Sign Writing

We picked up our chip truck after its sign writing yesterday. It looks a lot smarter now, just need to get the pickup done to match.

Chipping on site

We try to recommend leaving all wood chippings/mulch on site, this replaces all the nutrients back into soil.

Removing the chippings and leaves strips the local area of much needed nutrients. If we remove the mulch from the site, it is taken to eco composting, where it is recycled into compost.

Logs are normally chopped, stacked and used the following year for firewood.

I'm not enjoying the rainy days! Roll on the summer.

New Stump grinder

Up until yesterday we passed all our stump removals onto another company, but recently we have lost a couple of jobs because we couldn't remove the stumps ourselves. We can now remove all but the largest stumps, using our husqvarna SG13 stump grinder


We have already removed two stumps, its a great machine, but hard work!

Wood chipper in action

Just a short video of me feeding our Timberwold 125. Its a great little chipper which hasn't missed a beat since we bought it. Where possible we leave the chippings with the customer to use as mulch, its always best to return the nutrients back into the ground. Where the customer has no need for the chippings we remove and recycle them, most of our chippings are taken to eco in Parley, Christchurch.

Our Website

http://www.lennoxservices.co.uk/

This is our secound attempt at a website. The first site I put together myself, while it served its purpose and did get our name out there, my website builing skills weren't up to much.

We asked a fellow car club member (http://www.djcc.co.nr/) to build us a simple site, after a few tweaks and a couple of new pages by myself we have our new site up and running. If anyone has any comments of feedback I'd be greatful to hear it. We also have a facebook page. Just search for lennox services on facebook, thats where I've uploaded most of our pics.

My aim for this blog is to show our current customers and our potential customers what we do and how we go about doing it. Its also a great opportunity to show off our work :)

This picture is from one of our regular garden maintenance jobs. We look after the entire grounds.

Lennox Services

Lennox Services is a small family tree surgery and grounds maintenance business.
Ian and myself (Paul) started the business in early 2006, Ian had completed his apprenticeship, his NVQs in arboriculture and forestry and was looking to start up on his own. I left my career in electrical engineering (the office life wasn't for me) and booked myself in for my first chainsaw course. Starting from scratch was hard going at first, but we were both doing something we enjoyed.

We now hold all our relevant NPTC certificates, have all the equipment we need and are enjoying the outdoor life.

We cover all areas within Dorset and have travelled as far out as Wales for a larger contract.

Tree surgeons covering, Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Blanford, Lytchett, Creekmoor, Upton, Hamworthy, Ringwood, Three legged cross, Bransgore and the surrounding areas.
