Land clearing and fire prevention
Undergrowth, firebreaks and dead trees, cleared between October and March.
What we clear
We look at the plot first and tell you what needs clearing and what can stay.
- Brushcutting and undergrowth clearance
- Firebreaks around the house and along the access road
- Pine branches lifted up from the ground
- Dead and dangerous trees taken down
- Green waste shredded on site or taken away
Native plants worth keeping — savina, wild olive, rosemary — stay. Clearance, brushcutting and firebreaks explained →
Dead and dangerous trees
We take trees down with forestry chainsaws and climbing and rigging gear, so a tree close to a house comes down in sections, on ropes.
For any tree removal we apply for the permit. Undergrowth clearance, brushcutting and light pruning don't need one.
We take the wood away or stack it on site, as you prefer.

Green waste
We shred branches on site with our own shredders and leave the chips as mulch where they are useful. Where they aren't, we load the waste onto our trucks and take it away.
October to March
Clearance is done before the dry season, not during it. October to March is the time for it.
A cleared plot grows back. Brushcutting a few times a year keeps it clear once the first clearance is done.
