Weeping Willow Restoration – Yelford Manor House, Oxfordshire
Yelford Manor House dates back to 1499. Probably one of the oldest country houses we have the pleasure of working at in Oxfordshire. During some strong gusts, a much loved weeping willow collapsed into the pond. Our tree services were requested to restore the weeping...

Tree Planting – Cumnor Hill, Oxfordshire

Large Beech Tree Removal – Oxfordshire
Occasionally we have a large tree removal that requires the assistance of a specialist crane operator. This large beech tree was protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). However due to the presence of Ganoderma, the fungal bracket seen in the photo at the base of...
Site Clearance at Boars Hill, Oxfordshire
We enjoyed a day of site clearance with the Forestry Mulcher. A beast of a machine for clearing thick vegetation. This site on Boars Hill required the vegetation to be cleared so the developer and architects can measure up and consider options for the site. The...
