As a specialist in utility and railway vegetation management, Ground Control delivers tree and vegetation management services on most transportation routes and powerlines across the UK.

We trim, maintain and sustain the vegetation along railways, highways and line-sides of electricity and utility sites across the UK, keeping the nation safe and moving while also caring for our environment.

We use state-of-the-art live reporting software that uses GIS tracking to give our clients total transparency of when they can expect to see our teams on site.

As a Tier 1 supplier for Network Rail, we we carry out railway vegetation management and tree work on their behalf, across the country.

We conduct line-side vegetation management to keep power lines clear for energy and utility companies such as Severn Trent Water, National Grid, Western Power Distribution and UK Power Networks.
