Reclaim Your Land

From impenetrable to workable

Land left a season or two turns into bramble, scrub and self-set saplings that swallow paddocks, choke boundaries and hide what's underneath. Reclaiming it by hand is brutal and slow.

We clear the lot mechanically — cutting, chipping and mulching scrub and small growth, felling anything larger, and grinding stumps where you want the ground genuinely clear. Most jobs are done in a single mobilisation.

Chipping on site keeps the cost down: you're not paying to cart and tip lorry-loads of green waste. The result is land you can graze, fence, re-seed, build on or simply see across again.

What We Tackle

The overgrowth we clear most

If it's grown where it shouldn't, we'll clear it — and tell you honestly whether mulching, felling or a mix is the right (and cheapest) method.

Brambles & scrubDense bramble, gorse and rough growth cut back and mulched, paddocks and fields reclaimed.
Conifer rows & leylandiiOvergrown screens and hedges felled, chipped and stumps removed — the line gone for good.
Self-set saplings & thicketsVolunteer birch, sycamore and willow thickets cleared before they become a woodland.
Overgrown hedgerowsNeglected hedges cut back hard or laid, worked around the nesting season.
Boundaries & ditchesFence lines, ditches and access tracks cleared so the land works again.
Fly-tipped & mixed sitesTangled, neglected plots assessed and cleared safely — we'll flag anything hazardous.

Paddock, field or boundary lost to scrub and brambles? We'll reclaim it and leave it workable.

Common Questions

Before you call

What counts as vegetation clearance? +

Brambles, scrub, nettles and rough growth; self-set saplings and thickets; overgrown hedgerows, conifer rows and leylandii; and the general reclaiming of land that's been left to go wild. Where there are larger trees we fell those too.

Do you clear conifer rows and leylandii? +

Yes — overgrown leylandii and conifer screens are one of our most common jobs. We fell, chip the brash and grind or grub the stumps if you want the line gone for good, all in one visit.

What about nesting birds? +

Active nests are legally protected. We plan vegetation and hedgerow work around the bird-nesting season (broadly March–August) or carry out a check first. We'll advise the right window at survey.

Do you take the waste away? +

We chip or mulch on site by default, which keeps the cost down. If you want arisings removed we'll price that separately, but most clients are happy for the chip to stay or be stacked.

Which areas do you cover? +

Surrey, Greater London, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and the wider South East. Free survey within 48 working hours.
