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”

Cleft Sweet Chestnut fence around a lake near Devizes

Posted on by Debbie Newman
A couple of jobs this week:
 
  • A Cleft sweet chestnut fence around a lake near Devizes and
  • a guard rail fence was repaired in Westbury
All with no raincoat required !! 
March 2024
 
Cleft rail fences, also known as chestnut fences, are constructed using split logs. We used 2.4m. Commonly, these logs have pre-shaped ends that fit snugly into mortices in the fence posts. This design allows the rails to slot into the timber posts easily.  Sweet chestnut does not require any treatment to help improve its lifespan –  the timber contains natural preservatives.  There is no industry standard for the length of the logs given their curved and bendy nature.
