Some dry weather has made all the difference for everyone, and we are now nearing completion.   A Job well done by everyone

In our earlier posts, we touched on the timber and wiring aspects of the project.   As groundworks contractors, Bodmans have to strip the topsoil, lay a membrane and then supply and level a layer of clean stone. This is then topped off with a final smaller stone and compacted, leaving a camber to avoid any water settling on the surface.

Deer Fencing in Melksham

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Deer Fencing is usually 1.8m galvanized wire, which is very strong and lightweight.  No barbed wire on top.  It allows you to protect your trees and shrubs from being eaten or being used to rub up against.

We have recently installed just under 800m of 2m high deer fencing in Melksham for a field crop trial site to prevent deer browsing and impacting on the trial results.  In addition to the fencing, we erected 4 gates to match.

For details of the many other different types of fencing we erect, please see here

Reducing a row of poplars in King George’s Field Melksham

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Reduction of Poplars: We undertook reductions to 20 plus poplars and removed 3 trees completely for WCC in Melksham.   The trees now are all at a uniform height. A job to be proud of despite initial local concerns from residents.
