Tree planting in Farnham Surrey and Hampshire

We work with a wide range of clients - private landowners, estate managers, farmers and conservation-minded individuals who want to look after their land properly and get the most from it, both now and for future generations.

Sustainable Woodland Management

Good woodland management starts with understanding what you have and what you want to achieve. We'll walk the site with you, assess the condition of the trees, identify any structural or safety issues and discuss your goals - whether that's improving biodiversity, maximising timber production, creating access, or simply maintaining what's already there in good health.

From there we put together a practical programme of work. This might include selective felling to thin overcrowded stands and allow retained trees to grow to their full potential, removal of diseased or poorly formed specimens, or work to restore structure and light to areas that have become dominated by a single species.

Coppicing & Traditional Woodland Practices

Coppicing is one of the oldest forms of woodland management and remains one of the most effective ways to regenerate native woodland, encourage ground flora and create a diverse, structurally varied habitat.

We can carry out coppicing on a range of species including hazel, ash, sweet chestnut and hornbeam, working on a rotation that suits your woodland and your objectives.

Tree Planting

Whether you're establishing a new woodland, replanting after felling, or adding trees to a hedgerow or field boundary, we can advise on species selection and carry out the planting itself.

We favour native and locally appropriate species where possible, and will always recommend planting that suits your soil type, location and long-term aims. We can supply bare-root or pot-grown stock depending on the time of year and the scale of the project.

Woodland Management & Tree Planting FAQs

It covers the ongoing work that keeps a wood healthy and productive: selective thinning to give the best trees room, coppicing on rotation, clearing rides and glades for access and light, removing invasive species, and replanting where needed.

Usually yes if you are felling more than five cubic metres in a calendar quarter, or more than two cubic metres if the timber is sold. Licences come from the Forestry Commission. We can advise on whether your plans need one and help with the application.

We favour native broadleaves suited to Surrey and Hampshire soils - oak, beech, hornbeam, field maple, hazel, birch and wild cherry. Species choice depends on your soil, exposure and what you want the wood to do.

Bare-root planting season runs from around November to March while trees are dormant, which is both the cheapest and most successful option. Container-grown stock can go in year-round but needs watering through its first summer.

We can advise on what is involved and point you towards the relevant schemes. Grant funding for planting and woodland improvement changes regularly, so we will tell you what is current when we visit.
