Who we help

Wood chipping for homeowners, landowners and businesses

Foundation Site Clearance offers professional wood chipping for homeowners, landowners, and businesses. We chip branches, trees, and vegetation on site, making waste easier and quicker to clear away.

The basics

What is wood chipping?

Wood chipping is the process of breaking down branches, trees, and other timber into small wood chips. This is often done after tree felling, vegetation clearance, or hedge cutting, to reduce large amounts of waste into something easier to manage.

Wood chipping can also produce useful material. Chippings can be reused for mulch, pathways, or ground cover, or removed from site as part of your clearance project.

How we work

Five clear stages, from site visit to clean-up

  1. 01

    Site visit

    We visit your site to see how much material needs chipping, and check access for our equipment.

  2. 02

    Planning

    We plan the job based on the volume and type of wood, and agree whether chippings will be removed or left on site.

  3. 03

    Risk assessment

    We carry out a risk assessment before work begins, to keep the site safe for our team and anyone nearby.

  4. 04

    Chipping work

    Our team chips the branches and timber using the right equipment for the job.

  5. 05

    Site clean-up

    We clear the area once chipping is complete, removing chippings if needed, and leaving the site tidy.
