Who we help
Clearance for homeowners, landowners and developers
Foundation Site Clearance offers tree and vegetation clearance for homeowners, landowners, developers, and businesses. We remove trees, scrub, and overgrown plants safely, clearing the way for your building, landscaping, or land project.
The basics
What is tree and vegetation clearance?
Tree clearance is the removal of trees from a site, whether one tree or many. Vegetation clearance is the removal of scrub, bushes, weeds, and other overgrown plants.
Both are often needed before building work, landscaping, or land development can begin. Clearing trees and vegetation properly leaves a safe, open site, ready for the next stage of your project.
Our tree and vegetation clearance service
A full clearance service, tailored to your site
We offer a full clearance service, including:
Tree felling and removal
Safe removal of trees of any size, using the right methods and equipment for the site.
Scrub and bush clearance
Clearing overgrown scrub, bushes, and shrubs to open up the land.
Weed and undergrowth clearance
Removing weeds and dense undergrowth, leaving a clean and manageable site.
Woodland and boundary clearance
Clearing trees and vegetation along site boundaries, hedgerows, or small woodland areas.
Clearance for building and development
Removing trees and vegetation to make way for new builds, extensions, or commercial development.
Once trees and vegetation are cleared, we can also handle tree stump removal and wood chipping, so the site is fully ready for the next step.
How we work
Five clear stages, from site visit to waste removal
- 01
Site visit
We visit your site to see what needs clearing. This includes checking for protected trees or any special conditions on the land.
- 02
Checks and permissions
Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or fall within a conservation area. We check this before any work begins, and handle the right permissions where needed.
- 03
Risk assessment and planning
We prepare a full risk assessment and method statement, so the work is carried out safely and correctly.
- 04
Clearance work
Our team removes the trees and vegetation using safe, professional methods suited to the site.
- 05
Waste removal
All cut trees, branches, and vegetation are cleared away and disposed of responsibly, or chipped on site where suitable.
Safety and compliance
Carried out carefully and legally
Tree and vegetation clearance must be carried out carefully and legally. We work in line with:
- The Environment Agency (EA)
- The Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
- Local Planning Authorities (LPAs)
- The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)
- Building Control Bodies
Protected trees and species
We check for Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), conservation area rules, and protected species before starting work, so nothing is cleared that shouldn't be.
Regulations we follow
All clearance follows the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM Regulations) and the Environmental Protection Act 1990, so waste is handled and disposed of the right way.
Fully insured
We are fully insured, so you can trust the job is done safely and properly, from start to finish.
