Professional Wood Chipper Hire in West Cornwall
Turn brash, branches and storm debris into wood chips on site, instead of a pile to burn or haul away. Hire our chipper with one of our team to run it, or self-drive, and either collect it on a suitable trailer or have it delivered to your site.

Wood chipper hire is the short-term hire of a machine that feeds cut branches, brash and small timber past a set of rotating knives and turns them into wood chips. It reduces a mountain of cuttings to a fraction of its size, right where the work is.
It suits landowners and farms clearing boundaries, homeowners taking on an overgrown garden, and builders clearing a plot before groundworks begin. The chips that come out are a usable material for mulch, paths and ground cover.
Chipper hire from Luna Maintenance Ltd comes either operated, with one of our team feeding and running the machine, or self-drive for you to run yourself. Tell us what you are clearing and we will match the machine and the arrangement to it.
The Clearance Work Our Chipper Takes On
Brash and cuttings from hedges and boundaries
Chip the cuttings from boundary and hedgerow work as you go, rather than leaving them in windrows to rot or burn.
Felled trees and branches
Once a tree is down, the chipper deals with the tops, limbs and brash, leaving any timber worth keeping to one side.
Storm-damage clean-up
After a storm, the chipper turns fallen limbs and broken branches into chips, so a yard, garden or access track is clear again sooner.
Overgrown gardens and plots
Scrub, overgrown shrubs and years of growth reduced on site, ready for the garden or plot to be put back to use.
Site clearance before groundworks
Clearing vegetation from a building plot or a field entrance before the excavation starts, so the ground is ready for the machines.
Woodland and farm boundaries
Tidying and boundary work on farms and estates, with the chips kept on site for paths and ground cover.
When the clearance is bigger than the chipper
For trees that need felling with machinery, our 14-tonne excavator and tree shear take on the whole job through tree removal and land clearance.
Our Chipper at Work
Our chipper works alongside the excavator and tree shear on our own clearance jobs across West Cornwall, from storm-damaged trees to overgrown ground and woodland edges. The photographs on this site show our own machines on our own work.

What Chipper Hire Gives You
Waste turned into something usefulBranches and brash become wood chips you can spread as mulch, lay on paths or use as ground cover, so the clearance produces a material instead of a disposal problem.
A cleared site, soonerChipping as you cut keeps the work area clear and safe to move around, and stops the job grinding to a halt behind a growing heap of cuttings.

How Chipper Hire Works, Step by Step
Hiring our chipper takes five steps:
Tell us what you are clearing.
Call 07460 077745 or send the form with the type of material, roughly how much there is, and where the site is.
Match the machine.
We confirm the chipper suits the work, and whether you want it operated or self-drive.
Agree it in writing.
Your written quote sets out the hire period, delivery or collection and, for operated hire, the operator.
Collect or take delivery.
Collect the chipper on a suitable trailer, or we deliver it as close to the clearance as the access allows.
Clear, chip and return.
The material is chipped, the chips stay with you or are dealt with as agreed, and the chipper comes back to us at the end of the hire.
Why Choose Luna Maintenance for Chipper Hire
Timing matters with any hedge or tree work. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it an offence to damage or destroy the nest of a wild bird while it is in use or being built, which is why clearance is best planned outside the main nesting season of March to August.
A clearance contractor's machine. Our chipper works on our own clearance jobs alongside the excavator and tree shear, so the advice you get comes from people who use it.
Chainsaw certified team. Operated hire comes with people trained for clearance work, not just for the machine.
Accredited and insured. CHAS accredited, a Constructionline Gold member and fully insured.
Hours that suit the work. We are available from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, so the hire fits around your own working week.
Your Contractor: Ross Kitto
Luna Maintenance is led by director Ross Kitto, who has 29 years in the trade. He formed the company in 2023, and today a close team of five carries out clearance, groundworks and plant hire across West Cornwall.
The team is chainsaw certified and CPCS-carded on plant, and the same people who clear storm damage with our own machines run the chipper on operated hire.
“Tell us what you are clearing and we will match the machine to it, because putting the customer first starts with the right equipment for the job,”
says Ross Kitto, director of Luna Maintenance Ltd.
