Trees and tree work in Yeovil
TreeSurgeonCheck lists 9 tree surgeons serving Yeovil. Six offer tree felling, pruning and crown reduction, and stump grinding; five offer hedge trimming; and three cover emergency storm work. Three firms state they hold relevant qualifications, and two say they work for homeowners. No firm currently states it holds ARB Approved Contractor status.
Protected trees in Yeovil are the responsibility of Somerset Council. You can check whether a tree carries a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) through the council's tree preservation page, which links to maps organised by the former district councils. Trees in a conservation area that are not covered by a TPO still require six weeks' written notice to the council (a section 211 notice) before most work is carried out, unless an exception applies.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Yeovil?
If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order, you must submit a TPO application through the Planning Portal, including photos. Somerset Council aims to decide within 8 weeks; if it has not done so by then, you can appeal for non-determination. For trees in a conservation area without a TPO, you must give the council at least 6 weeks' written notice via a section 211 notice before most work, unless an exception applies.

How do I check a tree surgeon in Yeovil is legitimate?
Six of the 9 firms listed on TreeSurgeonCheck for Yeovil are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, which you can search directly. Householders should check any firm taking away waste is registered. No Yeovil firm currently states ARB Approved Contractor status, but you can search that directory independently. Three firms state they hold relevant qualifications.

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 it, 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 built. You should check for active nests before starting any work, regardless of the time of year.

What happens if a protected tree in Yeovil is cut down without permission?
Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence. The fine is unlimited. Somerset Council also requires at least 5 days' written notice before a protected tree that poses a safety risk is cut down, even in urgent circumstances. Applications for TPO consent must go through the Planning Portal, and the council decides within 8 weeks.
