Tree Reduction overlooking the City of Bath
Here, Alex is undertaking a reduction to a mature veteran beech tree overlooking the City of Bath. This follows approval for the work to a TPO-protected tree.
The tree was 26m which we reduced to 22m. All done by ‘hand’ as there was no access for any machines.
Even our new company workwear is visible!
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”

Dismantle of a multi stem beech tree at Edington which was in decline
We recently felled a multi-stem 20m high beech tree opposite The Three Daggers pub in Edington .The tree was right by the road and was showing signs of dying back. Its position made it unsafe to remain. We were pleased to receive this testimonial from our client:
“Your guys have just felled a large beech tree adjacent to our drive. I wanted to let you know what a good job they did.
The notice said the road would be closed for 2 days but they completed the job in less than 6 hours; very impressive kit, very efficient and helpful. All cleared up tidily, and they left me a gift of logs for firewood.
I was very impressed. Richard”

Treatment of oak trees for Oak Processionary Moth control
Something a little different today in Aldershot
Treatment of oak trees for Oak Processionary Moth control
Forestry Commission guidance is that oak trees within 50m of an infestation removed in 2023 should be treated to control any larvae that have hatched this spring. Treatment is undertaken once the leaves have emerged and provided the larvae with food. 2 treatments, 10 days apart, are undertaken with a naturally- occurring bacteria. This does not affect other wildlife.
Caterpillars of the oak processionary moth (OPM) are a pest which can be a hazard to the health of oak trees, people and animals in this area.

Clear a few small trees over a bridleway was the brief !! The trees were suspended over a dead-end bridleway near Market Lavington. There is one covered in Ivy near which has worsened.

A good article for weekend relaxation (!) by Hannah Jane Parkinson last week on 6th in The Guardian, including a reference to Sycamore Gap.

Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House
Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House today. A two cherry picker day!!
Formerly National Trust, Heywood House in Westbury is now privately run as offices.
A group of trees in the main car park were reduced as they had become too high and the view across to Westbury White Horse was no longer visible from the offices !!
