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.

- 01
Site visit
We visit your site to see how much material needs chipping, and check access for our equipment.

Planning
We plan the job based on the volume and type of wood, and agree whether chippings will be removed or left on site.
- 03
Risk assessment
We carry out a risk assessment before work begins, to keep the site safe for our team and anyone nearby.
- 04
Chipping work
Our team chips the branches and timber using the right equipment for the job.

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