Site Clearance Services

Our Expertise

At Oz Group Contracting, we offer expert site clearance solutions backed by decades of experience in commercial construction, forestry, and ecological management. From greenfield sites to urban brownfield developments, we deliver fast, professional results, ensuring your project gets off to a clean, compliant, and sustainable start.

Mechanised Site Clearance

We pride ourselves on delivering high-volume clearance with minimal disruption. Our modern, mechanised fleet allows us to clear sites faster and more safely than traditional manual methods. By using our own equipment and keeping a dedicated team on-site from start to finish, we ensure:

  • Clear lines of communication
  • Consistent standards and safety practices
  • Reduced project delays or miscommunication
  • Lower costs through reduced subcontracting

Our services cover everything from vegetation clearance and tree removal to ground-level stump and root removal, and a soil strip.

Full Environmental Compliance

As environmental regulations around land clearance tighten, it is more important than ever to partner with a contractor who understands compliance from the ground up. Oz Group Contracting offers an environmental clearance package, ensuring all ecological and arboricultural obligations are met before clearance begins.

Our integrated services include the following:

Ecological Services:

  • Initial ecological site walkover and habitat assessment
  • Coordination with licensed ecologists for species surveys (e.g., bats, birds, reptiles)
  • Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA) and mitigation strategies
  • On-site supervision during clearance (ECoW) where required

Arboricultural Services:

  • Full Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA) and Method Statements (AMS)
  • Tree condition surveys and categorisation
  • Guidance on tree retention, removal, and replacement
  • Installation of BS5837-compliant tree protection fencing

Planning and Conservation Compliance:

  • Tree Preservation Order (TPO) checks
  • Conservation Area assessments
  • Liaison with local planning authorities where necessary
  • Protection of veteran trees, hedgerows, and other high-value ecological features

Our team understands how to balance clearance efficiency with the sensitivity required by environmental and planning laws.

Safety First, Always

  • Safety is our highest priority. All site operations are carried out under:
  • Strict risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
  • Full PPE compliance and equipment certifications
  • Ongoing training and upskilling of all team members in line with industry best practice

Our operatives hold relevant industry certifications (e.g., CSCS, NPORS, Lantra), and we are committed to ongoing retraining as standards evolve.

Who We Work With

We regularly deliver site clearance services for:

  • Main contractors on infrastructure and civil engineering projects
  • Property developers preparing residential or commercial plots
  • Architects and planning consultants needing pre-construction compliance
  • Local authorities and utility providers managing public land or assets
  • Forestry and agricultural clients transitioning land for development or restoration

No matter the scale or complexity, we bring the tools, experience, and environmental understanding to deliver.

  • “Team of Really Lovely Chaps”

    Oz Group are a team of really lovely chaps. Once they finished with our trees, they spent the next hour clearing so thoroughly that it looked like we had a landscaper in for the day. Thanks for your work, chaps, and see you again next year when the trees need attention again. All the best.
