With his axe in hand, there's nowhere the Woodsman prefers to be than sculpting his next laid hedge. Accredited by the National Hedge Laying Society, he is a specialist in his craft. Whether its a gnarly old field hedge or a maiden row of hawthorn, the Woodsman will ensure your hedgerows receive the finest of care.
There's nothing quite like a hazel coppice in Spring. The bright carpet of blue bells and the cacophony of bird song is food for the soul. Looked after correctly, coppice woodlands are fantastic places for people and wildlife. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, your coppice is in safe hands with the Woodsman.
All of the Woodsman's BBQ charcoal is sourced from local, sustainably managed woodlands within or around the Cotswolds. Using a traditional steel ring kiln the wood is heated to over 500 degrees to produce the finest lump wood charcoal this side of the River Thames.
Hedgelaying is a traditional form of hedgerow management which includes the cutting of hedgerow trees to encourage dense regrowth, which forms an effective stock proof barrier and fantastic habitat for wildlife. For more information visit www.hedgelaying.org.uk
