Practical Treatments to Manage and Prepare Your Land
Our chemical spraying and land preparation services are designed to control unwanted growth, support replanting, and maintain land in a safe, compliant way.
Every treatment is selected based on site conditions, timing, and long-term land use — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Amenity & Invasive Weed Spraying
Targeted treatment for weeds such as bracken, ragwort, and other invasive growth, carried out using approved products and methods suited to the site and surrounding environment.
Flail Mowing
Mechanical cutting to control heavy growth, manage rough ground, and prepare sites for follow-up treatment or access — ideal for tracks, verges, and open land.
Ground Preparation for Replanting
Pre-planting clearance and treatment to reduce competition from weeds and give new trees or planting schemes the best possible start.
Repeat Treatment & Ongoing Maintenance
Follow-up visits and repeat applications where required to ensure effective control over time, particularly for persistent or fast-regrowing vegetation.
Licensed & Compliant Application
All spraying is carried out by trained, insured operators using approved products, in line with regulations and environmental guidance.

Our Chemical Spraying & Land Preparation Process
Effective spraying and land preparation rely on timing, product choice, and site awareness.
Our process is designed to ensure treatments are carried out safely, responsibly, and in line with regulations — delivering results without unnecessary impact on the land or surrounding environment.
Site Review & Assessment
We assess the site conditions, type of growth, access, and surrounding features such as watercourses or neighbouring land. This allows us to determine the most appropriate treatment method and timing before any work begins.
Treatment Planning
Based on the assessment, we select the correct product, application method, and programme of works. Where repeat treatments are likely to be required, we plan these in advance to achieve effective long-term control.
Preparation Works (if required)
Where necessary, we carry out flail mowing, mulching, or light clearance to prepare the area for spraying or future planting. This helps improve treatment effectiveness and site access.
Licensed Application
Spraying is carried out by trained, insured operators using approved equipment and products. All work is completed in line with regulations, manufacturer guidance, and environmental best practice.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Maintenance
For persistent or fast-regrowing vegetation, we can return for follow-up treatments or maintenance visits. This ensures control is maintained and the land remains ready for its intended use.
