Effective, Low-Impact Rhododendron Clearance Across Lancashire

Rhododendron ponticum may look beautiful in bloom, but as an invasive shrub, it poses a serious threat to woodlands, heathlands, and green spaces across Lancashire.

Left unchecked, it forms dense thickets that smother native plants, reduce biodiversity, and even spread plant diseases such as Phytophthora.

Lancashire’s wet and mild climate provides ideal conditions for rhododendrons to thrive, making professional clearance essential.

Without proper management, rhododendron can overrun large areas of woodland, and wetland , impacting wildlife, vegetation, and the health of your land.

That’s why estates, trusts, and land managers across Lancashire are choosing Treeclear UK for rhododendron clearance; the smart, long-term solution for preserving green spaces.

Why Rhododendron Clearance is Important

Rhododendron grows rapidly and aggressively, choking out native plants, trees, and flowers.

The ecological impacts include:

Loss of habitat and food sources for insects and animals
Reduced growth of native vegetation
Damage to woodlands, heathlands, and farmland
Long-term challenges for land management and conservation

By removing rhododendrons efficiently and safely, Treeclear UK helps your green spaces thrive and restores the natural balance of your land.

Rhododendron Clearance Services in Lancashire

Treeclear UK offers a range of professional methods, tailored to the size, density, and location of rhododendron infestations, as well as ground conditions.

Low Ground Pressure (LGP) Excavators

Our lightweight, purpose-built LGP excavators minimise disturbance to natural habitats. They operate effectively on soft, boggy ground, protecting surrounding vegetation while clearing dense rhododendrons.

Specialist Mulching Heads

We’ve engineered disc and drum mulching heads specifically for dense woody plants like rhododendron. These attachments deliver high output, quickly reducing overgrown areas to a tidy mulch layer.

Tracked Carriers

Our lightweight but robust tracked carriers are equipped with either a 3-metre twin disc or 2.7-metre drum mulching head. They provide efficient, large-scale clearance across varied terrain, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Mechanical Clearance Benefits

Mechanical flailing is a fast, cost-effective solution for dense rhododendrons. It leaves a mulch layer that not only tidies the site but also supports the return of native species such as mosses and ferns.

Follow-Up Control

Our unique method of mulching eradicates rhododendron much more effectively than other methods , greatly reducing the amount of regrowth therefore reducing the amount of follow up treatment required. However, it’s not uncommon that some regrowth may occur. Treeclear UK can provide ongoing treatment and site management if required.

- Will Livesley

I have used TreeClear UK as contractors for the last nine years and have always been really impressed with their service and approach to each job. Anthony Lambert and his team bring extensive knowledge and experience that is applied with diligence to difficult work sites. The use of their low ground pressure tracked machines on peat mires leave very little impact on sensitive vegetation. Their bespoke mulching equipment has efficiently dealt with really dense stands of rhododendron and regenerated Sitka spruce, reducing material to a manageable chip mat. Our landowners and other clients have been extremely pleased with the end result. I would always recommend TreeClear UK for clearance work on sensitive tree/shrub clearance sites.

- Marcus

Treeclear removed trees, scrub and rhododendron during the winters of 2021/22 and 2022/23 at on of our National Nature Reserves. They delivered an excellent service; competent, practical and efficient on a complex and hazardous site. Their understanding of the difficulties in working on a raised bog and their expert use of specialist equipment was integral to the successful delivery of the project which has allowed us to restore key parts of the habitat to benefit biodiversity and help reduce CO2 emissions.
