LARGEST TREE MOVING SPADE IN UK - NOW LIFTING UP TO A 2.5M POD!
We are proud to announce the purchase of one of the largest tree spades that Europe has seen, let alone Great Britain, where she will reside and work alongside our Heritage fleet of tree spades. The opportunity to save, by relocating, larger trees never before movable, is a great moment for tree management in Great Britain. The long journey is now complete; from Philadelphia through Maryland to Baltimore and across the Atlantic to Southampton UK, then onto a low loader and delivered to our premises. We have received the type approval process and relocation works, lifting up to a 2.5m pod, are successfully proceding with our specialist team. Exciting times!
REVISITING OUR PLANTING
REVISITING A FORMAL YEW CONE PLANTING DESIGN FROM HUGO THAT WE INSTALLED A FEW YEARS AGO - SPLENDID!
VETERAN CONSULTANCY & SOLUTIONS
YESTERDAY'S TREE - TODAY'S TREE - TOMORROW'S TREE
We had the privilege of working on The Druids Oak with the City of London Corporation at Burnham Beeches.
Tension on the historic (c40+installation) cable braces (now pulling on deadwood anchor points) led to our recommendation for some intervention to hopefully aid future management. Intervening at this point will allow time for both the tree, and its custodians, to respond to the inevitable failure of the (piano string) tension support from the cable braces. This semi-dynamic, adjustable aid, with the potential for a modular attachment propping system, will (as with any venture into tree management projects) be an interesting project to watch for its future progression and development, over many years to come.
