Removal of large conifer hedge, replacing with Close Board fencing on Duraposts.

Posted on by Debbie Newman

We removed a large conifer hedge including the stumps near Corsham as it was impacting on the wall . The hedge was then replaced with a 6ft close board fence on Duraposts and were delighted to receive this feedback from Jo.

“ Just to say I went back home at lunchtime today to discover everything was finished. Your team have done a fabulous job and all of your workers have been really great. I’m really pleased with the result, thank you. They’ve all been cheerful, polite, friendly and have tidied up everything beautifully.  Please can you pass on my appreciation to them all as well,  and I will definitely be recommending you guys. If only I could employ you to fix the house!

All the best and thanks again. Jo”

Ash clearance checking for bat roosts

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Last one for this week.

As part of an ash clearance, we had surveyed all the trees in the woodland last year.

Those with potential bat habitat were recorded and numbered. These were then checked again from a MEWP with an ecologist prior to felling.

Following that, 4 trees of the 143 trees surveyed,  were found to have bats within them so were left untouched.

See our new BNG page here.

Conservation from the ground up

This week we have started work up on the Pewsey Downs as part of a species recovery project creating scrapes and banks on chalk grassland to help provide habitats for a variety of butterflies and insects Pewsey Downs Farmers Group

See too our newly focussed webpage on BNG – Biodiversity Net Gain

And here’s Alex on another sctape – a bit more of a task on this bank.

ROBOCUT T500

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Our new Roboflail is able to control scrub, weeds and vegetation in a wide range of terrain, with the ability to cut up to 100mm diameter material on slopes up to 50 degrees, safely and efficiently.

And below are a couple of banks where we used the ROBOCUT to clear snowberry near Swindon. If you think the Robo flail can help, we are happy to come along and give a short demo.

Dismantle of a multi stem beech tree at Edington which was in decline

Posted on by Debbie Newman

We recently felled a multi-stem 20m high beech tree opposite The Three Daggers pub in Edington  .The tree was right by the road and was showing signs of dying back. Its position made it unsafe to remain. We were pleased to receive this testimonial from our client:

“Your guys have just felled a large beech tree adjacent to our drive. I wanted to let you know what a good job they did.

The notice said the road would be closed for 2 days but they completed the job in less than 6 hours; very impressive kit, very efficient and helpful. All cleared up tidily, and they left me a gift of logs for firewood.
I was very impressed. Richard”
