Tree planting at the CPFC training facility, BR3

We were commissioned to plant over 100 trees at the training facility for Crystal Palace Football Club. These trees were to replace trees felled to make way for pitches, and we designed and implemented an aftercare package to ensure they thrive over time.

Greening a school playground in Catford, SE6

We served as groundwork contractors at Torridon Infants School, preparing the area and planting native hedges around the playground. The project involved removing concrete and stumps. Children participated, learning about ecology and biodiversity. The initiative, aimed at promoting urban biodiversity and combating pollution, leaves an environmental legacy.

Tree felling in Epsom, KT18

We assisted Canbury Construction in preparing land for a housing development by clearing trees including beech, cherry, lime, horse chestnut, and leylandii. Stump grinding was used in sensitive areas near vital structures. Consultations were held with an arboricultural consultant and local tree officer to determine tree retention and removal.

Controlling ash dieback in London, CR and BR postcodes

We were contracted by the City of London Corporation to manually fell sections of trees infected with ash dieback in specific areas like Coulsdon Common, New Hill, Kenley Common, and West Wickham Common. Ash dieback necessitates either full or section felling of affected trees, especially in sensitive areas. Additionally, we widened high-footfall pathways, enhancing the area's usability.

Tree felling at Lidl, Ashford TW15

Lidl in Ashford reached out to us to remove self-seeded trees blocking their store signage. Before proceeding, an ecologist report was required due to potential bat habitat concerns. After receiving approval, we dispatched a team to fell the trees and employed stump grinders for stump removal.

Tree planting in Biggin Hill, TN16

Bromley Council enlisted our assistance after a woodland owner mistakenly felled numerous trees intending to construct flats. Following reports from neighbors, the council halted the owner's activities and ordered tree replanting. When the owner ignored the council's directive, we were hired to undertake the replanting task

Cedar Tree Felling in Bromley, BR1

For a massive old Cedar's removal in Bromley, significant planning was required. Ensuring safe access for our crane and lorry to transport the tree without damaging the grounds was crucial. Prioritizing staff safety, the team thoroughly discussed the process and conducted a dry run on-site before starting the actual tree felling.

Selective Tree Felling in Chislehurst, Bromley BR7

We created a sensory garden with features with accessible areas to increase the quality of life and time outdoors of a child with with accessibility needs. Navigating conservation area restrictions, we communicated with local authorities to determine permissible tree removals. After securing approval, we selectively felled trees like Robinias, Laurels, and Ash to enhance the outdoor experience.

Tree Planting in Beckenham, Bromley BR3

A residential planting scheme where the whole garden was landscaped. The customer wanted 20 or so Western Red Ceders, approximately 4 metres high. Due to their height we used an underground platypus anchorage system which anchors the root ball to the subbase

Poplar Removal in Chislehurst, Bromley BR7

Following the 2013 storms, we tackled a challenging project in Chislehurst, where a massive Poplar tree fell, bringing down 20 other trees in a Victorian garden. This resulted in approximately 20 tonnes of timber across three gardens and a damaged floodwater culvert. Using a CAT 259 tracked loader, we extracted the timber, albeit facing tough conditions and a few challenges. Despite some obstacles, the operation was successful and timely.

Estate Management in Central London, W2

For over 7 years, we managed the estate of St. George's Fields near Marble Arch, W2, home to approximately 200 trees and hedges. This "oasis in Central London" consists of 300 apartments spread over 2.5 acres of serene woodland gardens, set amidst unique Ziggurat pyramid-style buildings from the 1970s, each adorned with hanging gardens. Originally a burial ground from 1763, the area's history adds a unique touch to its landscape.

Sequoia Tree Felling in Bickley, Bromley BR1

This project required a lot of care and attention due to the close proximity of the tree to the house and shed. A section of such a large tree can easily weigh several tons so even a slight swing can cause a lot of damage.
