Orchard Management

Pruning - Planting - Propping - Deadwood management

Orchards are incredible ecosystems with diverse fauna and rich flora if managed well. Fruit trees become veterans at relatively early age compared to other species such as an oak tree which means orchards  offer specialist habitat such as cavities, loose bark and deadwood for wildlife species. We have experience working to conserve traditional Gloucestershire orchards. We provide advice and high quality veteran tree care to promote longevity in fruit trees as well as planting replacement trees and establishment care to ensure continuity, We can provide expert  pruning for neglected fruit trees that require restoration care. 

Tree Planting



We realise the importance of tree continuity and offer services in species selection, manual tree planting , mulching, tree protection and aftercare during establishment years for many different projects. We special in low density plantings such as parkland, wood pasture, avenues and orchards. 


 Species choice -Planting - Protection 

Tree Pruning


Crown reductions - Thinning - Pollarding - Crown raising

We have extensive experience in all aspects of tree pruning having worked on hundreds of different trees. We know how different tree species react differently to pruning and offer expert advice  and deliverance of pruning to the highest of standards. We can process any pruning arisings into woodchip with our woodchipper  and remove from site.


Wood Pasture


Wood pasture is a crucially important habitat for conservation due to its unique mosaic of open grassland and scattered veteran trees, which supports an exceptional variety of wildlife and provides a link to ancient cultural landscapes. Unlike dense woodlands, this semi-open environment prevents species from being outcompeted, fostering a richer biodiversity.


Key principles of rewilding wood pasture

    • Mimic natural processes:
    • Increase structural diversity
    • Restore hydrological processes
    • Create habitat mosaics


We can help you create new, maintain existing, or improve wood pasture with our expert knowledge and practical skills.
