Land clearance, stump removal and woodland maintenance demand the right machine for the material you are dealing with. If you are searching for forestry equipment hire near me in Reading, our Winnersh depot stocks chippers, stump grinders, log splitters and mulchers. Call 0118 979 2828.
Forestry Equipment Available to Hire
Your Winnersh depot stocks 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 efficiently.
Full specifications for the complete forestry equipment range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Matching Equipment to the Clearance Task
Specify the right machine by knowing the stump diameter, log diameter, site access and what you want to do with the resulting material. Stump grinding works best before the surrounding area is mulched — grind stumps first, then chip brash in a second pass.
Chipping brash on site significantly reduces the volume of material for disposal and avoids skip hire costs. For combined clearance operations, plan the machine sequence before mobilising. Call 0118 979 2828 with the clearance details and we will confirm the right equipment.

What to Expect When You Hire Forestry Equipment
Forestry equipment hire starts with a conversation about what you are clearing and what result you want. Call 0118 979 2828 and describe the task. We will confirm the right machine, safety requirements and transport arrangements. Larger machines — tow-behind chippers and commercial stump grinders — require a towing vehicle or delivery by trailer.
Why Hire Forestry Equipment from Coppard?
You are not calling a national hire desk. When you call 0118 979 2828, you speak to someone at the Winnersh depot who can advise on the right machine for your clearance task. For large projects also requiring earthmoving plant — excavators, dumpers, tracked carriers — combined hire from a single account simplifies logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions — Forestry Equipment Hire
Do I need permission to clear trees in Berkshire?
Trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order cannot be felled without consent. Trees in a Conservation Area require notification. Check with Wokingham Borough Council, Reading Borough Council or the relevant local authority before proceeding.
What size chipper do I need for garden branches?
For branches up to 75mm diameter, a compact tow-behind chipper is sufficient. For larger branches or commercial volumes, a more powerful machine is required. Tell us the maximum diameter and we will recommend the right chipper.
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 go on the same account from the Winnersh depot. For combined clearance, we will confirm the right sequence and transport.
