Site clearance: scrub, trees and stumps out, the ground left level.

Site clearance in short

Clearcut clears land of trees and vegetation across Dorset, Hampshire and parts of Wiltshire, from a single overgrown garden to a development site. We fell or dismantle the trees, cut and mulch scrub and brambles, remove hedges, grind out stumps, and take the waste away or chip it on site, leaving the ground level. For developers we also check protected trees and wildlife constraints first.

What site clearance involves

Every site is different, so we plan the order of work and the right machines on a free visit.

Trees come down first, felled where there is room or dismantled near buildings and boundaries. Scrub and brambles are cut and either chipped or flailed. Hedges are taken out, roots and all, and stumps are ground below the surface with the tracked grinder or lifted with a mini digger where the ground is going to be built on.

Waste is chipped into the truck and taken away, or chipped and spread on site where that makes sense. Timber can be extracted and stacked or removed.

Before clearance, we check for Tree Preservation Orders and conservation areas, and for nesting birds and other wildlife. On development land, we work to your planning conditions and tree protection plan.

Site clearance questions

Anything not covered here? Ask us and we'll give you a straight answer.

Ask us a question

Can you clear a whole overgrown garden?
Yes. Brambles, shrubs, hedges, trees and stumps cleared, and everything taken away, leaving the garden ready for landscaping.
Can you clear land during bird nesting season?
Only where there are no active nests. Between March and August we check first, and any area with nesting birds is left until later. On larger sites, plan clearance for autumn and winter where you can.
Do you need permission to clear trees from a development site?
Protected trees need consent, and trees covered by planning conditions must be kept as agreed. We check and work to your tree protection plan.
Do you take the waste away?
Yes. Everything is chipped into our truck and removed, or chipped and left on site if you want it as mulch.

Do we cover you?

Based in Ferndown, covering all of Dorset, all of Hampshire and parts of Wiltshire.

Max came out on a very wet day and within 2 hours of initially calling him. Gave his expert advice and opinion, and although couldn’t do the job, due to the tree being on council highway, Max gave me the contact of the councils approved contractor to carry out a pollard. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Max for any future work at my property.
