From overgrown to ready to use

Ground that has been left for a few years quickly disappears under brambles, scrub, self-seeded trees and overgrown hedging. Clearing it by hand takes weekends and endless trips to the recycling centre.

We clear the whole area in one go, cutting back or removing vegetation, chipping the branches on site and taking green waste away, so the ground is ready to be landscaped, built on or simply enjoyed again.

What we do

Clearance work we undertake

Clearing as much or as little as you need, from a single border to a whole site.

  1. Vegetation removal

    Scrub, brambles, nettles and overgrowth cut back and cleared.

  2. Overgrown areas

    Borders, banks, corners and boundaries brought back under control.

  3. Land & garden clearance

    Whole gardens and plots cleared back to usable ground.

  4. Small trees & old hedging

    Self-seeded trees and unwanted hedges removed as part of the clearance.

  5. Wood chipping & green waste

    Branches chipped on site and green waste removed, leaving far less to dispose of.

  6. Vegetation management

    Follow-up cutting to keep cleared ground and boundaries from growing back over.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you take all the green waste away?

Yes, as agreed in the quotation. Branches are put through the wood chipper on site, which greatly reduces the volume, and the rest of the green waste is taken away.

Can you keep some plants or trees while clearing the rest?

Of course. Just show us or mark what you would like kept, and we will clear around it.

Can you clear a site before building work?

Yes. We clear vegetation, scrub, small trees and hedging so the ground is ready for the next stage. If larger trees are involved, we can quote for their removal too.

Are there times of year when clearance should not be done?

Cutting hedgerows and vegetation on uncultivated land is restricted from 1 March to 31 August under the Wildlife Acts, with some exemptions, and nesting birds are protected all year. We will talk through timing with you when we quote.

How much does site clearance cost?

It depends on the size of the area, how overgrown it is, what needs to come out and how much green waste there will be. Photos help us give you a free quotation quickly.

Do you clear sites in my area?

We clear gardens, plots and sites throughout Westmeath, Roscommon, Longford, Offaly and Galway from our base in Athlone. If you are not sure we reach you, ask us.
