Our Equipment & Tools

The right machine makes a job safer, faster, and cheaper. Seven teams run from a fleet built over twenty years: chippers, stump grinders, tractors and flails, access platforms, and the kit in between.

Owned, Maintained, Operated In-House

Anyone can hire a machine for a day. Owning and running a fleet is a different proposition: operators who know their own kit, maintenance that happens before things fail rather than after, and the ability to put the right machine on your site this week rather than whenever the hire yard has one free.

Every machine on this page is ours. We run it from our yard at Shurdington, service it there, and crew it with directly employed teams. That is what lets us commit to a start date and hold it, whether the job is a phased contract across a council estate or a single tree behind a terrace with a gateway to get through.

Plant and machinery

The heavy end of our fleet, and the reason we can take on work that would otherwise need a specialist subcontractor brought in.

Valtra T254 tractor, running Heizohack chipper and crane attachments
JCB 520 Loadall telescopic handler, working as both loader and forklift, so bulk material and palletised deliveries are handled by one machine
JCB 8008 micro excavator, 950kg and 700mm wide, narrow enough to pass through a standard doorway and reach rear gardens, courtyards and enclosed spaces nothing larger can get to
Avant 650i compact articulated loader, for restricted access and surfaces that will not take a full-size machine
Spider crane arriving shortly, for lifts in courtyards, behind buildings and on sites a conventional crane cannot reach

Chipping, processing and stump removal

Enough processing capacity to keep more than one crew productive on the same site, and to clear arisings as we go rather than stockpiling them.

Multiple chippers, towed and tractor-mounted, so parallel crews can each process on site
Heizohack tractor-mounted chipper for high volume and estate-scale clearance
Large tracked stump grinder for mature and multi-stem stumps
Compact stump grinder that fits through a standard gateway, for gardens with pedestrian access only
Log splitter, so usable timber becomes seasoned firewood instead of a disposal cost

Saws, cutting and handheld

We standardise on two manufacturers rather than buying whatever is cheapest. One parts and battery ecosystem, and a spare on the shelf for anything that fails mid-job.

Climbing, rigging and access

Sectional dismantling over buildings, glasshouses and live roads is the work that separates a qualified team from a general contractor.

Full climbing systems, ropes, harnesses and friction devices
Rigging kit for controlled dismantling over structures and boundaries
A-frame ladders for lower access work
Chainsaw-rated protection throughout: helmets with visor and ear defence, cut-resistant trousers, boots and gloves

Fleet and transport

Enough vehicles and towing capacity to run separate crews in different counties on the same day, which is what makes covering ground practical rather than theoretical.

Citroën Berlingo vans for survey visits and small works
Citroën Relay vans for crews, tools and arisings
Toyota Hilux for towing and access across soft ground
Ifor Williams trailers and flat beds for moving plant between sites

Grounds care, soft washing and treatments

The maintenance side of the business, from scheduled grounds contracts through to render and hard surface cleaning.

Stihl soft washing equipment for render, roofs, cladding and hard surfaces
Mowers, strimmers and hedge cutting for scheduled grounds maintenance
Cement mixers for landscaping and hard surfacing
Professional amenity treatments covering selective turf herbicides, moss control, lawn tonics and insecticides, applied by certificated operators under COSHH assessment, with application records kept for every site

Site recording and aerial footage

We record work as it happens, both for clients who want an audit trail on a phased contract and for showing the scale of a job once it is done.

Sub-250g aerial camera, flown under our CAA operator registration and in the lightest class the regulations allow, which means footage can be captured over public areas without the additional permissions and site clearances a heavier aircraft would need
Time lapse cameras on phased contracts, so clients can follow progress without attending site
Action cameras for method recording and toolbox talks
Aerial views of upper canopy and roof-level areas where a ground-level photograph will not show the issue
