Ash Dieback

With the Ash tree being the third most popular tree in the UK and now with this fungal pathogen spreading through the country at an alarming rate, the damage to our Ash trees is looking to be on par with the Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970’s. Chalara dieback of ash is a fungal pathogen which attacks the leaves of ash trees, causing an infection which spreads from the leaf through the shoots and twigs and into the tree, causing lesions and tissue death. 

The decline poses a risk to landowners for both public safety and deterioration of woodland cover and the ecological, social and economic benefits these woodlands provide. In turn, this is creating problems for forestry and woodland managers as well as causing problems for public safety in parks and on public highways, with many ash trees lining our roads.

What we offer is a professional approach to deal with the problem. With our modern equipment we can safely dismantle trees mechanically by the road side or in a wood. We can also help you market the wood afterwards, and with help from our grant team we can assist you in securing the right grants for replanting as well.

  • Shelter belt creation
  • Spinneys and game coverts
  • Field corner planting

Lake Restoration

Over time your lake or pond will build up silt and will need management, because if left untended reeds, aquatic plants and plant matter will take over a watercourse leaving you with stagnant bodies of water that are unfavourable to anyone above or below the water! Many lakes are suffering from high nutrient concentrations, the second largest reason for failing rivers and a lack of submerged aquatic plant species and ecosystems. We can help dredge and clean you lake, pond or river back to a more habitable place that everyone can enjoy.

Lake and Pond Construction

Are you looking to create your perfect wildlife habitat, we can design you and construct a small pond up to a lake fit for king. What ever your needs and vision we have have it covered.
