Getting to Bollène from Lapalud
Ten minutes from Lapalud on the D994, through nothing but vines. It is the nearest and the most built-up town in the area, which matters for small jobs: a round trip fits inside half a day. Twenty metres of hedge that would not be worth the journey thirty kilometres out slots in here without difficulty.
The gardens here, and what they involve
Two very different Bollènes on the same ground. The estates on the edge of town, built between the 1970s and the 1990s, with cypress and laurel hedges planted along the boundary and left to climb for decades — half the enquiries from this area. And the old centre, where plane trees planted long before the houses now around them need regular reduction, in tight conditions, between façades and overhead lines.
Statutory clearance: what applies here
Bollène falls inside the wildfire risk prevention plan for the Uchaux massif. It is the point most owners are unaware of, and it has direct consequences: in the areas covered, clearing 50 metres around buildings and 3 metres either side of private access roads is not a maintenance suggestion but an enforceable obligation. The town hall will confirm how your plot is classified in a few minutes.
The dominant species, and what they demand
Leyland cypress and cherry laurel dominate the estate hedges, and they are the two species least forgiving of a late rescue: neither regrows from bare wood, which rules out cutting into the stripped section. Plane trees hold the town centre and are worked from November to March, during dormancy. On the outlying plots, holm oak, Aleppo pine and black locust regrowth come back fast as soon as ground stops being kept.

What moves a quote in Bollène
No price is given without seeing the ground. What can be said is what, here specifically, pushes it up or down.
Ten minutes of road, and it shows
Travel weighs little on a quote in Bollène: it is the closest town to Lapalud. A short job — twenty metres of hedge, one tree to reduce — is still worth doing here when it would not be thirty kilometres out. It is also what makes it possible to fit a visit into the week rather than the month.
The old centre costs more than the estates
For trees of identical height, a town-centre plane and an estate cypress are not priced the same. In the old centre everything comes down on a rope, the surroundings are protected, and the timber is carried out by hand to the vehicle: it is access, not height, that makes the quote.
The statutory portion is itemised separately
Bollène sitting inside the Uchaux massif wildfire plan, part of the work may fall under the clearance obligation. The quote then separates that part from the rest — useful if you have to show it to the town hall, an insurer or a buyer.

The services, in Bollène as anywhere else
What changes from one commune to the next is access, ground and regulation — not the trade itself. The detail of each service, its season and what moves its price sit on its own page. What follows applies to Bollène exactly as it does to the other twenty-three towns in the area.
Tree pruning
Reducing, thinning or reshaping a tree safely, without damaging it.
Hedge trimming
A clean, straight hedge at the height you want — and the clippings taken away.
Tree felling
A dead, dangerous or too-close tree: controlled felling and stump removal.
Garden maintenance
Regular visits so your grounds stay tidy all year.
Lawn mowing
Mowing, edge finishing, clippings collected. One-off or all season.
Brush clearing
Overgrown ground, or a legal clearance obligation: back to a clean slate.
Common questions in Bollène
Does the clearance obligation apply in Bollène?
To part of the commune, yes: Bollène is one of the communes inside the wildfire risk prevention plan for the Uchaux massif. Whether YOUR plot is inside it is confirmed at the town hall, which is the authority. Josué then tells you on site what the ground needs, and the quote separates the statutory part from the rest.
My cypress hedge is six metres tall. Can it be brought back?
Often yes, but not in one go. Cypress does not regrow from a bare branch: cutting a ten-year-old hedge right back in a single pass leaves a brown wall that will never green up again. It is done in two passes a year apart, staying inside the green foliage each time. It takes longer, and it is the only method that keeps the hedge alive.
Do you work on the plane trees in the old centre?
Yes, for private owners. A plane tree in the old centre is reduced by sectional dismantling, pieces lowered on a rope, with façades and vehicles protected — the kind of job where access weighs more than height in the quote. Street trees on public land, on the other hand, are the council’s responsibility, not yours.
