Site and land clearance in Chalfont St Giles

A clearance area may contain bramble, self-seeded stems, overgrown hedge growth and agreed unwanted small trees. The neighbourhood plan gives weight to rural character and green spaces, but that does not identify what stays on a private plot. The customer's marked retained list and the quoted work set the boundary on site.

Photograph the ground from both ends and draw unclear edges on a simple plan. Confirm ownership where a cottage garden meets a lane, field hedge or neighbouring plot. We do not provide boundary, ecology or tree surveys, so disputed lines and written assessments need separate advice.

A private drive may provide room for a chipper while the clearance sits behind a narrow side gate. Show the full route, surface changes, soft ground and corners. Identify drains, glass, overhead cables and any lane or footway that must remain open.

Protected trees and active nests can alter the boundary or timing. Check the Chalfont St Giles conservation-area boundary, the separate Jordans designation and any TPO before tree removal or heavy pruning forms part of the job. Mark protected or retained growth clearly.

Scrub cutting, small-tree felling, stump grinding and soil preparation are separate operations. Low stems and roots remain if stump work is not listed. Send any following contractor's required access width and finished ground level before we quote.

Clean-up is included, with brash, chip and timber handled as quoted. Marked material stays in place. Mulching or landscaping can be added. We check the result against the clearance boundary, retained plants and agreed ground finish rather than assuming a bare plot.
