Whether you need an overgrown garden cleared, scrub removed from a development site, or invasive species brought under control across a larger area of land, Arbortech Professional Tree Services provides thorough and efficient vegetation clearance across Somerset.
We cover Taunton, Yeovil, Martock, Ilminster, Bridgwater, Wellington, Somerton and all surrounding towns and villages. Free, no-obligation site visits are available, and written quotations are provided on request.
What We Clear
Vegetation clearance can cover a wide range of material and situations. We regularly work on:
- Overgrown domestic gardens — including long-neglected plots ahead of sale or renovation
- Scrub clearance from fields, boundaries and development land
- Invasive species removal, including rhododendron, cherry laurel, Japanese knotweed management and Himalayan balsam
- Bramble, briar and rank vegetation clearance
- Riverbank and ditch-side clearance
- Clearance of trees and shrubs from sites ahead of construction or landscaping
- Ongoing vegetation management on commercial or public land
Ecological Considerations
Clearance work requires care, particularly on sites with ecological sensitivity. Many habitats — including hedgerows, scrub, rough grassland and watercourse margins — can support protected species, and certain clearance operations are subject to seasonal restrictions. Our team is experienced in working on ecologically sensitive sites and will flag any considerations that apply to your site before work begins.
Where invasive non-native species are present, disposal of the arisings must comply with current legislation — certain species cannot be composted or left on site. We handle disposal correctly and can advise on ongoing management to prevent recolonisation.
Site Clearance for Development
If you are clearing a site ahead of construction, it is important to establish whether any trees are subject to Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or whether the site falls within a conservation area before work begins. We can carry out this check as part of the initial site assessment, and advise on any consents required.
Vegetation Clearance Across Somerset
All clearance work is carried out by qualified, fully insured professionals. Arbortech holds full public liability insurance and is approved as a contractor for Somerset County Council and the Duchy of Cornwall.
