Removal of ash trees in Avoncliff this week

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.

Ash tree trimming back in May 2025

Trimming back some not-too-unhealthy ash trees over a neighbouring garden in May in Bishops Cannings near Devizes, it seemed a shame to remove the ash trees just yet.

The Spider MEWP is proving its worth,  being able to access a rear garden through a narrow gateway and still provide 11m outreach and 23m lift!
