Comprehensive ground care for productive farmland

Managing a working farm requires constant attention to the land supporting your operations. Our agricultural ground maintenance services cover everything from clearing overgrown ditches and maintaining farm tracks to managing hedgerows and controlling invasive species. We understand that timing matters in farming, so we schedule our work around your planting and harvesting cycles. Whether you need regular maintenance throughout the year or one-off projects to tackle problem areas, our team works efficiently to keep your agricultural land in optimal condition without interfering with your daily farming activities.

Our three-step approach to farm ground maintenance

1

Farm assessment and planning

We visit your property to understand your specific farming operations, identify maintenance priorities, and create a schedule that fits around your agricultural calendar.

2

Efficient maintenance delivery

Our team arrives with professional equipment to complete the work quickly and thoroughly, minimising disruption to your farming activities and livestock.

3

Ongoing support and monitoring

We provide regular maintenance visits or responsive call-out services to address issues as they arise throughout the farming year.

Specialist vegetation management and boundary maintenance

Field boundaries, hedgerows, and drainage ditches need proper management to protect your crops and livestock whilst meeting legal requirements. We provide expert hedge cutting and laying services that maintain healthy boundaries, control unwanted vegetation along fence lines, and clear ditches to prevent waterlogging in your fields. Our team handles everything from routine trimming to complete restoration of neglected hedgerows, always working within the legal cutting seasons to protect nesting birds. We also manage scrubland clearance, remove problematic weeds, and control vegetation around farm buildings and equipment storage areas to reduce fire risks and pest habitats.

Maintaining farmland to meet regulatory standards

Modern farming requires compliance with various environmental and safety regulations. Our maintenance services help you meet cross-compliance requirements for agricultural subsidies, including hedge and ditch management, boundary maintenance, and vegetation control. We understand the Environmental Land Management schemes and can advise on maintaining field margins, buffer strips, and conservation areas whilst keeping the rest of your land productive. Our work also improves farm safety by maintaining clear access routes for emergency vehicles, reducing fire hazards around buildings, and keeping sight lines clear at field entrances.

Active agricultural ditches benefit from annual clearing before winter to prevent waterlogging in fields, though some systems may need attention twice yearly in high-rainfall areas.

Yes, we plan all maintenance work to avoid disturbing livestock and work around field access requirements, coordinating with your farming schedule to minimise any impact on operations.
