A clear scope for the work
A marked site sketch helps distinguish plants to remove from those to keep. Include whether small woody growth, existing stumps and branch waste are part of the request. This enquiry is for a specific property scope; broad land clearing or development work needs separate capability and approval checks.
What shapes your quote
The number and size of trees, access between them and total material volume shape the quote. Consider how the site will be left between tree work and landscaping. Grinding stumps, removing chips, excavating roots and making levels suitable for construction should not be treated as one automatic inclusion.
Before the site visit
Photograph the garden in sections and make a numbered list that matches the images. Share the next-stage plan, access limits and proposed sequence with other trades. Confirm any approval requirements and retain-tree protection before arranging removal.
Questions about garden tree clearing.
Can I keep some trees in the cleared area?
Yes. Mark retained trees clearly in the enquiry and ask how access and material handling will be planned around them.
Does this include preparing a building pad?
No building preparation is assumed. If that is your goal, explain the plans so the required tree, excavation and construction scopes can be assessed separately.
