Land clearance, stump removal and woodland maintenance demand the right machine for the material you are dealing with — standing timber, felled brash, root systems, stumps or dense scrub. If you are searching for forestry equipment hire near me in Surrey, our Godstone depot stocks chippers, stump grinders and mulchers. Call 01883 743 322.
Forestry Equipment Available to Hire
Our forestry range includes wood chippers, stump grinders, log splitters and forestry mulchers. Chippers range from compact tow-behind models for garden trees to larger machines for commercial clearance. Stump grinders remove stumps below ground level for re-turfing or building. Log splitters process cut timber for firewood.
Full specifications for our complete forestry equipment range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Matching the Equipment to the Clearance Task
Specify the right machine by knowing the stump diameter, log diameter, site access and intended use of the resulting material. Stump grinding works best before the surrounding area is mulched — grind stumps first, then chip brash in a second pass.
Call 01883 743 322 with the clearance details and we will confirm the appropriate equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions — Forestry Equipment Hire
Do I need permission to clear trees in Surrey?
Trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order cannot be felled without consent. Trees in a Conservation Area require notification. Check with Tandridge District Council, Reigate and Banstead Borough Council or the relevant local authority before proceeding.
What should I consider before hiring forestry equipment?
The right forestry equipment will depend on the type and density of vegetation, tree or stump size, terrain, gradients, ground conditions and access available. Wet or sensitive ground may need lighter or tracked machinery, while steep or restricted sites can limit which machines can work safely and effectively. The Forestry Commission explains why access, ground protection and careful operational planning matter in its guidance on sustainable forestry and responsible timber harvesting. Tell Coppard’s Godstone team what needs clearing, the approximate area and any access or ground restrictions, and they can recommend suitable forestry machinery for the job.
Can a stump grinder handle large stumps?
Yes, though time increases with diameter. Large oak or beech stumps of 500mm and above can take several hours. The grinder removes material in layers. Discuss large stumps with us before booking.
What can I do with the wood chip?
Use as mulch on garden beds, spread on paths for drainage, or collect for removal. Fresh green chip is best composted before use as mulch. Dry chip from seasoned timber can be used immediately.
Can I hire a chipper and stump grinder together?
Yes. Both can go on the same account from our Godstone depot. For combined clearance jobs, we will confirm the right sequence and transport arrangements.
