Site Clearance Nottingham
Site, Land & Tree Clearance in Nottingham
Active Site Clearance provides site clearance across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire for developers, contractors, landowners and local authorities. We clear trees, vegetation, scrub, roots and stumps, remove spoil, concrete, slabs and structures, and leave the site level and ready for landscaping, development or construction. We also carry out vegetation clearance in Nottingham, removing overgrown scrub, brambles, hedges and self-seeded trees ahead of development or landscaping.
Our expertise lies in large-scale industrial and commercial site, land and tree clearance projects. Our qualified, CSCS-carded teams, with suitable plant and machinery, travel from our Lancashire base to sites in Nottingham and across the East Midlands.
Our Process
Upon clearing a piece of land, we arrange the most efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable disposal or recycling of the product or waste we produce.
We can chip, shred, or mulch tree and vegetation material, enabling its use to enrich the site’s topsoil, or export and recycle it as biomass material.
Irrespective of the land type we clear or the waste we remove, you can trust that the resulting site will be clear, level, and fully prepared for any construction, development, or landscaping project.
Machinery
We employ high-powered machinery to ensure prompt and efficient land clearance services that adhere to project schedules.
When mulching vegetation, we leave your site ready for groundwork. In most cases, the mulched material is either incorporated into the topsoil or scraped up and stockpiled on-site for export or used as a mulching medium.
Working in Nottingham
Nottingham’s mix of city-centre redevelopment, former industrial land and canal-side plots often means clearing sites with existing structures, made ground or restricted access. We plan each project around access, waste routes and your programme, and can arrange ecological surveys or land testing where a site needs them. Where trees are involved, we can advise on Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area consent with the relevant council.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Site clearance is the process of preparing land so it is ready for construction, development, or other use. It involves the removal of all unwanted material from a site, including vegetation, trees, scrub, rubble, and contaminated ground, leaving a clean, safe, and accessible plot. At Active Site Clearance, we manage every aspect of this process, so you have one experienced contractor from start to finish.
Our site clearance services cover a wide range of works, including vegetation and scrub clearance, tree and woodland clearance, tree stump removal, demolition of existing structures, invasive weed treatment (including Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed), contaminated land testing and remediation, and the removal of hazardous, liquid, and general waste materials.
The cost depends on the size and access of the site, the type and volume of vegetation, trees or structures to be removed, whether contamination or invasive weeds are present, and how much waste has to be taken off site. After we have discussed your project, and visited the site where needed, we provide a detailed fee proposal so you know what is included before work begins.
A small plot can be cleared in a matter of days, while a large or complex site may take several weeks. Timescales depend on the size of the site, ground conditions, access, and whether ecological surveys, tree protection or waste testing need to happen first. We agree a programme with you at quote stage so the clearance fits around your construction or development schedule.
Yes. Vegetation clearance is part of our site clearance service in Nottingham, covering scrub, brambles, overgrown grass, hedges and self-seeded trees. We can combine it with tree and land clearance, and we provide a prompt fee proposal once we know your site details. See our vegetation clearance page for more.
We clear brownfield and greenfield development sites, industrial and commercial plots, canal-side and utility land, and privately owned land across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Whether it is a small plot or a large multi-hectare site, we have the equipment and experience to deliver.
We work with a broad range of clients, including property developers, main contractors, civil engineering companies, consultants, architects, local authorities, landowners, and utilities companies. We are equally comfortable working directly for private clients or as part of a larger project supply chain.
Yes. Invasive weeds such as Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed require specialist treatment and cannot simply be cut back or buried. We provide compliant treatment and removal programmes, including the production of a Knotweed Management Plan where required by lenders or planning authorities. All waste is disposed of in accordance with current legislation.
Yes. Where contamination is identified, we can arrange land testing and surveying before works start, then carry out on-site remediation to make the land safe. You can read more about our contaminated land and contaminated land testing services.
We aim to handle all material as sustainably as possible. Vegetation and timber can be chipped on-site and used as a mulch or incorporated into topsoil. Larger timber arising from tree clearance can be transported for use as biomass fuel. All waste streams are managed in accordance with current waste legislation, and we can provide appropriate documentation and waste transfer notes.
It depends on the site. Protected trees, including those in conservation areas or covered by a Tree Preservation Order, may need consent from Nottingham City Council or the relevant local council before they are removed. An ecological survey may be needed if the site could support protected species, and certain waste materials need a licensed carrier. We can advise on what your particular site needs.
Yes. Our operatives hold the relevant CSCS cards for the work they carry out, and our arboricultural team are qualified and experienced in tree surgery and clearance. We hold full public liability insurance and the waste carrier licences required for our work.
We cover Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, working from our base in Leyland, Lancashire. We also carry out site clearance in Derby, Derbyshire, Leicester, Sheffield and Staffordshire. If your site is elsewhere, please get in touch.
Yes. We are happy to visit a site, assess the scope of work, and advise on the most practical and cost-effective approach to clearance. We can also continue to offer consultancy support after the clearance is complete, particularly where ongoing land management or remediation monitoring is required.
