For all your garden needs
Troublesome dog walkers straying from the footpath across the paddock and into the clients garden resulted in the need for boundary fencing. Thiis led to the idea of the creation of a woodland to one side and an avenue of trees along the other.
A mix of native species were planted and guarded with larger emergent species at particular points through the scheme.
Project Year: 2013
Project Cost: £10,001 - £25,000
Country: United Kingdom
Area: Mendip Hills
Our starting point. A basic paddock ready to be turned into a small woodland.
With lovely soft ground, an excavator-mounted post auger makes short work of the post holes for the fencing.
Post & rail fencing with stock netting delineates a public right of way
The trees are going in, but the weather is against us!
The newly planted trees are protected from rabbits, deer (and streamers!) in their Tubex tubes.
The completed footpath & woodland. Quite a feature.
2 years on, and these trees have really put on some height already. The use of mycorrhizal fungi tablets in the footballs really helps establishment and reduces early losses. We had almost 100% success here!
