Our project this week was to erect 200m of post and 3-rail fence with netting for a local housing development in Worton, which hopefully will keep the cows out of the building site!

Removal of 100 ft Cedar of Lebanon in Worton
Sad to see this go – a local landmark coming down in Worton due to decay.
The decay, which you can see in the photo, was detected in the base of this 100 ft Cedar of Lebanon. Using the Picus Sonic Tomograph, the decay was clear.
This was the last one of six that were there before the houses were built on Cedar Close; now, perhaps Cedar-less Close!
The trunk was taken down to the West Country for wood carving into something quite unique. Howard & Sons undertook the haulage
A replacement tree has been planted.

And our post in November 2022 will tell you about its wonderful transformation into this tabletop.
60m hedge reduction Worton, Devizes
The pictures show us half-way through a large reduction on a 60m hedge which had grown to 65′ in Worton Village, Devizes. Following the unusually high winds in May, several branches had broken off and there was a further risk of more damage, so permission was sought from Wiltshire County Council as the hedge/trees were within a conservation area.
The work was then scheduled, needing our large cherry picker, and we recycled all the chip and timber locally.
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.
