Make Sure You Contact Us!

Trees are one of the most cherished features in any garden or landscape. They provide beauty, shade, privacy, and a sense of maturity to your property. But without proper care, even the most majestic tree can become a problem – blocking light, growing too close to buildings, or posing a safety risk.

That’s where First Cut Trees steps in. We’re a team of skilled, fully qualified tree surgeons based in South Devon. Whether you need a one-off removal or regular maintenance, we’re here to keep your trees in good health, under control, and looking their best throughout the year.

What We Offer

Tree Felling & Removal

If a tree is diseased, dangerously close to your home, or simply in the wrong spot, we’ll remove it safely and efficiently. We handle everything – from straightforward fells to complex dismantles in confined areas.

Crown Reduction

Need to reduce a tree’s size but keep its shape? Crown reduction is the answer. We carefully trim back the outer canopy, maintaining the tree’s balance while improving light and space around it.

Crown Thinning

A dense canopy can make a tree look top-heavy and block light. Thinning allows more air and sunlight to pass through while preserving the overall structure and appearance.

Stump Grinding

Once a tree’s down, the stump can get in the way. Using powerful stump grinders, we remove it below ground level, freeing up the area for replanting, turfing, or paving.

Pruning & Deadwood Removal

Regular pruning keeps your trees healthy and helps prevent accidents caused by falling branches. It also improves appearance and growth – especially useful for trees near footpaths or buildings.

Hedge Cutting & Site Clearance

From tidying up overgrown hedges to complete garden clearances, we’ll restore order to any green space. We’re also equipped for larger-scale site clearance for developments and commercial grounds.

Emergency Call-Outs

Storm damage? Fallen limbs? We offer an emergency tree surgery service in and around South Devon. Our team will respond quickly to secure the area and deal with any hazardous trees safely and responsibly.

Environmentally Aware Tree Care

At First Cut Trees, we’re committed to environmentally responsible work. We recycle as much waste as possible – turning wood into logs, mulch, or woodchip – and we can offer advice on replanting if needed.

We’re also fully familiar with the regulations surrounding protected trees, including Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and conservation areas, and can help guide you through the permissions process if your trees fall under these protections.
