We undertook 600m of 8-12ft high Beech hedge trimming at Manton, Marlborough. The hedge was around the formal gardens, with poor access and tender lawns, so all the work was done by hand with just a hedge trimmer; well four actually and using our MEWP where possible!
For details of our tree and hedge surgery capabilities please see our web page here.
Protech EV02 tracked self-propelled post driver – steep or wet ground conditions will be helped by the upgrading of our fencing machinery with the addition of a tracked self-propelled post driver from Protech, called the EV02. This will be a full spec machine able to carry posts and wire and make no mess or access steep terrain.
Currently being built and will be with us by the start of December this year.
One of our jobs this month; the before and after shots show that you can now really “see the wood from the trees”. This was undertaken for a longstanding client in Keevil, which started as a trimming job! Sept 2016
We’ve undertaken a variety of work here, which has included:
In August we had to dismantle a 100ft lime tree in Marlborough, together with clearing some smaller trees and shrubs and stump removal and grinding.
The timber was collected and moved across to Barbury Castle Estate on the Marlborough Downs to be used as part of the horse trial course. We try very hard to recycle as much as we can.
If you require woodchip for the garden or larger projects we have plenty in our yard and you are welcome to collect it FOC.
Please email William to let him know what you require.
Our new ‘go anywhere’ tracked chipper allows us not only off road but also to meet the majority of challenges where we’re needed to get into difficult areas. Whether narrow, uneven, sloping or soft ground conditions, we will be able to help.
Yet another example of Conservation Contractors getting to those areas that others can’t reach!
Our work at Wadswick Green, Corsham continues… This is the new retirement village.
The pictures show the results of our efforts after two days’ strimming and brush cutting – all previously covered in brambles and nettles and an eyesore. And, look! We found a pond!! The second image shows watering of freshly planted shrub beds due to lack of rain.
See here for further details of some of the work we’ve undertaken for Wadswick Green.
Removal trees conifer hedging for yard expansion. We removed 10 trees and 150 yards of conifer hedging for Stonegate Farmers at Lacock. This was done so that they could extend and improve their yard operation there. We then took the chippings to another local farm to be used on the cow tracks over the coming winter months.

Well, not exactly, but we did undertake some work for Crown Estates in Devizes for the reduction of overhanging willow on Crown Estate.
A group of 3 willow trees had become too tall for their position and were in need of a reduction.
Following on from our last newsletter when we told you about our framework agreement with the Forestry Commission, Conservation Contractors has now been awarded a framework agreement with Dorset County Council. This includes tree works, weed control, fencing and agricultural services thus demonstrating we are able to support our clients with the full range of services required to maintain their land and infrastructure.
We look forward to working with all at DCC again.
