Tree And Vegetation Management

We carry out full vegetation and scrub clearance for both ecological projects and development sites, including:

• Full tree and scrub removal

• Phase based site clearance in line with ecological constraints

• Clearance for footpaths, utility access, or groundwork

• Removal of brash, arisings and timber

• On-site processing or safe off-site disposal

• Pre-construction vegetation clearance following planning approval

We use low ground pressure plant, mulching heads and hand tools depending on site conditions and sensitivity.

Our trained and qualified team carries out a full range of tree services, with a focus on safety, habitat value, and site objectives.

• Tree removal and sectional dismantling

• Crown lifting, thinning and reduction

• Deadwood removal and veteran tree management

• Emergency storm damage clearance

• Stump grinding and eco-plug treatments

• Creation of habitat features (log piles, standing deadwood, hibernacula)

All works are carried out to BS3998 standards by NPTC-certified operatives and with appropriate ecological checks.

Invasive species threaten native biodiversity, undermine structures and complicate land use. We provide a complete invasive species service, including:

• Identification and mapping of invasive species

• Treatment and management plans

• Excavation and disposal of Japanese knotweed under license.

• Control of Himalayan balsam, giant hogweed, rhododendron, laurel and bamboo

• Spraying, stem injection and mechanical clearance

• Bunding and composting options for suitable material

• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up treatments

We operate with full biosecurity procedures and can work under the supervision of ecological consultants where needed.

Our habitat led approach to tree and vegetation work includes:

• Woodland thinning, coppicing and glade creation

• Ride widening and light management

• Native hedge laying and gapping up

• Invasive shrub removal and control

• Dead hedge creation and invertebrate habitat features

• Planting of native trees, shrubs and hedgerows

• Installation of protective fencing and guards

These practices support species diversity and long-term resilience of the habitat.

We support projects with pre-commencement and ongoing arboricultural services:

• BS5837-compliant tree surveys and reporting

• Tree protection fencing and signage

• Root protection zone (RPZ) protection

• Vegetation clearance in line with ecological and planning conditions

• Liaison with local planning authorities regarding TPOs (Tree Preservation Orders)

• Ongoing site vegetation management during construction

We work with nature in mind, ensuring all clearance and management works are delivered sensitively:

• Ecological awareness and timing to avoid nesting or hibernation periods

• Visual checks for protected species and habitat features

• Retention of valuable habitat (deadwood, veteran trees, etc.) where safe

• Use of arisings to create log piles, brash hedges and hibernacula

• Supporting biodiversity and natural regeneration across all sites
