Vegetation Clearing
Vegetation clearing involves cutting and crushing weeds, brush, dead or dying trees and shrubs.
As part of forest fire prevention, clearing undergrowth is a legal obligation, regulated by prefectoral decree.
The aim of DAFF (defense against forest fires) brush clearance is to protect dwellings and other structures, minimize the risk of fire and facilitate firefighters’ intervention in the event of an incident.
Clearing land of undergrowth by deforestation, pruning and felling can also involve clearing land prior to construction or other development work.
Call on our skills and experience to carry out your undergrowth clearance work, and pay when you’re very satisfied!
Pruning and felling work
In addition to brush clearance, we offer tree pruning and felling services along the Côte d’Azur and surrounding areas. Tree pruning, which often goes hand in hand with brush clearance, is necessary when a hazard needs to be prevented, or when a tree’s development needs to be directed and limited to preserve its health and balance. Felling a tree involves cutting it off at the base to cause it to fall. We cut down a tree when it is diseased, or when it poses a safety problem or is in the way of a construction or other development project. Felling and pruning can be dangerous if the right precautions are not taken. These are situations that call for well-trained and experienced lumberjacks and tree pruners. They must also be covered by professional liability insurance.

Safety measures during Land clearing, Pruning and Felling work
When clearing, pruning and felling work, it is crucial to take safety precautions to prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment. Clearing, pruning and felling are demanding tasks that require special attention and the use of appropriate equipment. First, our professionals must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes safety helmets, protective glasses, gloves, safety shoes with non-slip soles and durable clothing. This equipment protects against falls, cuts and other potential injuries. Before beginning clearing, pruning and felling work, a risk assessment must be carried out. Identify potential hazards, such as unstable branches, uneven terrain, and nearby power lines. Plan the work accordingly to minimize risks. When clearing brush, we use appropriate tools such as brush cutters, chainsaws and shears. We make sure these tools are in good working order before using them properly. There must be at least two workers present on the site; having a colleague on site can be vital in an emergency. For pruning, we use stable and secure ladders. Never climb on a ladder without stabilizing it correctly and without being secured by a safety harness. When using chainsaws for pruning, we are aware of the dangers of heavy branches that can fall suddenly. Tree felling is a particularly dangerous task that requires professional expertise. This is why we necessarily use professional staff. Before we decide to proceed, we make sure we know safe felling techniques, such as creating a clear fall zone and corner cutting.
In conclusion, respecting safety precautions during clearing, pruning and felling work is essential to guarantee the safety of all those involved. We minimize risks and carry out the work safely by adopting safe practices and using appropriate equipment.
Insurance and policies required to carry out Brush Clearing, Pruning and Felling
During clearing, pruning and felling work, companies must take out specific insurance to guarantee their financial security and that of their customers. These insurance policies are crucial to cover the risks inherent in these dangerous activities. Here are the main insurances and policies required for companies operating in this sector.
First of all, professional indemnity insurance is essential. It covers bodily injury, property damage and consequential loss caused to third parties during felling, pruning and undergrowth clearance work. In the event of an accident, this insurance protects the company against any financial claims. In the event of an accident, this insurance protects the company against financial claims that could result.
Next, workers’ compensation insurance is mandatory to protect employees. It covers medical expenses, compensation for temporary or permanent incapacity and compensation in the event of death. Given the high risks associated with these activities, this insurance is vital to ensure the financial security of workers and their families.
Comprehensive construction site insurance is also recommended. It covers material damage occurring on site, whether due to fire, theft or natural disasters. This policy ensures that the business can continue its operations without suffering significant financial losses in the event of an unforeseen event.
Finally, ten-year insurance may be required for certain landscaping work, particularly if the pruning or felling work has an impact on the structure of surrounding buildings. This insurance covers damage that could affect the solidity of the work for ten years after completion of the work.

We use portable thermal machines
The Benefits of Doing Green Space Work with Portable Thermal Machines Green space work, such as clearing, pruning and felling, is essential for maintaining healthy gardens, parks and grounds. Using portable thermal machines for these tasks has many advantages, both for professionals and individuals.
1. Efficiency and Speed Portable thermal machines, such as brush cutters, pruners and thermal chainsaws, offer incomparable power compared to manual or electric tools. They allow clearing, pruning and felling work to be carried out much more quickly and efficiently. For example, a petrol brush cutter can easily cut through dense brush and tall grass in record time, which would be much more laborious with a manual tool.
2. Autonomy and Flexibility Unlike electric machines which depend on a power source, portable thermal machines run on gasoline. This provides increased autonomy and flexibility, allowing work in remote areas without access to electricity. For tree felling or pruning tasks in the forest, this independence is particularly advantageous.
3. Versatility Thermal machines are designed for a variety of tasks. A single thermal brush cutter can be equipped with different accessories to adapt to varied needs, from simple brush cutting to more demanding work such as pruning thick branches. This versatility reduces the need to purchase several different tools, thereby optimizing costs and storage space.
4. Durability and Performance Thermal tools are generally more robust and durable than their electric equivalents. They are designed to withstand heavy and prolonged working conditions, making them ideal for pruning and felling jobs where power and reliability are essential. Their superior performance also guarantees a cleaner and more precise cut, reducing the risk of damage to plants and trees.
5. Saving Time and Productivity By allowing clearing, pruning and felling work to be carried out more quickly, portable thermal machines significantly increase productivity. Landscape professionals can therefore manage more projects in less time, improving their profitability. In addition, individuals benefit from more efficient maintenance of their green spaces, freeing up time for other activities. In conclusion, portable thermal machines are valuable allies for maintenance work on green spaces. Their efficiency, autonomy, versatility, durability and contribution to productivity make them essential tools for clearing, pruning and felling. Investing in this equipment guarantees quality results while optimizing time and effort.
