The right tree in the right place makes all the difference. Here are six native species commonly planted across South West Wales.
-
Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea)
The true Welsh oak. Thrives on the acidic upland soils that cover much of Wales and can live for over a thousand years.
-
Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia)
Tough, adaptable and beautiful. One of the few trees that thrives at altitude on exposed Welsh hillsides. Berries are a vital food source for birds in autumn.
-
Alder (Alnus glutinosa)
Nature's riverbank specialist. Alder locks in soil on streambanks, prevents erosion, and fixes nitrogen into the ground — improving conditions for everything around it.
-
Silver Birch (Betula pendula)
A pioneer species that colonises open ground quickly, improving soil structure and creating shade for slower-growing species to establish beneath it.
-
Hazel (Corylus avellana)
An excellent understorey species that coppices readily and lives almost indefinitely. Nuts feed dormice, squirrels and woodpeckers; catkins are a key early pollen source.
-
Downy Birch (Betula pubescens)
The upland cousin of silver birch, better suited to the wetter, heavier conditions found across much of upland Wales. A key component of Atlantic oakwood.
Common Questions
- What areas do you cover?
- We cover South Wales — including Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Swansea, and the surrounding areas — and regularly travel as far as Lampeter in Ceredigion. For larger projects we're happy to go further, so it's always worth getting in touch.
- Are you fully insured?
- Yes. Full public liability insurance is in place for all work we carry out. We're also PA1 and PA6 certified for safe and legal herbicide application.
- What's the best time of year to plant trees?
- The dormant season — typically November through to March — is ideal. Trees are not actively growing during this period, which means less stress on the plant and significantly better survival rates. Bare-root stock is only available during these months too, which tends to be more cost-effective than pot-grown alternatives.
- Do you take on smaller jobs, or only large contracts?
- Both. We work on everything from large commercial restocking contracts to smaller private plots and domestic gardens. If you want a few hundred trees planted on a hillside, an invasive species problem sorted on a modest piece of land, or an overgrown garden cleared, we're interested in hearing from you.
- Do you take on garden clearances and smaller domestic jobs?
- Yes — garden and domestic work is very much something we do. Whether it's an overgrown garden that needs clearing, hedges that have got out of hand, or general tidying of a residential plot, we're happy to help.
- Can you advise on what species to plant?
- Absolutely. Species selection depends on your soil type, altitude, aspect, and what you're trying to achieve — whether that's commercial timber, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, or just improving your land.
- Why do you plant by hand rather than using machines?
- A lot of Welsh terrain simply isn't accessible to tractors and planting machines — steep banks, wet winter ground, and hillsides that would be seriously damaged by heavy machinery. Manual planting means we can work anywhere, every tree goes in properly, and your land doesn't take a battering in the process.
