Hello people I have been looking for yard space and can't seem to find anything suitable.

I will have a truck, chipper, tools and need somewhere to store timber. Woodchip as well is possible but if not I'll cope.

Now I was thinking of farm land with maybe a shipping container but all I can find when I look for yard space on farm land is places to graze livestock or huge fields to rent.

I just need a smallish area for general kit.

What I need is advice on how people found there yards and if anyone runs a tree company from a deferent set up that works for them?

I know there are threads on this but no advice found yet by me that helps my situation.

Also I wasn't sure which area to put this topic in but figured I'm setting up a business and I guess it works here.

Thanks in advance people

Either wait to be lucky & see if there's anything in the local rag or be proactive & start knocking on farmers doors. There's always the local pub but I wouldn't want too many people knowing where my kit is. Good luck

What he said plus you'll be lucky if anyone divulges this kind of info on here.

This stuff is more closely guarded than the holy grail!

It might help if you give a general area of the country. You may find people can give more ideas by PM if they know this.

The problem with using farm land is that its farm land and would need change of use to be legit, and that could be hard to come by. If you wing it and planning gets on the land owners case, you could be out on your ear on short order

Aww that's a fair point, I knew this might be the case. Ideally I need a farm that may already have other ventures.

First thing you should consider is proper fencing for the security of your property. Then plan the space properly for the perfect general appearance. You should also have a rough picture in mind of how you want your yard to look like. This shall the force that will drive you towards achieving a nice yard. Obtaining advice from friends and family is a plus. They know you better than you think they do, and can be of great help on this.
