Tree, Hedge & Shrub Planting

Whether the client is looking for Urban planting ie car parks or pavements or a new countryside woodland we can tailor a package to suit their needs.

• Planting of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers is carried out to the highest standard with excellent establishment rates. Suitable tree guards or fencing (used to protect trees from rabbit and deer browsing) can be supplied and fitted/ erected if required. Woodlands, hedgerows, copses, shelterbelts and individual specimen trees are all planted as part of our projects.
• Maintenance of young woodland plantations is essential for good growth rates and establishment. We aim to optimise the timing of operations, which include: knapsack herbicide spot or band spraying of grasses & weeds around trees; inter-row mowing and/ or strimming of grass between the planted rows(replacing dead trees resulting from natural losses); the removal of plastic guards which have started to split or degrade.
• Felling and clearance operations are undertaken as well as focusing on small trees (up to 15in or 380mm diameter) which require coppicing, scrub clearance or felling. The creation of deadwood habitat piles from at least 10% of arisings is recommended to offer refuges for wildlife and return nutrients back into the woodland ecosystem.
• Pruning operations to improve the timber quality of young hardwood trees are expertly undertaken using a range of hand-held and telescopic saws. Formative and high pruning can be undertaken up to a height of 5m.
