Arboriculture & Site Clearance

Arboricultural Services

Murlac provides arboricultural and vegetation-management services for private estates, highways, infrastructure schemes, watercourses and environmental projects.

Our teams combine skilled operatives, specialist plant and practical site knowledge to carry out tree works, scrub clearance, hedge management and access preparation in difficult or environmentally sensitive locations.

More Than Tree Work


Arboricultural works often form part of a larger project rather than a standalone activity.

Trees, scrub and dense vegetation may need to be managed to create access, expose structures, prepare a construction area or protect the long-term condition of a site. The work may also need to account for public access, traffic management, retained habitats, watercourses and neighbouring infrastructure.

Murlac approaches these projects with the wider site in mind. We consider access, sequencing, environmental constraints, disposal of arisings and the requirements of the next phase of work before operations begin.

This allows arboriculture, vegetation clearance and site preparation to be delivered as one coordinated package.

PLANNED AROUND THE SITE

The Right Method For The Trees, Ground And Project

No two arboricultural sites are the same.

Murlac reviews these conditions before selecting the personnel, plant and working method. Where required, tree works can be coordinated with ecology, traffic management, temporary access, water control or the wider construction programme.

TREE CONDITION
The size, form and condition of the trees influence the working method and equipment.
SITE ACCESS
Ground conditions, available routes and space for plant are considered before mobilisation.
PUBLIC INTERFACE
Footpaths, roads, neighbours and site users are managed through clear controls.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Habitats, nesting birds, protected species and watercourses are considered early.
PROJECT SEQUENCING
Tree and vegetation works are coordinated with surveys, construction and reinstatement.
ARISINGS MANAGEMENT
Timber, chip and vegetation are processed, reused or removed through an agreed route.
