We were delighted with the work undertaken by Ben and Milo. Ben halved our Sycamore tree, hawthorn tree and they cut back the Hazel hedge. All cleared away. So professionally done. We will definitely recommend Ben as a tree surgeon.

Great service, contacted then about sorting out tree that has a TPO on it. They put in the planning application for just £60, and did the work to a very good and quick standard. Very impressed, thanks very much will be using again when my tree needs further work.

Cut down an apple tree for me. They were very professional, on time and efficient. They left my garden and home extremely tidy and even swept my front garden (that attention to detail and kind gesture left me with a smile)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is habitat creation and why is it important?

Habitat creation involves designing and implementing natural spaces that support local wildlife, enhance biodiversity, and restore ecological balance. It’s vital for protecting species, promoting healthier landscapes, and meeting environmental goals such as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) on development sites.

What types of habitat creation services do you offer?

We offer a full range of habitat creation solutions, including tree and hedge planting, habitat regeneration, and wildlife box installation. Each project is tailored to the site’s unique environment and the species you wish to support.

Can habitat creation help with planning applications or Biodiversity Net Gain requirements?

Yes, many planning permissions now require biodiversity enhancements through initiatives like BNG. Our habitat creation services can help you meet these requirements by increasing ecological value on or around your site, supporting smoother planning approvals.

What species benefit from your habitat creation projects?

Depending on the project, we aim to support a wide range of species, including birds, bats, bees, butterflies, small mammals, and native plant communities. We use native trees, hedges, and tailored wildlife boxes to create environments where local ecosystems can thrive.

How long does it take for a new habitat to establish?

While some benefits, like increased shelter or foraging spaces, happen almost immediately, most habitat projects take several months to a few years to fully establish. Factors such as planting season, soil quality, and ongoing maintenance all influence the timeline.

Will you maintain the habitats after they are created?

Yes, we can offer ongoing habitat management and maintenance plans if needed. Regular care, particularly in the early years after planting or installation, is important to ensure long-term success and ecological resilience.

How much does habitat creation cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area, the complexity of the project, the types of planting or installations required, and any specific biodiversity targets. We offer free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your project across Hertfordshire and Devon.
