Tree Survey followed by take down of Holm Oak tree from the car park at a soon-to-open children’s home in Westbury

Clear results were showing the cross-section of decay present in a tree removed from the car park of a soon-to-open children’s home in Westbury in the grounds of the former Chalford House Hotel. This was all confirmed in the PICUS report.  As you can see, the tree looked perfectly healthy from the outside but had to be taken down as it was unsafe, especially over a car park.  And we needed to wait until the birds had finished nesting to undertake the work.

Well done by all involved; the new spider MEWP proving its worth, along with the timber crane o remove the timber; no heavy lifting at CC Ltd!

Pollarding an avenue of Lime Trees in West Lavington

What a difference a week makes –  storms and strong winds delayed the start to a lime avenue pollarding project in West Lavington.

Great work by all involved  –  2 MEWPS do make it safe and much easier.

See here for details of the MEWPs used by Conservation Contractors

We finally were able to get back to finish the pollards in West Lavington once the school had broken up for Easter. The recent high winds delayed the start of the project
Great job by all involved. 

Hedge trimming at National Trust Avebury

Trimming of National Trust Hedges at Avebury within the garden of The Manor – a mixture of yew and box.

We also needed to undertake some reductions and adjustments to the topiary,  as well as lots of straight hedges – excellent job by Tad & Garry.

Here’s the link to Avebury – open again after 18th February.

Hedge trimming at Clyffe Hall in Lavington

Back to finish off some hedge trimming that required a little more reach at Clyffe Hall in Lavington!  We had been there earlier when we cut all the formal hedges in the gardens, but could not reach the larger yews.  So a return visit with our ‘red’ 23m tracked MEWP was needed so we could finish the job.
