Repairing fences on Salisbury Plain
A little fresh on Salisbury Plain today repairing fences around ancient burial grounds.
Old fences were in need of repair so we were asked to add new fence posts to the existing fences to prolong the life of them. In all approx. 1500m in two areas
Tristan drove the tracked post driver with Adam and Tad stapling the wire to the posts behind him.

You can read about 358 mesh security fencing on our website here: “358 Security Mesh is incredibly strong and is the ideal solution for a wide variety of high-security perimeter and access control applications. The mesh is made from 75mm x 12.5mm x 4mm galvanised material and polyester-coated welded mesh fabric.

MEWPs or Cherry Pickers
We have now added a 3rd MEWP to our fleet.
It’s a Tracked Teupen 23GT with a working height of up to 23m – compact but with a great working height.
It’s ideal for quick, efficient jobs. It is especially suited for job sites that provide little space and require great working heights. It has a variable and quick multi-position stabilising system, 180-degree rotatable basket and flexible, articulated boom. For full details please see here
And for details of our three MEWPS please see our web page on our MEWPS here
Walnut Take Down
Takedown today of a 25 feet walnut tree in Westwood, where disease had spread top down to about one-third of the height of the tree. We chipped all the smaller branches and then the trunk was cut into logs for enthusiastic woodturners.
We then ground out the roots and planted a Betula McBeath adjacent to where the walnut had stood, supplied by Downside Nurseries in Upper Westwood.
Full details of all the tree work we undertake can be found on our website page here and for Tree Surveys please see here

Two different sets of security gates erected
Two different sets of security gates erected last week – sign of the times I am afraid.
One set for Cross Engineering in Devizes for Henry Timmis, and one for a new development site in Westbury.
Both sets 1.8m high and of galvanised metal.
