Aside from our day-to-day project work, we also continue to carry out ongoing maintenance obligations from previously completed projects.

It was a slower start to the year due to the cold, wet weather here in the North East. However, now that summer is officially underway, we are making great progress through this year’s maintenance list.

Here is a small selection of photos showing some of the works recently undertaken.

If you have any maintenance requirements, or would simply like to make an enquiry, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d be happy to see how we can help.

For the first time in a few months, our big horse is back in the yard. The next pit stop will be a good washing down of everything except for the windscreen, which is brand new.......

This machine is available to go to work so if you have any projects about to start or upcoming, please get in touch and we will be happy to see how we can help.

This machine comes with a standard aray of buckets, as well as a V-bucket, rake and a screening bucket.

It also has onboard GPS which comes into its own on construction projects.

I knew I hadn’t posted anything on this page for a while and looking back, it was January and we are now in May….. where is the year going?!

We have been working away across a variety of projects, some of which will be uploaded here in due course.

One recent project we were involved in was at the Seaton Park wetlands in Aberdeen.

Following a prolonged period without active management, the wetlands at Seaton Park, Aberdeen, had become heavily overgrown with bullrushes (reeds), resulting in a number of environmental issues across the site.

Whilst reeds form part of a natural wetland environment, unmanaged growth can become highly invasive. Spreading through extensive rhizome systems, the vegetation had begun dominating the habitat, crowding out other plant species, reducing biodiversity, and restricting the natural movement and circulation of water throughout the wetlands.

The overgrowth had also contributed to significant sediment build-up, blocked drainage channels feeding the wetland system, and an accumulation of decaying vegetation. In turn, this was accelerating the transition of open water areas into marshland and contributing to poor water quality and unpleasant odours across the site.

In advance of the bird nesting season, a programme of selective excavation and vegetation management works was undertaken. A substantial quantity of reeds and associated root structures were removed in order to restore open water areas, improve water flow, and rebalance the habitat.

Careful consideration was given to ecological requirements throughout the works, with selected areas intentionally left undisturbed to preserve shelter, nesting opportunities, and biodiversity within the wetland environment.

The results were immediate, with open water areas beginning to re-establish and wildlife activity increasing shortly after completion of the works. Follow-up inspections have confirmed a significant improvement in the overall condition of the wetlands, including the removal of odour issues and the continued return of wetland wildlife to the restored habitat.

The new ducklings certainly seem to approve.

2025 saw us open the years long project list with a new boardwalk at the Donmouth nature reserve. The year was closed with a new boardwalk at Maidencraig, book ending the year nicely. Albeit we did fix the anti-slip grip strips after Christmas, hence the snow.

Whilst shorter than some of our previous examples, this one was located at the bottom of a steep embankment through some very boggy ground. It had become very unstable, the deck was collapsing, it was very narrow and very slippery.

We opted to alter the route of the new structure relative to the path of the previous boardwalk. This provided better desire lines for the incoming footpaths. This also gave us the opportunity to incorporate the old boardwalk and make it a feature of the new one.

As a homage to the previous structure, we built the new one through a section of the old boardwalk which can now be seen extending from underneath the deck of the new one. Tied together, it has become a throwback to what once was, as it is reclaimed by nature.

Well the snow has certainly made it a more challenging start to the regular schedule following the festive break.....

After a few days of the usual christmas over indulgence, a dose of reality was required. I decided it was time to make a start to screening and prepping the landscaping bark for 2026.

We can bulk bag this material so if anybody requires it for gardens, landscape beds etc, feel free to get in touch.

Hopefully everyone is having a good christmas break thus far.

Its that time of year again, bare root tree planting season.

A short video clip of the mulcher being used for the first time earlier this week.

We were asked to create an access track through some old scrub land which was full of stumps, ruts, mounds, as well as clear some gorse.

I was pleased to see the machine eat anything in its path. Next week it goes to a different job location.

We’ve just acquired this FAE forestry mulcher, and the first impressions are in. What a serious piece of kit. This beast will turn overgrown scrub, small trees and stumps into clean, usable ground in no time. To name but a few, this will be ideal for:

🌿 Land clearance
🌾 Land reclamation
🔥 Firebreaks
🏗 Site prep and access tracks
🌲 Forestry works

With its first job lined up for a couple of weeks’ time, I’m looking forward to seeing it perform with us in anger.
Do you think this could be of use to you? If so, get in touch and we can see what we can do.
