Removal of larch trees along a drive to a country house where we have been removing large conifers surrounding the gardens. They were planted as a screen but had now outgrown their position, so we removed three to allow the drive to be extended with the help of our ROBO-FLAIL.

Table top sawn from cedar
It has taken time and a lot of effort (not by us) but it finally arrived today: a table sawn from the 100′ Cedar of Lebanon tree which was decayed and had to be taken down last year. It comes with a ‘live’ edge and legs cut from the same tree (where it still has the profile of the outside of the tree, rather than cut square = wobbly edges)!
The table is 3.2m long and 1.2m wide and was made by Henry at Hideaways

200m of post and 3-rail fence with netting
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!
Mulching Scrub for the National Trust on Cley Hill, Warminster Oct 2022
Ben has been helping us with his roboflail on Cley Hill this week mulching scrub for the National Trust. It’s a lot steeper than it looks!
We were helping to reduce the areas of scrub and bramble that were starting to get established on the steep areas and smother out the grassland. We spent 2 days mulching agreed areas to let the grass re-establish itself.
Tree Survey followed by take down of Holm Oak tree from the car park at a soon-to-open children’s home in Westbury
Clear results were showing the cross-section of decay present in a tree removed from the car park of a soon-to-open children’s home in Westbury in the grounds of the former Chalford House Hotel. This was all confirmed in the PICUS report. As you can see, the tree looked perfectly healthy from the outside but had to be taken down as it was unsafe, especially over a car park. And we needed to wait until the birds had finished nesting to undertake the work.
Well done by all involved; the new spider MEWP proving its worth, along with the timber crane o remove the timber; no heavy lifting at CC Ltd!
New oak gate posts for The Church of All Saints at West Lavington
The soft wood gate posts had failed so it was decided to go for a more befitting option.
The posts and labour costs were donated by a local parishioner.
