Making and installing props to support veteran oak trees:
Today we have been installing props under veteran oaks to support over extended limbs. We made the props in-house along with all metal feet and supports, installed by Steve and Dan.

A few pictures of a large dismantle project started last week for Hill Construction at Tidworth. We’re removing the overhanging trees on a new housing project for Ministry of Defence to house soldiers returning to Wiltshire. The trees were a large beech, ash and sycamore.
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…
The tree had become too large for its position close to the house. Urchfont is north of the Salisbury Plain and south east of Devizes.

It was beech tree limb removal in Lavington for us this week.
We removed a large limb of a 100′ beech tree over the A360 in Lavington.
It had to come down for safety reasons as, during a survey, we found a large crack.

Reduction of Oak Trees in Ludwell, near Shaftesbury – 2 very tired climbers this week!
We reduced five large 25m oaks overhanging public space on a main WCC highway. One of the limbs had fallen so urgent reduction needed.
Ludwell comes within Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs area of outstanding beauty.

Matt and Geoff reduced an ash tree across 3 gardens in Champmanslade, Westbury this month. The large multi-stem ash had become too large for its position and was presenting a problem to the nearby houses, so a reduction of 25% of the crown was carried out to reduce the wind sail effect when in leaf and give the gardens some extra light.
We had to dismantle a dead ash tree in Rockley, near Marlborough; unfortunately no longer safe as near an access road.
Rich, Matt and Geoff have been busy pollarding a hornbeam in Burbage, in the Vale of Pewsey.
Pollarding is a pruning system in which the upper branches of a tree are removed, promoting a dense head of foliage and branches. It has been common in Europe since medieval times and is practised today in urban areas worldwide, primarily to maintain trees at a predetermined height.
Pictures tell a thousand words – showing Matt undertaking a sectional dismantle in Marlborough of a large pine over a stable block in January. The tree had become unstable and at some point would need to be removed due to its position overhanging stables and within a garden. Not one to shelter under on a windy day! Now all recycled for biomass and drying for future use.
This sequence of images shows a sectional dismantle of a Pine Tree at Manton Grange, Marlborough in January 2017.
