6000m stock fencing on top of Tan Hill
e’ve now come to the end of phase 1 of the stock fence work on top of Wiltshire’s second-highest point. We had erected 6000m of stock fencing on the top of Tan Hill.
The first two images go back to mid-December, with the third as at mid-February.
“Tan Hill (grid reference SU081646) is a hill north of Allington in the parish of All Cannings, Wiltshire. Its summit is 294 metres (965 ft) above sea level and is the second highest point of the North Wessex Downs AONB hill ran ge (the adjacent Milk Hill is 295 m high), and of Wiltshire. Interestingly it is also the third highest point between Bristol and London”. (Thanks to WIKI.)
Reduction to a row of poplars in Market Lavington
With all the high-tech toys we have there is still a need for rope and harness when no access allows a MEWP anywhere near!
Here are Jamie Mcdoog and Jac reducing a row of poplars near Market Lavington by 30ft in height.
Reduction to decayed beech tree
Reduction to a decayed beech tree to try and retain for a few more years and provide habitat in the meantime; but, our 26m MEWP was not quite enough reach for the top.
Access was tight, but a great job was done by all involved over the two days.

Our tracked MEWP – just the job for those hard-to-reach trees
You can’t beat our tracked MEWP for those hard-to-reach trees in hard-to-reach positions.
We removed a failing ash tree from over a garage and a river in the pouring rain. And, the local EA testing station was 20 metres downstream!
Well done to all

Annual hedge trim, Devizes
The annual hedge trim at a long-standing client nr Devizes, mainly very old and large yew hedges which required a mixture of MEWPS to be able to reach them all, with some being 30ft high and 20ft wide in places. It’s a good time of year to give them a trim.
You can find full details of our tree surgery and hedging services here.
Rock spiking in the rain in Winsley
Following long delays, our clients recently took possession of their small holding at Winsley, with 10 acres of unkept land and gardens to secure mainly to keep livestock and young children out of harm’s way.
Here’s Tristan Warden rock spiking before driving in posts for goat fencing at Bradford on Avon using our Protech Evo 3 to drive the posts. The hydraulic rock spike on this Post Driver is just the job for rocky and solid ground, using it to make a pilot hole first.
We have erected a mixture of 60m x 4ft picket fencing around the house. We also fitted a mixture of goat and stock fencing in the paddocks, all on creosote timber posts for longevity- 500m stock fencing 1.2m high, with gates, with one strand of barbed wire on top.
Here’s the link to our section on Stock Fencing on the website.
