New pond dug and constructed in Marston, just in time before the weather changes. No shortage of water now !
The yellowish stone is crushed flint, which is harder wearing than shingle and is a good colour.

Dismantling a fallen willow tree across a remote footbridge near Chippenham
Oh Dear…. Today’s tricky one all done safely by Antony, Jamie, Garry and Len.
Here was a fallen willow tree across a remote footbridge over a watercourse. We dismantled the tree by climbing with rope and harness. There was no way of getting anything else to the site as it was across several wet fields. 04 Feb 2020
Clearing River Kennet for WCC
A messy job today for Wiltshire County Council clearing the River Kennet behind St Peter’s Junior School. Trees were overhanging the watercourse which was full of wire. All in a day’s work!
Watercourse Repairs – before and after
We were awarded the contract to clear trees and undergrowth from in and around a lake in Worton, near Devizes. We also uncovered a spot of erosion which has now been reinstated so water goes over rather than around the weir. The work will require a program of tree removal and replacement planting, fencing, drainage works and removal of timber from the lake.
