Site Clearance FAQs

How long does site clearance take?

The time taken to clear a site will depend on two main factors: the size of the site, and the amount that needs to be cleared. For example, a small residential garden that needs vegetation clearance will take less time than a commercial site clearance where trees are felled and tree stumps need to be removed.

How much does site clearance cost?

The cost of site clearance depends on a range of factors, including the size of the site requiring clearance, the work required, and how easy it is to carry out. Tall and damaged trees would require more expertise and take longer to clear, which would be more than a small garden where everything is smaller, easier to access, and easier to manage.

What can you take away in a site clearance?

In our site and garden clearances, we can take away any vegetation, scrub, wood and natural garden waste as a result of clearing the site from problem plants and trees. Anything that’s taken away is either reused or allowed to decompose.
