Footpath gates erected at Tidworth as part of a larger fencing project to allow grazing and public access.
Our brief was to erect 500m of new barbed wire fence to allow grazing of cattle on chalk grassland to the rear of houses in Tidworth. We then needed to erect new footpath gates to allow access for walkers while remaining cattle proof at the same time. Jan 2019
We think this is our old Unimog still going strong with another contractor.
We sold it 5 years ago, to be replaced by a tractor for the mulcher, as we found the Unimog to be unsuitable

You might have seen us last week clearing back overhanging trees in Bradford on Avon. We were along the riverside between the station car park and swimming pool.

Space was at a premium last week while removing and reducing a row of sycamore trees in Hartmoor Road Devizes

This is now complete. Following a successful planning application approval, the brief was to build a 40 x 20m sand arena. The topsoil was removed and the site levelled with drainage and soakaway. Then a stone sub-base with a membrane underneath was laid, then a second membrane. Finally, the correct sand type was added along with post and rail fence and gates installed.
Here’s a picture of young Lukas dismantling the first of many 60-foot sycamore trees for St Mary’s Hospital in Bristol.
The project necessitated the trees being dismantled for the regeneration of the site into student accommodation.

Something a little different in Poulshot:
Here we used a fifteen feet long telegraph pole for a gate post. The image shows the pole being driven in, and then we used it to hang the gate on.
Our project here was to supply and erect 300m of 2m high palisade fencing for Cross Engineering in Devizes.
Palisade fence panels are the most popular choice for locations today requiring a high level of security and vandal resistance.
Steel palisade fencing is usually the first choice for schools, utility installations and industrial sites. This is because of its high damage resistance and the fact that it is so difficult to climb.

A few images from a couple of dismantle jobs this week with Steve and Justin aloft.
A 60-foot Eucalyptus tree was overhanging a very old stone wall at Rowde, near Devizes.
Then there’s a conifer coming down in Potterne.
Here’s a 60-second video of one of a pair of time trees coming down in Bishops Cannings at the beginning of November. The trees were healthy in themselves but had grown to a height of 100 feet. The roots were undermining the buildings which were planned for a change of use in the near future so needed to be removed.
Lime trees are one of the most iconic British trees forming lined avenues on grand houses and estates. There is even a circle of trees planted in Pewsey, Wiltshire that are still alive and healthy today, designed so that duellers could get some privacy from onlookers when in action!
The action is all in the last few seconds!
