Stock Fencing near Salisbury
This picture doesn’t do the terrain justice – it is a lot steeper than it looks. Alex, Matt and Brian have been erecting some stock fencing on the edge of Salisbury Plain now the ground has dried out we can tackle the steeper fence runs!
Protech Evo 3 Post Driver makes the task effortless.
Timber supplied by Batsford Timber Ltd
Netting by Tornado Wire Ltd
Our Seppi Forestry Mulcher dealing with heavy and dense vegetation
Tidy Friday: mulching an area next to a security fence near Larkhill. Our Robo Flails are great, but the Seppi Mulcher is better here and deals with heavy and dense vegetation with ease.
An older but very efficient workhorse in our fleet, and built to last.
Tree Reduction overlooking the City of Bath
Here, Alex is undertaking a reduction to a mature veteran beech tree overlooking the City of Bath. This follows approval for the work to a TPO-protected tree.
The tree was 26m which we reduced to 22m. All done by ‘hand’ as there was no access for any machines.
Even our new company workwear is visible!
Wick Farm Solar Project near Melksham
Work started in mid-December 2024 to erect 13,000m of fencing around the farm site. So far, we’re up to about 10,000m.
We are using our Evo 3 post driver/creosote timber posts with Solonet deer wire unrolled /tensioner with Tornado 450m rolls of deer netting. The timber we are using is supplied and treated in the UK and we are using UK-manufactured wire netting.
These 450m rolls have been specially ordered for this project instead of the standard 100m, to reduce the amount of joining.
The site consists of 16 separate compartments of solar panels. We have installed gates along with the fences and ED & W Bodman have installed all tracks.
It was nice to see the sun one-day last week!
Here Tristan and Toby are flying along with the fencing.

Mulching, fencing and then protection for ground nesting birds
Not the most exciting pictures…
However, after mulching this site, it has been fenced to provide a protective haven for ground-nesting birds from people walking their dogs at Castle Hill in Salisbury.
