We will dispose of all waste products, including brash and mulched arisings, responsibly and in accordance with your Site Waste Management Plan. Our team is passionate about conservation and this plays a role in everything we do.

frequently asked questions

Grounds and site clearance refers to the removal of unwanted vegetation, trees, stumps, debris or structures from a site so it is clean, safe and ready for its next use (such as redevelopment, landscaping or new planting).

Typical tasks include clearing scrub and brambles, removing trees and stumps, clearing rubbish/waste or fly-tipped items, removing old structures or hard surfaces, levelling or preparing the ground for new use.

Site clearance is often required prior to building works, landscaping projects, commercial development, or when a property/land has become overgrown or neglected.
You should check for legal protections on trees (such as tree preservation orders), wildlife/ecology constraints, proper waste disposal and health & safety issues. Also consider access, size of vegetation, complexity of debris removal and timing.
At Kneebone Trees we assess the specific needs of your site—whether commercial, residential or development-land—then provide a bespoke clearance plan: from initial survey and staffing to equipment, debris removal and final preparation.
