When one of the South West’s most respected sports teams needs professional grounds support, they turn to a name they can trust. DTG Trees & Grounds was proud to be called in by the Exeter Chiefs to tackle overgrown vegetation around their facility. This wasn’t just a cleanup, it was an opportunity to help a regional institution look its best ahead of a new season.

Working with the Exeter Chiefs
As a high-profile venue, the Exeter Chiefs’ facilities must maintain the highest standard of appearance and safety for players, staff, and visiting guests. DTG was commissioned to clear the external banks surrounding their property, which had become overgrown during the off-season. We were briefed to complete the job swiftly, with minimal disruption and full safety measures in place.

Scope of the Clearance
Our team carried out full vegetation clearance, including cutting back scrub, removing invasive species, and clearing debris from access routes. We used commercial-grade strimmers, saws, and mulching tools to handle thick undergrowth efficiently. Every cut was made with safety in mind, and the waste was chipped or removed promptly to leave the area clean and sharp.

Challenges & Conditions
This particular job was carried out during an extreme heat spell, which added pressure to complete the work swiftly and safely. The team worked in shifts and followed all HSE guidelines to avoid heat exhaustion while maintaining productivity. Despite the conditions, we completed the project on time and to an exceptionally high standard.

Results & What’s Next
The final result was a massive transformation. What had been dense, unsightly overgrowth became a clean, open, and professional-looking area, perfectly fitting for the Exeter Chiefs’ reputation. We look forward to working with them again and are proud to support such an iconic name in Devon’s sporting community.
