Andrew was nominated for the Young Entrepreneur Awards as part of the Choose Abingdon programme earlier this year – he was a finalist and received recognition at the Good Living event at Miele Abingdon on Friday 22. March where he was presented with a Highly Commended certificate. The event was a huge success and a great venue to show off the business and its achievements – a very successful trade stand was also held at the event which helped to [...]

The company has been accepted on to the recently-launched OxLogs scheme – please visit the ‘Woodfuel’ page for further details. We are now proud members of Checkatrade and were the first Tree Surgery business to be accepted on to the scheme in Oxfordshire. This involved a detailed examination of the business by Checkatrade, from the collection of feedback to examination of Health and Safety records and insurances. We are pleased that we passed with flying colours and were accepted in [...]

A new full-time employee, Tom Kenyon, joins us on 4. November. He comes from a background in forestry and grounds maintenance. We are all looking forward to another pair of hands ‘on deck’! Ryan Beckett and Tom Davies have just both passed their NPTC Climbing and Aerial Rescue assessments with flying colours. They will be starting to ‘learn the ropes’ over the coming months alongside our experienced climbers, Andrew and Sam.

We have been enormously busy lately dealing with the ‘lush’ start to the growing season! A wet winter coupled with a relatively mild spring has seen excellent growth extension on all trees and shrubs. We have also been busy processing all the timber we took last year in to logs for sale this coming winter. We have some excellent quality wood in stock this year so please do give us a call towards the end of the summer to place [...]

A new full-time member of the team, Declan Carroll, joined us in November. He has fitted in well and is currently developing his skills as a groundsman. He will be trained and assessed through the NPTC for chainsaw use in the New Year. We have had a challenging end to the year with Dax Hedges and Tom Davies off on long-term sick leave. We hope to be back to full capacity in the New Year. We have recently purchased a [...]

We have had a very busy start to 2015 with several large projects now completed in addition to our regular domestic work. The weather has thankfully been relatively kind to us this winter with the exception of the odd miserable, muddy day where waterproofs and drying out smelly ropes in the airing cupboard have been the order of the day! It certainly makes us appreciate the good days. We have invested heavily in new equipment over the last 3 months [...]

We have had a very busy Summer so far and most of the team are taking a well earned holiday as I write this during what is normally our quiet time. We are, however still very busy and I am just about to head off on Honeymoon after getting married in July so frantic last minute work scheduling is the order of the day today. We look after the tree stock for 10 private schools spanning 4 counties at present [...]

2016 is a milestone year for the Company as it is 10 years since I graduated from College and set up the business on my own with an old Land Rover Discovery and a trailer, a couple of chainsaws and a lot of very ‘green’ energy and enthusiasm! A part-time employee soon followed and the Company was born. I remember those early days well, climbing on a 3 knot system, burning everything we could wherever we could and dreaming of [...]

Now that Summer is firmly behind us and we have had the first (albeit light) frost of the Autumn, I have had a chance to draw breath after the busiest Summer we have experienced in 10 years of business and write this. We have managed to keep the weeks packed full with the generally good weather. Tom Davies who has been with the Company since January 2012 left to move on to pastures new at the end of September after [...]

I write this post-Christmas in my warm office looking out at a wintry landscape – it’s a beautiful frosty morning outside; i’m only sad i’m not working as I love being outdoors in these conditions. You work harder to warm up! We are all enjoying our annual Christmas break. We finished work on 23rd. December and will return to normal working hours on 3rd. January 2017. We have had an exceptionally busy end to the year and a good 2016 [...]
