Part of our previous job in Melksham – just a picture of a branch falling and looking like it is balancing on the street lamp.

Hedge Reduction Keevil
A very large hedge reduction a few weeks ago to a mature beech hedge; Justin there for scale! The hedge had just got too big to manage by the owner in Keevil. The top will regrow next summer.

Equestrian Centre all-weather riding surface
Our video clip here shows mixing in fibres for our Lavington equestrian project. The riding surface is sand with recycled fibres mixed in to give a high-quality riding surface in all-weather conditions. They are then spread on top and then mixed into the sand.

Duty of care to have trees surveyed
This is why you have a duty of care to have trees surveyed on a regular basis…
The recent winds caused the tree to lose limbs and damage their neighbours’ vehicles in a car park in Bristol.
All cleared up and now back to Bristol to tidy the remains of the tree next week
3m high palisade fence for utility company in Mere
Another day and another job requiring a 3m high palisade fence x 30m in Mere.
This is to give added security around a water tank for a utility company and under the eye of Mark Holbrook.
Equestrian Arena in Lavington, near Devizes
A few images from this week’s equestrian arena build near Devizes which is a 20m x30m school where we reduced the site and put down drainage in Geotex membrane and stone.
Woven Geotextiles are made from 100% polypropylene or polyester and have long been specified by marine engineers, civil engineers and landscape contractors for use in stabilising soil and aggregate layers.

Close board fencing and hardwood iroko timber gates in Marlborough
Our client had just purchased the house in Marlborough and our brief was to make the garden dog-proof and a little more private with a small length of close board fencing (8m). In addition, we installed new hardwood iroko timber gates and oak posts; curved heel is the higher side of the gate to give a diagonal brace – just different! And we created an area to make a secluded bin store. Iroko is a highly durable timber with a medium oily texture. It is frequently referred to as African Teak due to its durability and appearance.
Palisade Fence for a utility site in Mere
Today was part of a refurb to erect a palisade fence for a utility site in Mere around a water tank, to give added security. Mere lies at the southwestern tip of Salisbury Plain.
We had previously taken down the high palisade fence in the spring to allow works in and around the area, and now it is being put back in place. The fence was 30m long x 3.6m high palisade with electric wires taking the overall height up to 4.8m, and there was an access gate.
Please see our Fencing page on our website for more information.
