Some drone footage taken part way through the two weeks of works at #CloudStables showing just how much ground was (and was still to be) cleared and levelled. Over 200 tons of mixed hardcore and rubble generated as a result of riddling through 1,500 tons of compost and soil and other debris. All the different materials sorted and piled separately for reuse on site in the case of the hardcore or for disposal off site. An existing soil bund lowered, widened and levelled to create an area for all-weather turn out pens. Derelict buildings demolished, sorted and cleared to regain ground for future use. Large areas that were overgrown with bramble and scrub cleared, any debris removed and sorted and the areas levelled. #siteclearance #groundclearance #scrubclearance #hardcore #rubble #waste #kobelco #kubota #tractor #excavator #ridingstables #liverystables #liveryyard #groundworks #vegetationclearance #drone #dronefootage #equestriancontractor

A busy week on wildflower meadows again last week, with the remainder being cut and collected and some new ones created. This 4 acre site was part of an old industrial yard that had been developed in the last couple of years and the area of wildflower meadow had been left in a terrible state by the previous contractor with large amounts of rubble, scaffolding tube, angle iron and other debris stuck out of the uneven ground. We sprayed off the entire site, (delicately) flail mowed and collected all the vegetation before beginning destoning works with the alpine tractor, powered box rake and our excavator and tractor and dump trailer. Circa 120 tons of rubble, stone, debris and metalwork was removed, leaving a relatively debris free, level surface for seed drilling and future cut and collect mowing. This week we will be drilling a wildflower seed mix formulated for heavy clay soils. Many thanks to Jim at Countryside Restoration for the work with his alpine tractor and box rake. #wildflowers #wildflowerseason #wildflowermeadow #Conservation #cutandclear #wildflowersuk #WildflowerMeadows

Some forestry and tree clearance on a rural property set in some very wet ground. The vast majority of the trees in the grounds had been unmanaged for years previously and high winds over the past few years had taken their toll on them. Multiple large mature poplars had been windblown and fallen in the existing lake and across each other. Large numbers of mature beech trees had died as a result of being sat in standing water for months, becoming unstable and dangerous. The low lying wet ground meant that use of an excavator and grab wasn't possible, so our winch tractor had to operate from a 3m wide nearby causeway to extract them. We cleared all windblown and dangerous trees, felled all the dead Beech trees, extracted each tree individually to the causeway with our winch tractor before they were snedded up, the hardwood stacked for processing into firewood and the Poplar stacked on site for collection. Many thanks to Sundog Hire Ltd for the hire of their tracked Först TR8 chipper which allowed us to travel around in the low lying ground to chip all the brash up without it having to be taken to the causeway. Job completed on time and under the original estimate and budget. #forestry #forestryequipment #forestrymachinery #forestrymachines #treeclearance #treefelling #treecare #treeworks #TreeClearing #kubota #woodchip #woodchipping #först #husqvarna #husqvarnachainsaw

Our 2.4m flail mower collector working to clear some overgrown vegetation on a site clearance job. This will cut the same material our larger 2.6m flail will deal with, but with the added benefit of being able to collect as it cuts. Suitable for anything from fine turf to bramble with various cut heights. #flailmower #flailmowercollector #flailcollector #cutandcollect #grasscutting #grassmowing #mowing #siteclearance #vegetation #vegetationmanagement

Kubota Tractor and Forestry Flail Mower

Our 125hp Kubota Tractor and 2.6m forestry flail mower working on some ground reclamation today for a customer around the corner from one of our yards. Several hectares of overgrown bramble, saplings, scrub and grass mulched down easily even in the rain to clear the site ready for tree works and boundary reclamation in a few weeks time as a further project.

Too windy and wet for herbicide application today so Trevelyan was out with our 5m spring tine harrows making short work of repairing 40 acres of poached equestrian grazing in #Bramshill today before Matt sprays it in a few weeks time to reduce the weed coverage. Drop us a message to see how we can help repair your fields now the ground is drying up. #PaddockMaintenance #FieldMaintenance #paddockmanagement #fieldmanagement #harrowing #Grassland #grasslandmanagement #grasslandmaintenance #springtime #kubota #Hampshire #Berkshire #Surrey #Oxfordshire #wiltshire
