Hedge cutting and tree work from our own yard in Brandon

Soil and species we deal with here

The free draining Breckland sand around Brandon is brilliant for drainage and poor at holding anything. New lawns need soil improvement before turf goes down or the grass browns off the first dry fortnight in June.

Self seeded Scots pine and birch from the forest edge grow fast in gardens backing onto Thetford Forest, and they are the trees we are most often called to reduce or take down.

• Turf on Breck sand: soil improvement before laying, never turf straight onto it
• Forest edge pine and birch: crown lifts, reductions and removals
• Leylandii boundaries on the estate roads: annual control before they pass ladder height

Being ten minutes away matters most in a storm

Brandon catches the wind coming across open Breck with nothing to slow it. When a pine comes over in a gale we can usually attend the same night, because we are not driving in from another county.

Craig answers the emergency number himself, so you get an assessment on the phone straight away rather than a message left with an office.

Regular work around IP27

A good number of Brandon customers are on a repeat schedule: grass and edges through the summer, a hedge cut in September, leaves through November. It keeps the annual cost flat and stops any one job becoming a big one.
