Local Tree & Hedge Planting


With years of experience in the arborist industry, we are fully committed to enhancing your landscape with carefully selected trees and hedges that thrive in your environment and blend harmoniously into your established miniature ecosystem. Our services are available throughout Devon, ensuring that your local landscape receives the expert care it deserves.
 

Trees and hedges are more than just plants, they are vital to creating a healthy and aesthetically pleasing environment. Whether for wildlife, privacy, or curb appeal, the importance of expertly considered planting services cannot be overstated. Our expert arborists offer comprehensive tree planting services tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your green spaces are both beautiful and sustainable.

At Rooted Arboriculture, we believe that planting a tree is one of the most profound acts of optimism one can perform. It is a direct investment into the future, serving as a vital seed to the urban lands that often encroaches on our natural heritage. Beyond their aesthetic beauty, trees act as the lungs of our landscape and the foundation of local biodiversity. We value giving back to the land because we recognise that we are its stewards, not just its users. By prioritising habitat creation and native planting, we provide essential corridors for wildlife—from the birds nesting in the canopy to the complex fungal networks beneath the soil. For us, every sapling in the ground is a commitment to restoring the balance, ensuring that the vibrant ecosystems of  Devon remain resilient, healthy, and full of life for generations to come.

  Bird Box Installation Services
  
  Bird boxes, also known as nest boxes or wildlife boxes, provide essential shelter and breeding spaces for a wide variety of bird species, particularly in areas where natural nesting sites are in decline. As urbanisation, land development, and deforestation continue to reduce the number of old trees, hollow trunks, and natural cavities available for birds, artificial nest boxes play a crucial role in supporting local wildlife.
  
  
  Why Install Bird Boxes?
  
   

• By installing bird boxes, you help counteract habitat loss, ensuring that cavity-nesting species such as blue tits, great tits, robins, house sparrows, and owls have safe places to raise their young. These boxes also offer refuge from harsh weather conditions and predators, increasing the survival rates of fledglings and contributing to healthier bird populations.
   

• Beyond benefiting birds, nest box installation has a positive impact on the wider ecosystem. Many bird species play an essential role in pest control by feeding on insects, helping to maintain a natural balance in gardens, woodlands, and agricultural landscapes. Birds also aid in pollination and seed dispersal, supporting plant biodiversity and contributing to a thriving, self-sustaining habitat.
   

• Additionally, having bird boxes on your property provides an excellent opportunity to observe bird behaviour up close, fostering a deeper connection with nature. Whether you’re a homeowner, school, business, or conservation organisation, installing wildlife boxes is a simple yet effective way to encourage biodiversity, support conservation efforts, and enhance the natural beauty of your surroundings.
   

• Customised Solutions: We assess your property to recommend the most suitable bird box types and placements, targeting species such as blue tits, robins, and house sparrows.​
   

• Expert Installation: Our team ensures each nest box is installed at the optimal height and orientation, providing a clear flight path and protection from predators.​
   

• Quality Materials: We use durable, sustainable materials to construct bird boxes that withstand various weather conditions, ensuring longevity and safety for the avian inhabitants.​
  
  
  
  Bat Box Installation Services
  
   

• Bats are vital to the ecosystem, playing a key role in natural pest control and pollination. However, due to habitat destruction and the decline of mature trees with suitable roosting cavities, many bat species struggle to find safe nesting sites. Installing bat boxes provides a secure, artificial roosting environment, helping to support local bat populations and contribute to broader wildlife conservation efforts.
   

• Our bat habitat creation services involve assessing your property to determine the most suitable locations for bat boxes. We install high-quality, weather-resistant bat boxes designed to accommodate different bat species, offering them a safe refuge for breeding, roosting, and hibernation.
  
  
  Why Install Bat Boxes?
  
   

• Pest Control – Bats are natural insect predators, feeding on mosquitoes, moths, beetles, and other garden pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
   

• Biodiversity Enhancement – Encouraging bat populations contributes to a balanced ecosystem and supports overall wildlife diversity.
   

• Supporting Conservation – With bat populations under threat in the UK, installing bat boxes is an easy way to aid conservation efforts while improving your local environment.
   

• Eco-Friendly Solution – Bats play a crucial role in pollination and seed dispersal, helping maintain healthy woodlands and gardens.
   

• By installing bat boxes, you not only protect these fascinating nocturnal creatures but also create a healthier, more sustainable habitat on your property.
  
  
  Owl Box Installation Services
  
  
   

• Owls are magnificent birds of prey that help regulate rodent populations, making them an essential part of a healthy ecosystem. However, modern land development has significantly reduced the number of natural nesting sites, such as hollow trees and old barns, limiting safe breeding spaces for these nocturnal hunters. Our owl habitat creation service focuses on installing high-quality owl boxes in optimal locations to support local owl species and encourage their presence in both rural and semi-urban landscapes.
  
  
  Why Install Owl Boxes
  
   

• Natural Rodent Control – Owls are effective at managing small mammal populations, such as mice and voles, reducing the need for chemical rodenticides.
   

• Encouraging Conservation – Providing safe nesting sites helps support declining owl species, such as barn owls and tawny owls, which are struggling due to habitat loss.
   

• Enhancing Wildlife Diversity – A thriving owl population contributes to a balanced and healthy ecosystem by maintaining predator-prey dynamics.
   

• Sustainable Land Management – Farmers and landowners can benefit from having owls naturally control rodents in agricultural settings, making their land more environmentally friendly.
  
  
  We offer expert owl box installation, ensuring each box is placed at the correct height, orientation, and location to maximise its effectiveness. Whether you own a farm, woodland, or large garden, our owl habitat creation services help integrate these majestic birds into your local environment while supporting UK wildlife conservation efforts.
