Following a tree survey, it was decided that a large ash tree, which was showing signs of acute Ash Dieback, should be removed, given its position adjacent to a road and public house
The safest way was with the Merlo Roto to undertake the dismantling of the tree.
A tricky project to remove 30 dangerous ash trees from a roadside woodland in Avoncliff along a steep, single-track road, with limited spacing, and having to set up machinery on an incline. However, the Merlo makes the operation safe and efficient – it is fitted with a Grapple Saw, has extra-long reach and is better when working on a road as it has tyres and not track.
Given the number of trees to be removed, a full felling licence was applied for and granted by the Forestry Commission.

Not all big machines, Josh is dismantling a conifer tree in a rear garden near Devizes.
Alex and the team were in Box last week :
We were tasked by WCC to remove a 25m lime tree as it was impacting on the walls and local buildings.
As seen in the video, it was a really tricky job to lower all the limbs to avoid damaging anything on the way down.
All the timber and brash had to be carried by hand through the gravestones to the chipper, 200m away, as no access close by. Lime timber is not good for firewood, so off to biomass with the woodchip.
A great job done by all, especially in this heat!

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!
A row of street pollarding was completed by Scott, Antony, Cameron. Dale and others. Great job
15th February
Here, Mark is pollarding willow trees along a watercourse, all made safe and easy with the Vosch grapple saw.
Pollarding is the process of cutting all limbs of the tree back to the main stem to reduce the weight and likelihood of the main stem splitting and failing. This can only be done on certain species of tree that will regenerate afterwards.
