Clearing Green Spaces

Brush clearance safety: There’s no better way of fighting fires than by clearing away undergrowth. Maintaining green spaces is one of the fundamental actions for protecting the environment and human installations against fire.

Clearing Green Spaces to combat forest fires

We respect and apply the legal requirements for Clearing Green Spaces. Recommendations from the Office National des Forêts help you apply current regulations. Brush clearance must be performed to a depth of 50 meters around dwellings, and in the event of a local forest fire risk prevention plan, this depth can be increased to 100 m.

Selective undergrowth clearance consists in creating a discontinuity in the vegetation by removing undergrowth and reducing the density of trees and shrubs, while preserving noble or rare species. Effective forest fire prevention requires Clearing Green Spaces in accordance with FFP (Forest Fire Protection) standards.

Maintaining trails, forest paths, and rural roads is an essential part of fire prevention, as it facilitates access and mobility in forest areas and enables faster intervention by the emergency services.

Don’t forget to prune or cut back your trees as an additional measure of protection against summer fires.

Vegetation clearing prices

To get an idea of the price and rate of brush clearing without wasting time, we invite you to give us as much information as possible about your land, by telephone call or contact via our form: – Type of vegetation or scrub – The location and relief of the plot to be cleared – A resumption of clearing or an opening (virgin land to be cleared for the first time) – The surface of the land to be cleaned. This allows us to define the price range for the intervention. And our meeting at the work site will be well prepared and useful. And precisely, to establish a precise estimate, in line with the quantity and difficulty of the work to be done, we prefer to meet you and discuss at the location of the intervention: land, garden, forestry, plot. The prices excluding tax (excluding taxes) that we generally charge:

– 0.15 € /m2 (square meter): Mowing and shredding green or dry grass, which can be carried out with thermal brushcutters, with nylon line cutting heads.
– 0.25 € /m2: Cutting and grinding of brush consisting mainly of woody vegetation and bushes with trunks. This requires the use of the Steel Metal Knife.
– 0.50 € / m2: Generally OPEN clearing, i.e. land that is being cleared for the first time. Cutting and grinding all kinds of brush, including shrubs whose diameter (measured 1 m from the ground) does not exceed 10 cm).

The cutting of trees whose diameter exceeds 10 cm is subject to Felling Rates. Call on our services for all types of clearing and all terrain: Clearing a wasteland. Clearing a path. Weeding of land.

Manual Clearing Green Spaces

Manual vegetation clearing involves Clearing Green Spaces of all types of terrain using manual thermal brush cutters. This method has the advantage of being selective and precise, allowing access to difficult areas such as steep slopes, embankments, and the edges of busy roads. This service includes the following tasks:

Clearing undergrowth
Pruning dry or dead branches
Shredding unwanted branches

The aim is to prevent forest fires while preserving the environment.

In addition to clearing undergrowth on private or shared land of any size, we also offer our expertise in cleaning up embankments and banks that are difficult to access:

Cleaning road embankments and steeply sloping paths
River cleaning
Acrobatic cleaning of inaccessible slopes

Pruning trees at human height provides a vertical break, while spacing trees and shrubs creates a horizontal break. Branches and slash are shredded on site.

Clearing vegetations, an action to protect the environment

Our company’s environmental policy is based on controlling environmental aspects and guaranteeing compliance with customer, legal, and regulatory requirements at all times. For every Clearing Green Spaces project, we operate with the utmost rigor, seriousness, and commitment, always striving for ongoing improvement and evolution:

Use of modern, advanced, high-performance manual machines designed to optimize respect for nature.
The shredding of vegetation at the clearing site creates a mulch that protects the soil from erosion, drying out, and temperature variations. The decomposition of these residues nourishes the soil, helping to perpetuate the cycle of life.
Collaboration with environmental authorities.

Clearing and felling before construction work

Our company carries out brush clearing and tree felling work in preparation for new construction. To make way for the construction of your future home or building, and to preserve as many trees and plants as possible, especially rare species, it’s often a good idea to start by selectively clearing the undergrowth. This will enable you to see clearly and draw the boundaries of the future building. The second phase is to identify and cut down any trees or shrubs that may stand in the way of the work.
Clearing and felling will free up the area of land dedicated to your project.
To avoid obstructing the machinery, and to allow access to the plot for the future house, it is preferable to prune the trees around the site.
The work of preparing the green space will be completed by cutting and arranging, or evacuating, the trunks. Branches can be shredded on site or transported to a landfill site.

More details on selective and manual clearing

Selective Clearing Green Spaces on the Côte d’Azur:

A crucial issue for the environment, Clearing Green Spaces using selective techniques has become an essential practice on the Côte d’Azur, a region where lush vegetation and fire risks are frequent. The selective cutting technique consists of targeting certain plant species or parts of plants to encourage the growth of vegetation that is less flammable and better adapted to the local ecosystem. By combining the preservation of biodiversity and the prevention of forest fires, Clearing Green Spaces through selective clearing is positioned as a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution.

Why is Clearing Green Spaces important?

The French Riviera, with its Mediterranean climate, is particularly vulnerable to fires during hot, dry months. Mechanical clearing, often carried out intensively, can damage soils, reduce biodiversity, and affect local ecosystems. On the other hand, Clearing Green Spaces with selective methods aims to minimize these negative impacts while ensuring effective protection against fires. (See our brush clearing prices above).

Selective brush clearing techniques

Use of lightweight and portable thermal brushcutters: This allows for Clearing Green Spaces by cutting and crushing weeds while sparing rare species. This method controls vegetation naturally and avoids heavy machinery.
Manual clearing: Often accompanying selective clearing, manual clearing uses tools such as pruners and branch cutters, allowing more precise and respectful management of vegetation while avoiding disturbance to soil and natural habitats.
Plant shredding: Used responsibly, on-site shredding of slash transforms cutting residue into mulch, enriching the soil and reducing green waste.

Advantages of selective brush clearing

Preservation of biodiversity: Unlike intensive methods, selective clearing maintains a natural balance, protecting endemic species and promoting the diversity of flora and fauna.
Soil protection: These techniques limit erosion and promote water infiltration, contributing to soil fertility and moisture retention.
Fire risk reduction: By eliminating excess fuels while respecting the natural landscape, these methods effectively reduce fire risks.
Education and awareness: Engaging local communities and landowners in Clearing Green Spaces practices promotes better understanding and greater environmental responsibility.

Conclusion

Selective Clearing Green Spaces on the Côte d’Azur represents a significant step forward towards sustainable and environmentally friendly land management. By adopting these methods, we not only protect our landscapes and natural habitats, but also help keep local communities safe from fire risks. The Côte d’Azur, a jewel of biodiversity and natural beauty, deserves a land management approach that honors and preserves its wealth for future generations. Selective compensation is one of the keys to achieving this goal.
