Just routine works, but the cab needed to be jacked up for access.
This is our Unimog with a woodchipper on the back with a 1.5-ton capacity. So, who can remember the origin of this odd name?
“The Unimog is a range of multi-purpose auto four-wheel drive medium trucks produced by Mercedes-Benz, The word is an acronym for the German “UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät”, Gerät being the German word for a device (also in the sense of machine, instrument, gear, apparatus)”.

Loving winter… Here we’re erecting Equinet fencing for a racehorse yard in Beckhampton to replace an old stock fence
We’re using our Dymax tree shear to cut hawthorn and blackthorn.
And, once it’s cut, you have to get it collected up and burnt – so we’re making progress…

Our work here was to undertake crown lifting of 30 beech trees in the central reservation of the A338 Bodenham Bypass dual carriageway between Salisbury and Downton.
We crown lifted to 3m over the central reservation and 5m over the carriageway.

We needed a large team of 5 to get all the works completed in a day
Crown lifting or crown raising can be defined as the removal of the lowest branches and/or preparing of lower branches for future removal. Again, an effective method of increasing light transmission to areas closer to the tree. Have you spotted our tree work definitions on the website? Check them out here.
Before you put the fence up you have to clear the path;
