Project Overview
Diss Town Council needed a problematic hedge removed that had been overgrowing a public footpath for several years. The hedge had become a safety hazard, obstructing pedestrians and causing accessibility issues.
The work had to be completed before bird nesting season to comply with wildlife protection laws and avoid disruption to local wildlife.
Challenges
- The hedge had spread extensively, encroaching on a public pathway.
- Removal needed to be completed before bird nesting season to comply with environmental regulations.
- The area needed to be cleared efficiently with minimal disruption to pedestrians and the surrounding environment.
Our Approach
1. Planning and Preparation
- We scheduled the removal work as a priority to ensure it was completed before bird nesting season.
- Our team carried out detailed risk assessments to ensure public safety during the process.
- Environmental and safety guidelines were strictly followed to minimise disruption and protect surrounding vegetation.
2. Hedge and Stump Removal
- Using a powerful loader, we efficiently removed the hedge, ensuring all roots and stumps were extracted to prevent regrowth.
- The loader’s precision allowed us to minimise disturbance to nearby plants and infrastructure.
3. Waste Management & Sustainability
- A high-capacity wood chipper was brought on-site to process the hedge waste into wood chippings.
- The chippings were repurposed for biomass energy production, contributing to sustainable energy generation.
- Recycling the hedge waste reduced landfill impact and aligned with eco-friendly waste management practices.
Outcome
- The public footpath is now clear and safe, improving accessibility for pedestrians.
- The project was completed swiftly with minimal disruption to the community.
- Diss Town Council was pleased with our efficiency, professionalism, and commitment to sustainability.
Client Feedback
Diss Town Council praised our team for handling the project professionally, ensuring the work was completed on time and with minimal impact on the public.
