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.

Fencing & scrub clearance near Marlborough December 2023

Posted on by Debbie Newman

With all posts now in, there’s a suitable point to break for Christmas.  a project which has been challenging at times.

A  little more scrub to tidy up in 2024 and a few 1000m of netting to pull up.

The Compact Protech post driver is off to pastures new in January,  with a new one ready to be collected.

New sign writing not so visible now!

Timber Stack in Hampshire Dec 2023

Posted on by Debbie Newman

The stack of timber and pictures do not do this project justice.  We removed 15 very large poplars from a narrow and sometimes waterlogged strip of land between a security fence and an SSSI canal, then through a very small gate.

A great result which can only be described as a job that never went wrong but had its challenges!

Well Done – Scott, Cameron, Antony, Samuel and the team.
