NATURAL GREEN SPACE MANAGEMENT

​
"Following the commission of a comprehensive tree survey at John Blow Primary School, Springwood Tree Services safely, sympathetically and quickly undertook the survey itself and all necessary works that arose from it. Completing the project on time and to budget, they have become our go-to provider for all tree work in and around school. When our EYFS outdoor learning area required a re-vamp, it was a no-brainer for us to ask Springwood to help us. The area was transformed into an inspiring, creative, outdoor learning space due to their vision, creativity, knowledge and collaborative approach to fulfilling our needs.
We now employ Springwood to undertake our bi-weekly grounds maintenance and genuinely couldn’t be happier with their work and attitude towards our contract.
I would recommend Springwood without reservation due to their clear expertise, swift service and friendly, trustworthy team."
Mr B Carver, Headteacher - John Blow Primary School, Collingham.
COMMERCIAL & SCHOOL GROUNDS MAINTENANCE
Offering a comprehensive range of services required to keep your school or commercial property looking, and feeling its best whilst remaining a safe environment for your pupils to learn and play in and your staff to work in, every one of our grounds maintenance packages can be tailored to ensure that the needs of your property are wholly catered for.
Providing a multitude of individual services from grass cutting to maintenance of your trees and hedgerows, and hand-weeding and spraying to strimming or simply marking out your football & sports pitches, we also provide fully bespoke packages built together with you.
LINCOLNSHIRE FENCING
With a perfectly imperfect rustic design, Lincolnshire fencing would traditionally be used for agricultural purposes as stock and boundary fencing. Becoming more popular for domestic settings, traditional Lincolnshire fencing uses Oak or Larch posts and rails. It is a solid and robust fencing option which will look good, withstand the elements and provide solid stock control.
POST AND RAIL FENCING
Strong, long-lasting and aestheictally pleasing, post and rail fencing remains the most popular choice for equestrian, agricultural and rural land owners. With a variety of options available, we will discuss your requirements with you before suggesting the best fit for your property and needs.
WOODLAND MANAGEMENT
A woodland management plan gives owners a structured way to plan and organise the sustainable management of their woodland to a common industry standard.
We can help you to produce a professional plan that will ensure your woodland thrives whilst at the same time is managed to the UK Forestry Standard.
Taking into account all of the living species that rely on the woodland as habitat, a source of food, or simply as a place to enjoy, we will look at everything from the flora and fauna that exist on the woodland floor to the trees that form its structure. We can undertake all practical woodland management tasks as well as completing woodland-related grant applications on your behalf.
ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTANCY
Springwood Trees employs a team of fully qualifed and experienced arborists (tree surgeons) and are able to consult on a variety of tree-related issues including insurance claims, as expert witnesses, planning issues, planting schemes, forestry projects, individual tree health and agri-arb projects. We also specialise in tree-health inspections, surveys and reporting.
SITE CLEARANCE
With access to the latest specialist site clearance equipment, we can help prepare your site by removing any vegetation (including trees). We are able to quickly and safely clear land ready for any landscaping, development, construction or environmental project.
HEDGE PLANTINGÂ
A living fence, hedges provide privacy, shade, noise reduction, natural windbreaks and reduce pollution by absorbing pollutants from the air and releasing clean oxygen for us to breathe.
Providing habitat for countless animal, insect and bird species, we can source and plant all hedge types.
From initial on-site consultation to the planting itself, we will offer advice about the hedge plants that will thrive in your location and give you the benefits you are looking for in planting a hedge. Once in the ground we will provide any kit (stakes, canes, spirals and tree guards etc.) and care instructions to ensure your hedge survives and thrives long into the future.
HEDGE TRIMMING & SHAPING
Springwood Trees are fully experienced in, and kitted-out, qualified and insured to undertake hedge trimming and tidying, no matter how big (or small) your hedges are.
Regular hedge trimming contributes not only to the overall appearance of your hedges, but also to their health and vitality. We use the latest battery powered equipment which reduces our fuel emissions.
With access to a variety of MEWPS (cherry pickers) we are able to undertake large scale hedge reduction projects as well as smaller domest hedge trimming work.
TREE PLANTING
Trees clean the air we breathe, absorbing harmful pollutants through their leaves and bark, and releasing clean oxygen for us to breathe.
A single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants.
We will provide you with advice about what trees will thrive in your setting, source and plant them for you, leaving you with tips on how to care for them once we leave.
We regularly undertake smaller domestic single tree planting work as well as large scale commercial tree planting schemes.
WILDFLOWER MEADOW CREATION
Our countryside was once full of meadows bursting with a gorgeous variety of flowering plants, supporting butterflies, insects, birds and other wildlife. But since the 1930s, we have lost over 99% of those meadows.
Wildflowers provide bees, butterflies and other pollinators with food throughout the year and, according to the WWF, on a single day in summer, one acre of wildflower meadow can contain 3 million flowers and produce 1 kg of nectar sugar. That's enough to support nearly 96,000 honey bees per day.
We would love to help you establish your own wildflower meadow and beautiful wildlife haven.
