Forestry

We carry out tree shearing for a number of large estates and farms and undertake tree clearance for a number of nationwide house builders.

Tree shear with 13 or 7.5 tonne excavator typically used for the following:

• Coppicing
• Thinning
• Pollarding
• General tree clearance
• Creation of new rides
• Clearance of clearfell woodland areas
• Pipeline clearance
• Rhododendron & Laurel clearance

Fast, safe and efficent clearance of your wooded areas saving on expensive labour costs as opposed to cutting by hand

We have Ecologists on hand for the more sensitive projects and all our operators are very experienced and fully trained to CPCS level. We are also equiped to carry out tree and vegetation clearance work which we currently undertake for several large Cotswold Estates, farms and nationwide home builders.
Machines available include the following:

• 10” stump tree and brash pulveriser with Fendt 160hp vario tractor
• 10” Tractor driven chipper
• Stump planer with 13 tonne excavator for those extra large stumps hard or soft wood.
• Chainsaw and brush cutter operatives

We also have an Aebi TT60 bank mower for working on slopes up to 45 degrees, on low ground pressure tyres to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment
