Plastic Fence on Creosote posts for equestrian yard – September
Something different this week – Plastic fence on creosote posts at a local equestrian yard.
It will be good to see how the Tornado Centuar fence stands the test of time. It is a fiddle to get up but looks to be a sturdy product.
A few more roadside pollards this week in Tidworth 16 September
These were 25m lime trees with the garrison completion of a works package started earlier in the year, but we held off while the trees were actively growing.
And more end of September…. Great job by Scott, Steve, Antony, Len, Jamie and Fin over the last week

Appleford School near Shrewton external works – fencing, parking and lighting August 2021
We have been very busy and trying to complete various external works projects during the school holidays. It has been difficult to source the materials, to say the least.
However, this project at a local school near Shrewton was completed today – new Close Board fence, new and increased parking areas along with additional lighting. All ready for the new term.

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.
For details of our tree surveys see here
And for the case study using the Picus Sonic Tomograph, please see here
And our post in November 2022 will tell you about its wonderful transformation into this tabletop.
Moss treatment on Chalgrove Airfield
Moss treatment on Chalgrove Airfield last week to control moss and weeds on the runway.
10 Ha of tarmac treated at 500 litres/Ha – easy with the correct machinery. All works were undertaken early in the morning not to hinder the active runway. Well done Derek!
Chalgrove Airfield is a former World War II aerodrome near Chalgrove, South Oxfordshire
