On-site chipping turns mountains of brash and brushwood into manageable wood chip in minutes. Whether it's the arisings from a tree job, hedge trimmings, storm waste or general garden clearance, we'll bring a professional chipper, process the lot and either leave the chip for mulch or take it away. Our chipper takes material up to 6 inches diameter (150mm), reducing the volume of brash by approximately 90%. A morning's worth of tree work brash typically chips in 30–60 minutes. Available as standalone service (you've felled, you need it cleared) or as standard inclusion with our other tree work. ### Who It's For - Anyone with brash and brushwood needing reduction - Other tree firms needing chipper support - Sites preparing chip for mulching or biomass - Smallholders and farms with seasonal arisings ### When It's Needed - Tree work has produced large volumes of brash - Hedge trimmings need processing - Storm clearance is producing chip-sized waste - Site needs mulch produced from existing material ## What Happens If You Leave It Bonfires for tree waste are illegal in many residential areas, generate complaints and risk fire-service charges. Skips are slow to fill (brash is mostly air) and expensive per cubic metre. Chipping is faster, cleaner and produces a useful product. DIY garden chippers handle 1–2" maximum — they choke on anything realistic and take all weekend. Professional 6" chippers reduce a tree-sized job in under an hour. ## Our 5-Step Process 01 ### Free Site Inspection We visit, listen and assess access, hazards and surrounding structures before quoting a single penny. 02 ### Written Diagnosis & Quote You get a clear scope of works, fixed price and method statement — usually within 24 hours of the visit. 03 ### Scheduled Visit We agree a date that suits you, confirm the day before and arrive on time with the right kit and crew. 04 ### Safe Execution Risk assessments and permits handled.

Chip from conifer species (softwood) breaks down faster and is better suited to woodland paths or rougher mulch applications. Mixed-species chip from general arisings is fine for footpaths, garden beds, animal bedding and biomass fuel. ### Health & Safety With Chippers Chipper operations are amongst the highest-risk activities in arboriculture. We follow the Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA) safety guides — minimum two operators, exclusion zones marked, no loose clothing, gloves prohibited near feed, and infeed bed kept clear at all times. Every job is covered by £1m Public Liability Insurance and carried out under method statements and risk assessments tailored to your site. ## Chipping Services — Frequently Asked Questions What size material can you chip?+Up to 6 inches (150mm) diameter; larger pieces processed by chainsaw first.
