Dismantle Poplar Tree in Urchfont

Trevor and Matt have joined the team this week and it was “in at the deep end” with a dismantle of a large Poplar Tree in Urchfont followed by a large tidy up…

Stock netting on the edge of Salisbury Plain

Dave and his team erected 2000m of stock netting on the edge of Salisbury Plain earlier in Novemberso as to stop people walking into the dangerous area of the Plain.

The job needed our post drivers and a good eye by Alex and Mike who did a great job… bullet straight!

Scrub Clearance on Salisbury Plain

Monday and storm Imogen’s wind and rain kept us away from crop spraying and tree dismantling. So a little light relief was found with scrub clearance on Salisbury Plain to keep Steve, Dan, Scott, Rich and Matt happy.
