Planting Native Species for Wildlife Support
As part of our habitat-sensitive approach, we encourage the planting of native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers to create sustainable food sources for birds, pollinators, and small mammals. These species are perfectly adapted to Devon’s climate and soil, supporting biodiversity by offering nectar, berries, seeds, and shelter throughout the seasons. Whether you're restoring a hedgerow or enhancing a meadow, we can help select and establish plants that benefit both wildlife and landscape resilience.
Efficient Waste Removal & Site Clean-Up
Our high-capacity chipper and 4WD tipper truck allow us to process and remove vegetation quickly and cleanly — leaving your site tidy, safe, and ready for its next phase.
