    Site Clearance & Land Clearing

    Overgrown plots, derelict yards and neglected brownfield land cleared to a workable level — with invasive species identified first so nothing gets spread by the machines that clear it.

    Vegetation Clearance

    Scrub, brambles, self-set trees and dense undergrowth mulched or removed.

    Fly-Tipping Removal

    Illegally dumped waste, tyres and rubble cleared under full duty of care.

    Invasive Species First

    Knotweed, bamboo and hogweed mapped and controlled before any earth is moved.

    Grab & Muck-Away

    Grab lorries, tippers and skips supplied with transfer notes on every load.

    Segregated Recycling

    Green waste, hardcore and metals separated to keep landfill costs down.

    Ecology Timing

    Nesting-bird and bat checks so clearance stays inside the law.

    How the works run

    1. 1Walkover surveyWe identify invasive species, protected habitat, buried waste and access constraints.
    2. 2Ecology & permissionsNesting-bird checks, TPO and hedgerow checks, and any consents confirmed in writing.
    3. 3Controlled clearanceVegetation and waste removed in a sequence that prevents spread of contaminated material.
    4. 4Grade & tidySite levelled, tracked out and left clean, with photographs before and after.
    5. 5DocumentationWaste transfer notes, tonnage figures and a clearance report for your file.

    Clearing land with invasive weeds on it

    Flailing or digging through Japanese knotweed, bamboo or Himalayan balsam turns a contained problem into a site-wide one, and moving that soil off site without the right paperwork is an offence. On every clearance we survey for invasive species first and either treat, contain or remove them under a documented method statement.

    What site clearance costs

    Small residential plots typically start around £600–£1,500. Quarter-acre overgrown sites usually fall between £2,000 and £5,000 depending on waste volume and access. Brownfield and commercial land is priced after survey — we always split vegetation, waste disposal and invasive weed works so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

    Site Clearance & Land Clearing — common questions

    Most domestic plots are cleared in one to three days. Larger commercial sites are programmed after a survey, and we can usually attend for that survey within 48 hours.

    Yes, but a competent nesting-bird check is required between March and August. If active nests are found, we work around them until the young have fledged, which keeps you compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

    Yes. We are Environment Agency registered waste carriers and supply transfer notes for every load, with tonnages recorded so you have a complete audit trail.

    We survey it, map it and give you costed options: a herbicide management plan, root barrier installation, on-site burial or full excavation and removal — all with an insurance-backed guarantee where required by a lender.

    We clear general fly-tipped waste routinely. Where asbestos cement sheeting is present, it is removed and disposed of separately under hazardous waste consignment notes.

    Questions above cover site clearance & land clearing. For how we identify species, price surveys, keep treatments safe and what the 10-year guarantee covers, read our approach to weed control or the full frequently asked questions.
