Common questions
How much does commercial tree felling cost?
Commercial felling is usually priced by the day, at around £1,200 to £2,500 per day for a crew and machine. These are indicative 2026 ranges published by a South East England forestry contractor, for budgeting only.
How much does it cost to clear an acre of land?
Scrub and bramble clearance runs about £1,200 to £4,000+ an acre, and development site clearance £3,000 to £12,000+ an acre. Light scrub mulched in a single pass sits at the lower end; dense woodland with large trees and stumps sits at the top.
Can selling the timber reduce the bill?
Yes. Where there is saleable timber, a contractor may buy it standing or offset its value against the quote. Woodland thinning, at about £800 to £2,500 per hectare, is one job where timber value may offset the cost.
What should I check before hiring a forestry contractor?
Check the quote covers haulage, tip fees and the felling licence — in Wales, felling licences are issued by Natural Resources Wales. Also check the crew hold NPTC certificates and work to Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA) standards.
