Just a small job today. We erected 15m x 1.8m high chain link fencing for Wessex Water in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, to separate off some private land which the owner thought was untidy.

Dismantle Poplar Tree in Urchfont
Trevor and Matt have joined the team this week and it was “in at the deep end” with a dismantle of a large Poplar Tree in Urchfont followed by a large tidy up…
The tree had become too large for its position close to the house. Urchfont is north of the Salisbury Plain and south east of Devizes.

Post and rail Secret Valley Devizes
Some post and rail we erected in the Secret Valley Devizes that we did a week or so ago. This was a joint effort by the tree division landscaping team and our fencing team. Our remit was to tidy and enhance thus we erected 50m post and rail and a gate. This has to be one of the prettiest villages I’ve ever worked in.

This job was for 800 m of demarcation fencing for a major utility company in Darrington.

Weed control on a 100 ac Solar Farm Trowbridge
Here Johnny is spraying weeds on a 100ac (41ha) solar farm between Trowbridge & Bradford-on-Avon.

Beech tree limb removal in Lavington
It was beech tree limb removal in Lavington for us this week.
We removed a large limb of a 100′ beech tree over the A360 in Lavington.
It had to come down for safety reasons as, during a survey, we found a large crack.

Security Fencing in Sturminster Marshall, Dorset
We tendered for the supply and erection of 200m of security fencing in Sturminster Marshall, Dorset around a new Wessex Water Compound towards the end of last year and were awarded the contract.
The fence needed to be 2.1m high with several gates constructed of galvanised 358 “prison” mesh which was then powder coated in green to satisfy planners.
The work was started and completed in March 2017.
Reduction of Oak Trees in Ludwell, near Shaftesbury
Reduction of Oak Trees in Ludwell, near Shaftesbury – 2 very tired climbers this week!
We reduced five large 25m oaks overhanging public space on a main WCC highway. One of the limbs had fallen so urgent reduction needed.
Ludwell comes within Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs area of outstanding beauty.

Tree reduction Chapmanslade
Matt and Geoff reduced an ash tree across 3 gardens in Champmanslade, Westbury this month. The large multi-stem ash had become too large for its position and was presenting a problem to the nearby houses, so a reduction of 25% of the crown was carried out to reduce the wind sail effect when in leaf and give the gardens some extra light.
Dismantle dead ash tree Rockley
We had to dismantle a dead ash tree in Rockley, near Marlborough; unfortunately no longer safe as near an access road.
