OVERGROWN LAND CLEARANCE

Overgrown Land Clearance

Overgrown land clearance across Carmarthenshire. Plots, paddocks, field edges, steep banks and building land that's been left to brambles, scrub and waist-high grass. We cut it all back with heavy brushcutters and our stand-on mower, rake it off and leave ground you can walk, sell, build on or keep on top of. Free site visit and a fixed price in writing.

What's included

What we clear

Brambles and scrub

Cut down to ground level across whole plots, banks and field edges.

Waist-high grass

Knocked back with heavy brushcutters, then cut again so it can be mowed.

Steep banks

Worked across the slope by hand where machines can't go safely.

Plots and building land

Cleared so surveyors, buyers or builders can actually see the ground.

Paddocks and field edges

Overgrown margins, fence lines and corners brought back under control.

Ongoing upkeep

A few cuts a year to keep it clear once the big job is done.

What land clearance doesn't include

  • Digging out roots or stumps. We cut back to ground level or low stumps only.
  • Tree felling or anything needing climbing.
  • Japanese knotweed. It needs a specialist, because cutting it can spread it.
Watch a big one

A whole hill in Kidwelly

The owner needed this hillside cleared and kept maintained to protect her claim to the land, with a council deadline hanging over it.

We filmed the whole job, from first cut to finished ground.

Before you book

Things worth knowing

The best time for big clearances is September to February, outside bird nesting season. From March to August we can still work, but we check for active nests first and leave any section with birds nesting in it, because damaging an active nest is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

If you think there's Japanese knotweed on the land, tell us before we quote. It isn't illegal to have it, but it is an offence to cause it to spread into the wild, and the cut material counts as controlled waste, so it needs a specialist.

For land you're selling, letting or proving you look after, we're happy to date-stamp photos before and after each visit for your records.

Overgrown Land Clearance FAQs

Common questions

What kind of land do you clear?

Overgrown plots, paddocks, field edges, banks, verges on private land and building land. If it's covered in brambles, scrub or long grass, we can usually clear it.

Do you take the cut material away?

On smaller plots we take it away as a registered waste carrier. On bigger land it's often better to leave it in a tidy heap or windrow on site, which keeps the price down. We'll talk you through both when we quote.

Can you clear steep ground?

Yes. Steep banks are a big part of what we do. We work across the slope with brushcutters, where a mower can't go safely.

Do you dig out roots or stumps?

No. We cut back to ground level or low stumps. Digging out roots is a much heavier job, so we leave it out of our quotes and say so in writing.

How much does land clearance cost?

It depends on the size, how dense the growth is, the slope and access, and whether the waste is taken away. Every job gets a free site visit and a fixed price in writing.
