Vegetation Management &
Site Clearance
We recognise the importance of maintaining shrubbery and vegetation to ensure sites remain safe, functional, and visually appealing for visitors.
​
At Bowman Arboriculture, we specialise in the treatment, control, and eradication of problematic vegetation, including invasive species like Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed. Our comprehensive vegetation management solutions range from mechanical removal and reduction to targeted chemical treatments, tailored to address specific challenges effectively.
​
In addition to vegetation management, we offer professional site clearance services for domestic, commercial, and industrial projects. Whether you need an overgrown area cleared for development, an outdoor space prepared for landscaping, or a site made safe and accessible, our experienced team and advanced equipment ensure the job is done efficiently and to the highest standards.
​
Whether it’s railways, motorways, commercial properties, historic sites, or development projects, our team has the expertise to manage and eliminate unwanted vegetation, ensuring your site is well-maintained, free from invasive growth, and ready for its next purpose.
Stump Grinding
Bowman Arboriculture has the specialised equipment needed to efficiently remove tree stumps following the removal of a tree. This can be done either at the time the tree is felled or at a later date. The most effective method for stump removal is grinding, which cuts the stump below ground level. Our advanced machinery ensures a thorough job, preventing regrowth of shoots and eliminating any inconvenience caused by remaining roots.
​
Once a tree has been removed, stump removal is the final step to ensure it doesn’t grow back.
Whether you need one stump removed or several, we can handle it all in a single visit. We’re happy to provide stump grinding services either as part of a complete tree removal or as a standalone service for stumps left behind by previous work.

Hedge Works
Maintaining and tidying hedges is one of our specialties at Bowman Arboriculture. From coniferous to deciduous species, we ensure your hedges stay healthy, well-shaped, and enhance your property’s privacy and appearance.
​
The frequency of hedge trimming depends on the species - privet hedges are best trimmed during the growing season (May–September), while conifers often require more frequent attention. For hedge removals, whether to create more space, install a driveway, or replace dead growth, we provide efficient, year-round service.
​
We are always mindful of wildlife, especially during nesting season, and take every precaution to protect it. Our approach is simple: “Take off as much as possible without taking off too much – maintain privacy and keep a great shape.”
