Really happy with the service. They turned up on time and just got stuck in, despite the heatwave and some serious brambles to contend with. They left everything clean and tidy with a walk round.

Moorland Tree Care provided an excellent service from start to finish. They were easy to get hold of and came round for a quote the same afternoon, and sorted the job in a quick turnaround. They were professional, friendly and took care whilst removing the tree which was in a tight spot, to keep limbs within our boundaries and protect neighbouring fences. They also took care to stack the wood and clear the area afterwards. Would highly recommend. Thankyou.

Huge thanks to Moorland Tree Care for removing our tree stumps so quickly. They were friendly and really helpful in finding a time that worked for us. We have quite tricky access, but they brought a compact stump grinder and had no issues with the narrow gates. Really happy with the communication and the time they took to protect our garden and the neighbouring property. Great service from start to finish

Having had a few quotes and a variable experience with people getting back to me, Adam responded immediately, booked me in on a cancellation the following day and ground the stump well below ground level. Would definitely use again and would recommend to anyone.

We recently used this company for a tree removal in Paignton and were really impressed. The tree was in a built-up area with limited space, but they worked carefully the whole time. Safety was clearly a priority and they took great care around nearby properties and gardens. Everything was left tidy afterwards too. Highly recommend them if you need tree work done locally

Moorland Tree Care worked on our trees in Moretonhampstead and did a great job. They pruned our apple and fig trees and carefully removed a dual leader from our silver birch that was leaning towards the neighbours. They even left us the good wood for logs and took away all the brash, which was really appreciated. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with, and everything was left tidy afterwards. We’re really happy with the work and would recommend them.

Moorland tree care came and expertly removed some dead and dangerous 80ft larch trees overhanging a track. Stacked timber and chipped the waste for us. Brilliant job and gave some excellent advice for future management. Brilliant service, a very knowledgeable man and super friendly. Highly recommend them and they will be returning to do more.

Planning & Legal Considerations

Most garden fences in Devon won’t require planning permission if they’re under 2 metres high. However, if the fence borders a public highway or footpath, the height limit drops to 1 metre unless planning permission is granted. Additional rules apply to properties in conservation areas or those near listed buildings, where appearance and materials may also be restricted.

For detailed guidance on fence height restrictions and boundary regulations, consult your local districts planning guidance or the Planning Portal.

Fencing Installation FAQs

Most residential fencing under 2 metres doesn’t require planning permission in Devon, but conservation areas around places like Totnes, Dartmouth, and parts of Exeter have stricter rules. We always check with local planning departments and can advise on any restrictions that might apply to your specific location.

Yes, we cover all of Devon for fencing installation, from central Exeter out to the coast and up onto Dartmoor. Based just off the A30 near Whiddon Down Junction, we can reach most Devon locations within an hour, making us ideal for both planned installations and urgent fence repairs after storm damage.

Devon’s coastal winds and heavy winter rains mean we schedule installations during suitable weather windows for optimal results. We avoid installing during high winds or when ground conditions are too wet, particularly on clay soils common around Crediton and Cullompton where proper post setting is crucial.

Fencing costs in Devon vary depending on type, ground conditions, and access, but we provide transparent quotes with no hidden charges.

Absolutely – Devon’s hilly terrain, especially around Dartmoor areas like the Teign Valley and Moretonhampstead, requires specialist techniques for proper fence installation. We use stepped installations and adjust post depths to handle slopes whilst ensuring your fence remains secure and level.

Most residential fence installations in Devon take 1-3 days depending on length and ground conditions. The granite subsoil common around Dartmoor can slow progress, whilst softer soils in areas like the Exe Valley allow faster installation.

Yes, we provide rapid response for storm-damaged fencing across Devon, particularly after the winter gales that regularly affect exposed coastal areas and higher elevations. Our local base means we can assess damage quickly and source replacement materials from Devon suppliers.

Yes, but conservation areas in places like Totnes old town, Dartmouth, and central Exeter often have specific requirements for materials and height. We work with local conservation officers to ensure your fence installation complies with all regulations whilst meeting your practical needs.

In the UK, one homeowner usually bears complete responsibility for a fence even if it sits on the boundary and owns both sides of it. Check your property’s title deeds or deeds plan to confirm the owner. Often, who has maintained or repaired the fence in the past becomes the presumptive owner

Ensure your installer is fully insured, qualified, and uses industry-standard installation techniques. Ask for itemised quotes, references, and a clear project timeline before committing.
