About

Our Story

Avondale Environmental was founded in 1992 by Andrew Back, and started life as an arboriculture company, taking on grounds maintenance and tree works.
Clients included local authorities and housing associations, but Andrew realised a gap in the market – for high-risk industries such as rail, construction and highways.

Clearing vegetation from these types of locations presents huge safety risks, but using technology and specialist equipment under the supervision of highly trained and compliant operatives, allows the work to be carried out safety and more quickly for clients, resulting in less disruption to their customers.
Our efficiency means less closure time – highways and railways are key industries where we help to maintain safety and minimise disruption.

Avondale, following Andrew’s lead, has a ‘can do’ attitude; we’re solution seekers and problem-solvers.
We find a way, look for new technology and techniques to ensure the customer gets the job they want done safely, efficiently and within budget.

Avondale’s philosophy is, and always has been, to apply high quality mechanised solutions to vegetation control, whilst at the same time, balancing safety and compliance.
Sitting at the heart of our operations is a fleet of customised Mercedes Benz road/rail Unimogs – the perfect workhorse for the huge job of vegetation clearance, maintenance and cleaning.
