Trees and tree work in Bridgwater
TreeSurgeonCheck lists 12 tree surgeons serving Bridgwater. Eight of those firms say they offer tree felling, pruning and crown reduction, stump grinding, and hedge trimming, while five say they carry out emergency storm work. Seven say they work for homeowners, six for commercial clients, two for councils and the public sector, and one for farms and estates.
Somerset Council handles tree preservation orders (TPOs) and conservation area consents for Bridgwater. You can check whether a tree is protected using Somerset Council's TPO page, which links to maps organised by the former district councils including Sedgemoor, the area covering Bridgwater. If your tree is in a conservation area but not covered by a TPO, you must still give the council six weeks' written notice under a section 211 notice before carrying out most work, unless an exception applies.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Bridgwater?
If a tree has a TPO, you must submit an application through the Planning Portal with photos of the trees, and Somerset Council aims to decide within 8 weeks. Trees in a conservation area without a TPO still require a section 211 notice giving at least 6 weeks' notice to the council before most work begins. For a protected tree that poses a safety risk, the council needs at least 5 days' written notice before it is cut down.

How do I check a tree surgeon in Bridgwater is legitimate?
Four of the 12 listed firms are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, which you can search yourself to verify any firm. Businesses that transport waste must be registered, and householders should check before letting a firm remove waste. One firm states it is an ARB Approved Contractor; you can check the ARB Approved Contractor Directory to confirm. Four firms state they hold relevant qualifications, and two say they handle protected tree applications.

When should tree and hedge work be avoided because of nesting birds?
The main bird nesting season runs from March to September, though birds can nest outside this period, so tree and hedge work should be checked for active nests at any time of year. It is an offence to intentionally take, damage or destroy a wild bird's nest while it is being used or being built. Before any tree or hedge work, the site should be inspected regardless of the time of year.

What happens if a protected tree in Bridgwater is cut down without permission?
Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The fine for doing so is unlimited. If Somerset Council has not decided a TPO application within 8 weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination rather than proceed without consent.
