Our team operate brushcutter, chainsaw, woodchipper and herbicide licences including EcoPlug Max. We also own and operate a tracked skid steer with height adjustable scrub mower.

Flail Mower Vegetation Clearance

“Small footprint for big conservation gains” We operate tracked machinery to minimise our footprint on sensitive sites. Our adaptable scrub mower is mounted on an adjustable boom to the front of the skid steer and allows us to dictate the cutting height. We can instantly revise the cutting height to safely pass over sheltering animals, habitat features or valuable flora which is to be retained. Our scrub tractor flail mower is perfect for tackling overgrown habitats. It will cut long grass, weeds, thistles and bracken. It even cuts woody materials such as bramble, reeds and small saplings. It is perfect for treating larger areas of vegetation clearance without the need for large machinery

Wildflower seed mixes are usually formulated to provide an abundant food source for pollinators as well as a colourful array of blooms pleasing to the eye.

Key Steps for Wildflower Gardening in Herefordshire

1. Choose the Right Location: Most wildflowers need an open area that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. If your area is shaded, choose woodland wildflower species instead, such as bluebells or wood anemone.
2. Prepare the Soil: Wildflowers thrive in low-nutrient soil.
   • Remove existing vegetation: Clear all existing grass and perennial weeds (like nettles and docks) to create bare soil. For best results, do this a few months before sowing to allow dormant weed seeds to germinate and be removed.
   • Reduce fertility: If your soil is rich (common in areas with a history of intensive farming), consider removing the top few inches of topsoil or growing a “hungry” crop like mustard for a season to draw out nutrients.
   • Create a fine tilth: Break up large clumps of soil and rake the area to a fine, level seedbed.
