Some post and rail we erected in the Secret Valley Devizes that we did a week or so ago. This was a joint effort by the tree division landscaping team and our fencing team. Our remit was to tidy and enhance thus we erected 50m post and rail and a gate. This has to be one of the prettiest villages I’ve ever worked in.

This job was for 800 m of demarcation fencing for a major utility company in Darrington.
We erected 800 m of posts and single blue rope to act as demarcation fence for new pipeline project for Wessex Water at Durrington. We did this in just one day; with another 2000m to follow in September.
Here Johnny is spraying weeds on a 100ac (41ha) solar farm between Trowbridge & Bradford-on-Avon.
We used our Honda quad bike towing a sprayer which we adapted for this job.
It was beech tree limb removal in Lavington for us this week.
We removed a large limb of a 100′ beech tree over the A360 in Lavington.
It had to come down for safety reasons as, during a survey, we found a large crack.

We tendered for the supply and erection of 200m of security fencing in Sturminster Marshall, Dorset around a new Wessex Water Compound towards the end of last year and were awarded the contract.
The fence needed to be 2.1m high with several gates constructed of galvanised 358 “prison” mesh which was then powder coated in green to satisfy planners.
The work was started and completed in March 2017.
Reduction of Oak Trees in Ludwell, near Shaftesbury – 2 very tired climbers this week!
We reduced five large 25m oaks overhanging public space on a main WCC highway. One of the limbs had fallen so urgent reduction needed.
Ludwell comes within Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs area of outstanding beauty.

Matt and Geoff reduced an ash tree across 3 gardens in Champmanslade, Westbury this month. The large multi-stem ash had become too large for its position and was presenting a problem to the nearby houses, so a reduction of 25% of the crown was carried out to reduce the wind sail effect when in leaf and give the gardens some extra light.
We had to dismantle a dead ash tree in Rockley, near Marlborough; unfortunately no longer safe as near an access road.
Rich, Matt and Geoff have been busy pollarding a hornbeam in Burbage, in the Vale of Pewsey.
Pollarding is a pruning system in which the upper branches of a tree are removed, promoting a dense head of foliage and branches. It has been common in Europe since medieval times and is practised today in urban areas worldwide, primarily to maintain trees at a predetermined height.
Our new piece of kit has arrived complete with whistles and bells!
It’s the Protech Evo 2 4×4 towable, ‘self-propelled’ post driver/tracked knocker, 300g hammer, with winch, 2 Rock spikes blade, rock drill, telemast, big weight and self- levelling system, 400mm wide tracks slew and extending tracks.
So, perfect for steep terrain and wet ground and will make light work of any difficult ground.
This is Protech’s You Tube video.
And the Protech helped make much easier work here, for example, erecting a 300m post and rail fence around a new house in Beckhampton on recently spread topsoil. Two weeks in and you’ll notice it’s not quite as shiny as when delivered!
