Vegetation Clearance

Our one-off vegetation clearance services can help you clear your green spaces, highways, nature reserves and heritage sites ready for development or enhancement.

If you’ve acquired a tract of land, you may encounter areas of excessive plant growth that can create a substantial obstacle that must be removed before development can proceed. Trees, shrubs and weeds and even invasive species can all clutter open areas and prevent access for personnel and vehicles, slowing down the whole process and proving costly for land developers. Invasive weeds can spread over larger areas and require expert logistical management.

As well as effective site vegetation clearance, Glendale’s professionals can carry out additional services including wood chipping, mulching and stump grinding. These practices can help keep material removal costs down as arisings can be reintegrated into the topsoil. Our mulching equipment can efficiently remove many otherwise challenging materials including hawthorn and blackthorn. We can also provide additional arboricultural management and tree surgery where necessary in both amenity and utility settings.

With nearly 30 years’ experience in site vegetation clearance, Glendale is ready to offer our expertise to help you achieve your goals. We’re here to offer any advice that you may need. Our teams of specialists are also amply equipped and fully qualified to carry out any clearance work in a quick, professional manner.

Benefits of site vegetation clearance

There are many advantages to professional land clearance, particularly if you seek to redevelop the area in question. Other reasons to clear vegetation might include to remove hazardous plant species, dangerous substances or refuse left from fly-tipping. Clearance work such as this can reduce antisocial behaviour, clear dangerous or diseased trees and vegetation, and clear an area that is disused, unsightly and dangerous.

If your site is inhabited by established trees, invasive species or widespread brush growth, development can prove almost impossible. The very first stage of developing any green space is to remove these plants and facilitate access. As well as redevelopment, clearing vegetation can benefit the area by reducing antisocial behaviour, clearing diseased or dangerous trees before they fall and enhancing the aesthetic value of the space by removing unsightly growth. Please note that invasive species can be difficult to remove and will require specialist, ongoing management to prevent their return.

We specialise in the effective removal of plant growth, from removing scrub and cutting down trees to stump grinding. Our teams can completely clear vegetation using the safest and swiftest methods. Glendale maintains an exceptional work safety record and all our operatives receive effective training in the use of chainsaws, mulching equipment, hedge trimmers and other motorised clearing equipment. All our team members are trained to be legislatively compliant, ensuring an outstanding level of service.
