Tree planting work is seasonal and only starts in earnest once the trees grown by our provider have become dormant (September, or later).

An element of mechanised planting may also be included, which is achieved by purpose built machine and or attachment combining both ground preparation and the planting

of trees in a single operation, allowing for trees to be planted outside of the traditional planting season.
