What We Mean When We Say ‘Site Clearance’

Site clearance involves the controlled removal of vegetation, trees, shrubs, bramble, scrub growth and accumulated green waste in order to prepare land for its next stage of use. It is the process that transforms an overgrown or inaccessible space into a stable, fully workable area. As a local tree surgeon working daily throughout the areas we cover, we understand how varied these environments can be, from small domestic gardens to large commercial plots, and multi-acre development land.

Our work often includes felling dangerous trees, removing unwanted growth, dismantling fallen or storm-damaged material, clearing ivy-bound fences, cutting back boundary lines, and shredding waste into easily removed or reusable material. Every site is approached with a clear plan designed around its layout, existing vegetation, and the requirements of the project that will follow.

What is the Process of Site Clearance?

Our site clearance process follows a structured and environmentally responsible sequence designed to keep the site safe and workable from start to finish. This process begins with a site survey carried out by a qualified tree surgeon, who assesses hazards, identifies protected features, and plans the safest method of removal.

We then manage the clearance using a combination of professional equipment tailored to the site’s needs. This may involve controlled dismantling of larger trees, specialist cutting tools for dense scrub, and chippers for rapid processing of waste. For clarity, the core stages typically include:

  • Initial survey, hazard identification and creation of an access plan
  • Selective removal of trees, shrubs and dense vegetation
  • On-site processing of green waste into chips or timber
  • Removal of stumps and roots to create a level, workable surface

Once the vegetation has been cleared and the land stabilised, the area is handed over, ready for construction foundations, landscaping works, or utility installations. We frequently support contractors throughout Witney, Brackley and Northampton, ensuring projects proceed without delays caused by difficult ground conditions or unmanaged vegetation.

Are Site Clearances Sustainable?

Sustainable practice is central to every site clearance project we carry out. As environmentally responsible tree surgeons, we follow procedures that minimise waste and protect surrounding habitats. All timber and green material is processed for reuse where possible, often chipped on site and repurposed as mulch for soil improvement, or transported for biomass use.

Absolute Tree Care operates within the timing restrictions outlined by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, avoiding disruption to active nests and protected species. Before any clearance begins, we assess the ecological value of the area, noting potential habitats and adjusting our working methods accordingly. Preservation is always prioritised when specific trees or areas of vegetation need to be retained.

Sustainability also extends to soil protection. We avoid unnecessary compaction, preserve healthy topsoil, and maintain clear communication with clients so the land is handed over in a stable, environmentally considerate condition. Our work ensures development can progress without compromising the long-term ecology of the space.

FAQs – Site Clearance

Yes, trees can be removed during site clearance, but only with the proper checks and permissions. The site must be assessed for Tree Preservation Orders, conservation area restrictions, and any ecological concerns, such as nesting birds. If approval is needed, it must be granted before work begins.

Site clearance covers the full preparation of land for development, which may include removing structures, rubble, hazardous materials, topsoil, and trees. Vegetation clearance focuses specifically on removing natural growth such as grass, shrubs, brambles, weeds, and small trees. Vegetation clearance is usually one part of a wider site clearance process.

The principal contractor is generally responsible for ensuring that all waste is removed and disposed of correctly. They must use licensed waste carriers, keep duty of care records, and make sure materials are recycled where possible. Subcontractors may help with the work, but the legal responsibility stays with the contractor overseeing the project.
