Site Clearance & Land Management in North Somerset

Site clearance and land management is the efficient clearing of overgrown or neglected land — dense scrub, brambles, fallen and overgrown timber — for development, farming or general upkeep. We work with a tractor, flail, wood chipper, timber crane and timber trailer, remove arisings as standard, and can leave usable logs or chip on site if you'd like them.

What we clear

  • Overgrown gardens, plots and paddocks
  • Dense scrub, brambles and self-seeded saplings
  • Fallen, leaning and overgrown timber
  • Field margins, hedgerow edges and neglected boundaries
  • Development plots that need clearing before building work

The right kit for the job

Our fleet is built for land work: a tractor with timber crane and grapple for lifting and loading, a flail for scrub and hedgerows, a wood chipper for brash, and a timber trailer to move logs and firewood off site. That lets us clear large areas quickly without the cost of bringing in several contractors.

Wildlife and legal checks

Before clearing, we consider nesting birds and any signs of protected species, and check for Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area restrictions. If something needs a specialist survey or consent, we'll tell you before work starts rather than after.

Ongoing land management

For farms and estates we can set up regular visits — hedge cutting, scrub control, tree safety work and clear-ups — so land stays productive and tidy through the year.

FAQ

Site Clearance & Land Management: common questions

Can you clear land ready for building?

Yes. We clear vegetation, scrub and trees from development plots, check for protected trees and wildlife constraints first, and remove all arisings so the site is ready for the next stage.

Can you take timber and firewood away?

Yes. Our timber trailer and crane handle logs and firewood, and all waste is removed as standard. If you'd rather keep the logs or woodchip, we'll leave them with you.

Do you work on farmland?

Yes — agricultural contracting is part of what we do, including hedge cutting with a tractor-mounted flail, scrub clearance and ongoing land management.
