Question 1

What is low ground pressure forestry?

Accepted Answer

Low ground pressure forestry involves using specialised machinery designed to minimise soil compaction and surface disturbance during forestry operations. This is especially important for sensitive environments like peatlands, wetlands, and soft or waterlogged ground where traditional heavy machinery could cause lasting environmental damage. By using low-impact equipment, we help protect delicate ecosystems while delivering efficient, professional results.

Question 2

What types of forestry work can be done using LGP machinery?

Accepted Answer

Treeclear UK can carry out a wide range of activities using Low Ground Pressure (LGP) equipment, including tree clearance, stump removal, vegetation clearance, mulching, and site preparation, all while preserving the integrity of delicate landscapes. Each operation is carefully executed to minimise soil disturbance and protect sensitive ground conditions.

Question 3

Can you work on conservation or SSSI sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course, our low ground pressure solutions are ideal for conservation-sensitive areas, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), and we work in line with all regulatory and ecological guidelines. Our experienced team collaborates closely with landowners, conservation bodies, and regulatory authorities to ensure all work supports long-term site sustainability.

Question 4

Do you carry out surveys before starting work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we always conduct thorough site assessments before beginning any project. These assessments allow us to evaluate ground conditions, identify sensitive habitats or protected species, and understand the specific requirements.
