Pollarding an avenue of Lime Trees in West Lavington

Posted on by Debbie Newman

What a difference a week makes –  storms and strong winds delayed the start to a lime avenue pollarding project in West Lavington.

Great work by all involved  –  2 MEWPS do make it safe and much easier.

See here for details of the MEWPs used by Conservation Contractors

We finally were able to get back to finish the pollards in West Lavington once the school had broken up for Easter. The recent high winds delayed the start of the project
Great job by all involved. 

Hedge trimming at National Trust Avebury

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Trimming of National Trust Hedges at Avebury within the garden of The Manor – a mixture of yew and box.

We also needed to undertake some reductions and adjustments to the topiary,  as well as lots of straight hedges – excellent job by Tad & Garry.

Here’s the link to Avebury – open again after 18th February.

Hedge trimming at Clyffe Hall in Lavington

Back to finish off some hedge trimming that required a little more reach at Clyffe Hall in Lavington!  We had been there earlier when we cut all the formal hedges in the gardens, but could not reach the larger yews.  So a return visit with our ‘red’ 23m tracked MEWP was needed so we could finish the job.

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Tad and Matty have been planting Hornbeam hedging in Avebury Trusloe –  a few hundred metres to improve the garden boundary

Trusloe is a Street in the village of Avebury Trusloe which measures approximately 189 metres long.

Hornbeams are hardwood trees in the flowering plant genus Carpinus in the birch family Betulaceae. The 30–40 species occur across much of the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
