Mark pollarding willow trees along a watercourse

Here, Mark is pollarding willow trees along a watercourse, all made safe and easy with the Vosch grapple saw.

 Pollarding is the process of cutting all limbs of the tree back to the main stem to reduce the weight and likelihood of the main stem splitting and failing.  This can only be done on certain species of tree that will regenerate afterwards.

Removal of large conifer hedge, replacing with Close Board fencing on Duraposts.

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”

Ash clearance checking for bat roosts

Last one for this week.

As part of an ash clearance, we had surveyed all the trees in the woodland last year.

Those with potential bat habitat were recorded and numbered. These were then checked again from a MEWP with an ecologist prior to felling.

Following that, 4 trees of the 143 trees surveyed,  were found to have bats within them so were left untouched.

See our new BNG page here.

Dismantle of a multi stem beech tree at Edington which was in decline

We recently felled a multi-stem 20m high beech tree opposite The Three Daggers pub in Edington  .The tree was right by the road and was showing signs of dying back. Its position made it unsafe to remain. We were pleased to receive this testimonial from our client:

“Your guys have just felled a large beech tree adjacent to our drive. I wanted to let you know what a good job they did.

The notice said the road would be closed for 2 days but they completed the job in less than 6 hours; very impressive kit, very efficient and helpful. All cleared up tidily, and they left me a gift of logs for firewood.
I was very impressed. Richard”
