Protected species work
Projects involving protected species can be undertaken, including Great crested newt survey and mitigation work as well as newt fencing and habitat creation. Building specialist habitat boxes such as large bat roost chambers, creating bat corridors and constructing artificial otter holts and badger setts are also possible.
We are happy to discuss your projects and to give advice free of charge.
See our gallery page for examples of our work.
Portable timber milling
We have the ability to cut accurate timber where the tree falls. All we leave behind is sawdust!
The portable milling machine can be carried by hand into the most remote locations to accurately cut the timber required for on-site works, or to make extraction easier.
This approach was recently used to good effect in a project at Stoneycliff Wood.
A range of sized timber can be cut to help with footpath edging, boardwalks, fencing, bridges etc. Our portable milling equipment can handle trees up to 450mm in diameter.
Fences and screens using planked timber make a beautiful and sustainable feature to any garden.
We can also advise on storage and drying times.
