Removal work after the planning decisions
Development sites often involve a sequence: survey, design, planning conditions, protected-tree checks, ecological requirements and then the practical clearance work. We do not present removal as a substitute for that process. We work to the approved scope after the relevant surveys, permissions and site decisions are in place.
That keeps the quote useful for a developer or builder: it is based on the actual trees, access, neighbouring land, drop zones and the required removal method.
What to send for an accurate quote
A site plan, the relevant tree schedule or approval, access information and the intended programme give us a proper starting point. If there are retained trees, root-protection areas, occupied neighbours or restricted delivery access, include those too.
The site visit confirms what can be done safely and how the work needs to be sequenced around the build.
Practical site clearance without vague promises
Trees may be felled where space and the approved scope allow. In constrained locations, they are dismantled in sections. Timber, brash and green waste can be removed from site, and stump grinding can be included where the next construction stage requires it.
If the site is still at survey or planning stage, get that work resolved first. If it is ready for the agreed tree-removal scope, send the details and we will quote the removal work.
