Fencing to protect several thousand metres of new hedge planting in Wiltshire

This is a continuation of the tree planting program we featured earlier in the year, with all the tree tubes set out by GPS.

Now, we have just completed fencing to protect several thousand metres of new hedge planting as part of a species recovery project.

We used traditional native hedging planted to create new hedges and infill older hedges where gaps were present

Removal of large conifer hedge, replacing with Close Board fencing on Duraposts.

We removed a large conifer hedge including the stumps near Corsham as it was impacting on the wall . The hedge was then replaced with a 6ft close board fence on Duraposts and were delighted to receive this feedback from Jo.

“ Just to say I went back home at lunchtime today to discover everything was finished. Your team have done a fabulous job and all of your workers have been really great. I’m really pleased with the result, thank you. They’ve all been cheerful, polite, friendly and have tidied up everything beautifully.  Please can you pass on my appreciation to them all as well,  and I will definitely be recommending you guys. If only I could employ you to fix the house!

All the best and thanks again. Jo”
