can get an accurate price with no obligation. Call 07401 310677 to arrange a visit.
Do I need permission to remove a tree in the Fordingbridge area?
In many cases you can remove a tree on your own property without permission. However, trees in Conservation Areas or protected by a Tree Preservation Order need consent from the local council before work can be done. Future Trees & Garden Maintenance can advise you on the rules that apply to your tree in the Fordingbridge area before any work starts.
Can you grind a stump on the same day as tree removal near Fordingbridge?
In most cases, yes. We can carry out stump grinding immediately after tree removal on the same visit, which saves time and keeps disruption to your garden to a minimum. Ask about our combined tree removal and stump grinding service when you book your free quote in the Fordingbridge area.
