PBL are specialist contractors offering a NO BURN TREE CLEARANCE service using commercial scale cost effective equipment. PBL has over 22 years experience of whole tree chipping on a commercial scale and over 10 years experience of mulching.

Woodland and Heathland Clearance
An in-house team specialise in the rapid clearance of all parts of all trees from sites without burning. Mature trees are conventionally felled for timber. Whole trees up to 600mm diameter, branches and tops are chipped at stump using 370hp grab fed mobile chippers. Chipped material can be removed from site immediately as Fuel Chip or composted on site for future use as mulch.

Waste Timber, Scrub and Small Trees
Timber of any size, brash, vegetation and roots that have not been chipped or sold as timber can be mulched using one of the company's 400hp German built tracked mulchers. The mulch arising are either worked into the ground or can be removed. This new equipment eliminates the need to grub up and transport material to a static grinder and the mulched arisings can be incorporated into the topsoil as humus thus eliminating the need for removal from site and high landfill costs.

Tree Stumps
Tree Stumps of any size are either ground in situ or can be grubbed up and mulched where removal of side roots is also required. Both methods offer quick and cost effective means of stump removal on any size of project.

Tree Surgery
Practicality Brown offers a comprehensive range of tree surgery services to complement its tree clearance operations when required.
