Price Lot Clearing

Let's take a closer look at how we figure out the cost of clearing lots in Rotherham. There are quite a few things that influence the price, so let's break them down one by one:

First, we have to think about how much work there is to do. If there are a lot of trees or they're really big, it means there's more work to be done. And more work means it'll cost more money. It's like when you have more chores to do at home – it takes more time and effort.

Then, we need to think about the condition of the trees. If they're old, sick, or have bugs living in them, it makes the job harder. Dealing with these kinds of trees takes extra time and care, which means it'll cost more. It's like trying to fix a broken toy – it takes more tools and patience.

Next up, we have to consider any dangers around the trees. If their branches are hanging over power lines or buildings, or if they're at risk of falling and causing damage, we have to be extra careful. Keeping everyone safe is really important, but it also means we might need to spend more time and money to do the job safely. It's like making sure everyone wears a helmet when they ride a bike – it's for their own good, but it takes extra time to make sure everyone is safe.

Lastly, we need to think about how easy it is to get to the trees. If we can easily get to them with our trucks and equipment, it makes the job quicker and cheaper. But if we have to climb over fences or through thick bushes to reach them, it'll take longer and cost more. It's like trying to find your way through a maze – if there are lots of twists and turns, it'll take longer to get to the end.

So, when we figure out the cost of clearing lots in Rotherham, we consider how much work there is, the condition of the trees, any dangers around them, and how easy it is to get to them. Each of these things adds up to give you a fair price for the job.

Every job we take on is unique, like its own puzzle, so there might be some extra things to consider when we're working out the price. While we've got some ballpark figures to guide us, they're not set in stone. Think of them more like helpful hints than strict rules.

When it comes to getting you a price, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve:

First, you can send us some pictures or videos of the job, along with a quick description of what you need. Sometimes, that's all we need to give you a rough estimate of the cost.

But sometimes, we need to roll up our sleeves and get up close and personal with the trees. None of that half-hearted peeking from a distance – we're talking about getting right in there to see what we're dealing with. That way, we can give you an accurate idea of what needs to be done.

Once we've had a good chat with the trees and scoped out the scene, we'll put together a proper written quote for you. None of this scribbling on the back of a napkin – we'll lay it all out nice and clear. You'll know exactly what we're planning to do, when we'll do it, and how much it'll cost. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Now, armed with that quote, the ball's in your court. If you're ready to get started, just say the word – we're ready when you are. But if the price isn't quite right for you, no worries – we won't take it personally. We're here to help, not to pressure you into anything.

Just give us a shout, and we'll schedule a time to swing by and have a chat about what needs to be done. And don't worry, that visit won't cost you a penny – it's on the house. Sound good? 👍

Here are ten detailed tips for clearing a lot of trees:

Know Your Trees: Different tree types grow differently and need different clearing methods. Before you start, learn about the trees you're dealing with – how they grow, what they need, and when to clear them.

Use the Right Tools: Make sure you have the right tools for the job. You'll need sharp pruning shears for smaller branches, loppers for thicker ones, and a pruning saw for the big ones. Keep your tools clean and sharp to make clean cuts and avoid damaging the trees.

Spot Dead or Sick Branches: Start by finding and removing any dead, sick, or damaged branches. These branches can attract bugs and diseases, which can harm the trees. Cut these branches just outside the branch collar, where they meet the trunk or another branch.

Clear for Structure: When clearing young trees, focus on making them strong and well-balanced. Get rid of branches that are competing, crossing over each other, or growing towards the middle of the tree. Cut to an outward-facing bud or branch to encourage growth outward.

Keep Tree Health in Mind: Don't clear too much – it can stress the trees out and make them more likely to get sick or have bug problems. Try not to remove more than 25% of the tree's leaves in one go. Spread the clearing out over a few years if you need to.

Timing is Important: Clear deciduous trees when they're not growing, usually in late winter or early spring. Avoid clearing during active growth periods, as it can make the trees sprout too much and lose sap. Clear flowering trees just after they bloom to keep next year's flowers safe.

Be Careful with Cuts: When cutting big branches, make sure to cut just outside the branch collar – that's the swollen part where the branch meets the trunk or another branch. Cutting too close to the trunk can hurt the tree and slow down healing.

Step Back and Look: Take breaks to step back and look at the trees as you clear them. Aim for a natural-looking group of trees with evenly spaced branches and good airflow. Avoid making the trees look like "lion's tails" or "lollipops" – with all the leaves just at the ends of long, bare branches.

Keep an Eye on Growth: Watch how the trees grow back after you clear them to make sure they keep their shape and structure. Check for new branches that rub against each other or cross over and fix them early to avoid problems later.

Safety First: Clearing trees can be dangerous, especially with big branches or power tools. Always wear safety gear like gloves, safety glasses, and a helmet. If you're working on tall trees or near power lines, it's safest to hire a professional to do the job.
