What Forestry Equipment Do You Need?
Wood chippers reduce branches, brash and small timber to chip for composting, mulching or removal. Stump grinders cut tree stumps below ground level so the area can be built on, landscaped or replanted. Log splitters process felled timber into firewood-sized pieces.
Estates and farms across Corsham, Bradford-on-Avon and the Bath fringe regularly need tree clearance alongside listed buildings and boundary walls. Development sites across Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes often require stump removal before foundations can start. Call 01380 828988 and describe your project.
Forestry Equipment Hire Range
Development site clearance across Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes regularly involves removing mature trees and processing the timber. Stump grinding below ground level is essential before foundations, driveways or landscaping can begin. On estates around Corsham, Bradford-on-Avon and Bath, tree management alongside listed buildings requires care — stump grinding near roots that underpin walls needs a controlled approach. The best method depends on the stump size, species and proximity to structures.
The Melksham depot stocks wood chippers from garden-scale to large commercial machines, stump grinders for domestic and construction use, and log splitters for processing felled timber.
Grind stumps before mulching the surrounding area — grinding works best on a clear surface without loose chip around the base.
Full specifications for the complete forestry equipment range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Forestry Equipment Hire Across Wiltshire and Bath
Stump grinders come in compact pedestrian models for domestic gardens and larger self-propelled machines for development sites. The grinder cuts the stump 150mm to 300mm below ground level — deep enough for turfing, paving or planting over. On sites where tree preservation orders apply, check with the local authority before grinding. Wood chippers range from compact garden models taking branches up to 75mm diameter through to commercial machines handling branches up to 200mm. Larger machines are trailer-mounted and need vehicle access.
Smaller items can be collected from the Melksham depot on a trailer. Larger chippers and grinders require delivery.
