Construction site clearance
Ross Webster Tree Services carries out commercial site clearance and commercial tree removal for development, redevelopment and land-preparation projects across County Durham and North Yorkshire. We clear agreed trees, scrub, bramble and self-seeded growth to a written specification, so the site can move cleanly to the next stage.
Send the site location, a plan or marked photos, the areas to be cleared and the access details. We assess the work area, identify the site constraints, prepare RAMS for the agreed scope and provide a written quote. Where stump grinding is required, it’s included in the clearance scope rather than left as an unknown for the next contractor.
This is a one-off clearance and handover service before redevelopment. For planned commercial tree care, pruning and removals on an estate, business park or other live site, see our commercial tree surgery service.
What commercial site clearance includes
- Trees and scrub
- Approved tree removals, scrub, bramble and self-seeded growth cleared to the agreed specification.
- Controlled tree work
- Felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling where trees sit near structures, boundaries, services or access routes.
- Stumps
- Stump grinding where it’s included in the clearance scope. See stump grinding.
- Agreed arisings
- Arisings handled only as recorded in the written clearance scope.
Information we need before quoting
Send the site location, what needs clearing, a plan or marked photos if you have them, the access route and any known constraints. Underground services, overhead lines, neighbouring property, protected trees, ecology constraints and the next stage of the programme all affect the scope.
We assess the site, confirm the work area and prepare RAMS for the agreed commercial work. The written quote records the scope before the work is booked.
Existing surveys and specifications
Where a site has an existing BS5837 survey, planning condition or approved tree-work specification, send it with the enquiry. We can quote for the specified tree work. If you still need a report, see BS5837 tree surveys for planning. We confirm the survey provider and deliverables before appointment; physical tree work is quoted separately.
What drives site clearance cost
Site clearance cost is quoted per site, not per tree or per square metre, because the same area can vary so much: vegetation density, stem sizes, how much is chipped or hauled away, ground conditions, access for machinery, protection for anything being kept, and the documentation the programme requires. A written quote states the clearance scope and what happens to the arisings before work is booked. A site clearance cost per square metre is only meaningful once those factors are known, so we price from an assessment rather than a rate card.
What this service doesn’t cover
We quote for tree, scrub and vegetation clearance. Groundworks, demolition, contaminated-material removal and ecology surveys are outside this service.

Do protected trees or ecology constraints affect the scope?
They can affect the scope and timing. Send any existing approvals, survey information or ecology information with the enquiry so we can quote for the documented work.
