Our original Facebook post at the beginning of November showed that we were making a number of these. We mentioned that they would be painted cream and concreted to the ground. But we didn’t get many replies as to what they would be used for, so we thought you’d like to know the answer!
They are, in fact, timber firing points we installed at Warminster Ranges, all made in-house. And they had to be painted country cream as they didn’t want bright white!
A recent pond refurbishment with 15 years of silt and leaf mould removed. We retained some water and all the fish and then laid a new liner. The pond was then refilled to which we added the retained water to get the microbes started.
To see some more examples of our work which isn’t tree surgery, tree surveys or fencing, please see here.
And now adding a new photograph in June 2019 of what it looks like 6 months later. Really does illustrate the “before and after”…
Following a long tender process with Landmarc Ltd, on behalf of Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), we won the contract for the refurbishment to Bulford Firing Range “C” to bring it up to modern compliance specification. DIO is part of the Ministry of Defence.
The project required the old tarmac and timber range floor to be removed and the firing trenches replaced with pre-fabricated concrete structures made off-site. We then fitted recycled plastic edging and then covered the whole site in a soft-pour surface.
We completed the project within the month, due to strict time constraints. Although the range we were working on was closed for the works to be carried out, neighbouring ranges were kept in use with live firing on a daily basis. This is the first firing range on Salisbury Plain with this finish.
Landmarc/DIO now have a safer range with no ricochet hazard; one that is maintenance free and hard wearing.

Glad to see our trees being up-cycled for jumps at the Larkhill. Our friend John at Larkhill has been putting horse chestnut tree stems to good use, as jumps for the event held there on Saturday 7th April.
The trees have come all the way from Tilshead!

Cirencester Opportunity Group
Cirencester Opportunity Group is an independent charity providing integrated education for preschool children and support for their families.
M&S supply various foods and undertook to recreate a forest school where the children can learn in the great outdoors. We were delighted to be able to support by creating a hedgehog habitat as it seems there are resident hedgehogs!

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.
We’ve had a busy few weeks in Christchurch, Dorset, giving some TLC, reduction and some felling to 40 oak trees which hadn’t been maintained for many years. We had one surprise, though….
One of the trunks was hollow as it was full of honey! A colony of bees had nested in it, so with the help of the local Bee Society, we needed to move them to a new home. They had to be smoked out at night but leaving the Queen in the tree. We then carefully felled the tree and moved it, the Queen and the honey to its new home, with the worker bees following the lorry with the Queen.
The local Bee Society were just delighted we hadn’t simply felled the tree and rendered the colony homeless… But no responsible tree surgeon would do that, surely?
