Invasive alien plants are non-native species that have a negative impact on the environment, economy, or human health. Clearing these plants is an important service that helps restore ecosystems by removing the invasive species and allowing native plants to thrive. This may involve manual removal, herbicide application, or a combination of techniques depending on the specific situation.
Wood chipping refers to the process of converting tree branches, trunks and other woody vegetation into small wood chips. This service is commonly used for recycling or repurposing wood waste. Wood chips can be used for various purposes, such as landscaping, mulching, biomass fuel production, or composting.
Firewood production involves preparing and supplying wood that is suitable for burning in fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, or other heating applications. This service typically includes sourcing, cutting, splitting and seasoning the firewood to ensure it meets quality and safety standards. Properly processed firewood ensures efficient burning and helps prevent chimney fires and smoke pollution.
