Much of the vegetation clearance will need to be carried out by strimmer and hand tools since many sites can't be accessed with sit on plant, though some sites may facilitate ride on machinery. Larger hedge trimmers and chainsaws will be required to clear heavier vegetation. Tree maintenance will normally require the use of a chainsaw and may require the movement of larger timbers The appointed supplier will be required to liaise and communicate with private land owners in order to gain access to sites and carry out essential services.
