Woodland management is essential to maintaining a healthy & diverse woodland across Totnes and South Devon. Without a helping hand, many woodlands can become dominated by mature trees. These trees block out sunlight to smaller trees and plants. This can have a detrimental effect not only on plant life but also on natural wildlife and its supporting habitats. Effective tree trimming and tree removal services in Devon are crucial for preserving woodland health.
Many people in Totnes and the surrounding Devon areas don’t realise the importance of tree felling for conservation because it’s often associated with negative connotations. However, tree felling is a vital woodland management service that ensures a healthy woodland ecology. Without the removal of dominant trees, the woodland canopy can become overgrown and dense, hindering the growth of new saplings and starving local wildlife of plant-based food.
In addition to creating varied habitats, tree felling in Totnes and Devon helps to create a more open landscape within a woodland. This open environment is particularly beneficial for woodland mammals in Devon woodlands, which need open spaces to move freely. It also improves visibility, which supports certain species by making it easier for predators to spot their prey, contributing to a balanced ecosystem.
South Devon woodlands are rich in native tree species, such as English oak (Quercus robur), pedunculate oak (Quercus petraea), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), silver birch (Betula pendula), and field maple (Acer campestre). Shrubby understorey trees like hazel (Corylus avellana), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), and holly (Ilex aquifolium) are also common, providing crucial habitats and food sources for local wildlife. These species contribute to the diverse and thriving ecosystems that define the region.
Wood chipping is a cost-effective & efficient way to turn large branches & foliage into useable wood chips. Many of our clients do this for a variety of reasons such as mulch for landscaping, garden compost or fuelling biomass boilers. It also makes it simple to transport.
At Landmarc, we provide professional woodland management services in Devon, including tree cutting, coppicing, and tree thinning. Our expert team helps to ensure your woodland thrives while supporting the needs of local wildlife.
There are many methods to choose from when you’re tasked with tree stump removal in Totnes or across Devon. For example, many try to remove tree stumps by hand. In our experience, this leads to poor use of time and a lot of back-breaking work. At Landmarc, we have been using mechanical stump removal methods for over 30 years. Using mechanical methods to remove tree stumps has enabled us to offer an affordable tree removal service. We are able to eliminate stumps quickly and efficiently.
This means that our clients in Devon are able to sit back and relax, whilst our trained operators safely remove their hazardous tree stumps and any related roots.
Removing the whole tree stump prevents suckering & fungal root rot. It can provide many other advantages too. One example is the freedom to make use of the free space that will be gained from the removed stump. Many of our clients in South Devon use this time to plant new trees in its place or introduce new planting to their landscape.
Tree felling in Totnes and Devon plays a significant role in creating varied habitats with diverse age structures. This is essential for many species of wildlife found in Devon woodlands, particularly during the early stages of a woodland’s development. By removing older trees and preserving younger ones, we help create microhabitats that support a wider range of wildlife.
Our tree felling services in South Devon also benefit woodland birds, which require a variety of habitats to thrive. By managing the process effectively, we ensure that the woodlands of Totnes and Devon remain vibrant and ecologically balanced.
At Landmarc, we provide a wide range of tree removal solutions for woodland owners in Totnes and across Devon. One of our most effective methods is coppicing, a sustainable approach to woodland management. This involves working as a team to remove large, dominant trees, such as mature oaks, ash, or birch, while leaving their stumps intact. These stumps regenerate with new shoots, promoting natural growth and biodiversity.
In some cases, these tree shoots, including those from hazel and field maple, may require careful pruning to encourage strong growth. However, many shoots thrive without intervention. By using the coppicing system in Devon, woodlands develop a diverse structure ranging from brambles and scrub to open glades. This variation is ideal for supporting wildlife habitats, including species such as woodpeckers, dormice, and woodland butterflies that rely on these varied environments.
Our experience in woodland management in Devon highlights the importance of consistent teamwork when undertaking projects like coppicing or tree felling. With proper management, the wildlife in Totnes and Devon woodlands can flourish while maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment.
If you own your own home, you’re usually free to fell trees in your own garden, unless they’re covered by a Tree Preservation Order or they’re in a Conservation Area. If you’re renting instead, remember to get a thumbs-up from your landlord first.
We’d always recommend to get any trees felled by an experienced professional as if any tree work or felling you do ends up causing damage or injury to your neighbour or their property—like if a tree topples over onto their shed unexpectedly—that falls under your liability.
You can often find a map of protected trees, either under Tree Preservation Orders or within Conservation Areas, on your local authority’s website. If you can’t locate the map, a quick call or email to your local council should get you the information you need. For example, if you’re in the South Hams, this is their TPO guide map:
