Vegetation clearing with a defined scope

From selective tree clearance to larger site preparation, we agree what stays, what goes and how the material is managed. A marked plan helps protect retained trees and features. Access, nearby services and project requirements shape the method and equipment.

Selective tree clearance

Remove agreed trees while protecting the features and vegetation to remain.

Scrub and overgrowth

Clear dense growth for access, construction or ongoing land management.

Stump options

Include stump grinding or excavator support where specified and practical.

Chipping and material removal

Process green waste and remove it or leave suitable chip on site as agreed.

Difficult-access sites

Plan work around slopes, tight access and sensitive parts of the property.

Commercial projects

Coordinate with project teams on access, site systems and programme requirements.

Plan the clearance before machinery arrives

Provide a plan or marked photos showing the clearance area and the trees or features to retain. Include the site address, programme and access route.

Tell us about underground or overhead services, tree protection, ecological requirements and any project approvals already identified. The relevant requirements need to be confirmed before work proceeds.

The quote should define stump work, timber handling, green waste removal and the required handover condition. Clearing vegetation does not automatically include earthworks or all root removal.

Before we start

  • Marked clearance and retention plan
  • Site access, machinery and nearby services
  • Project approvals and environmental controls
  • Timber, stumps and green waste scope

Send the address, photos and job details so we can assess the scope.

Frequently asked questions

Can you clear a site before construction?

Yes. Send the project plans and proposed timing so we can assess access, vegetation and site requirements.

Does land clearing include stump removal?

Only where included in the agreed scope. We can assess stump grinding or other suitable stump work and price it separately.

Can selected trees remain on the site?

Yes. A clear retention plan helps us agree how the work will be carried out around the trees and features that remain.

What information is needed for a clearing quote?

An address, photos, a marked clearance plan, access details, programme and the required material handling are useful.

Tell us about your tree work

Send the property address, photos and what you need done. We’ll assess the scope and discuss the next step.
