Planting Scheme
Design (Plant Selection)
When choosing trees, shrubs or other plants it is important
to consider the purpose of the planting and the soil and site
conditions.
Purpose - in a planting scheme different trees and
shrubs will fulfill different roles such as mature plants
adding landscape structure, hedging to form a barrier, ground
cover for soil stabilisation and weed control and a mix of
evergreen, deciduous and flowering plants to give year round
interest.
Conditions - each location will have different site
conditions and soil type and consideration should be given
to appropriate plants to meet these conditions for effective
establishment.
Native Species - the use of plants
that are native to the region in which they are being planted
will be beneficial in ensuring their establishment and long-term
survival and will also create a visual effect which is consistent
with the surrounding area and a suitable wildlife habitat.
R, E & L Thurlow Ltd are experienced in selecting the right
plants for the purpose and conditions and will create a suitable
planting scheme for your project and then source high quality,
hardy, native plant stock.

Woodland Design
and Management
In response to growing demand for woodland planting arising
from the decline of agricultural incomes, we are able to offer
in partnership with FBS Woodland Solutions Ltd, a service
to assist in obtaining the maximum possible financial support
for tree planting.
Government and private grants are available for the establishment and maintenance of new woodlands, and there is also assistance available for improving and maintaining existing woodlands and for biomass production.
Where appropriate, a woodland plan can be designed to help to maximise the potential for wood production, sporting opportunities, conservation, amenity, shelter and landscaping as major objectives.
FBS have developed a unique crop model for reducing the traditionally
long rotations of forestry to enable positive financial outcomes
within radically shorter timescales (one recent trial has
reached sufficient size to yield timber for the energy market
from thinnings within 3 years).
They can also assess existing woodland and make recommendations
on possible management options and product marketing opportunities.
We will also tell you what grants are available and can help
secure them for you.
FBS are specialists in bringing derelict and under-managed
woodland back into economic production and we can often find
ways of doing this whilst generating income and improving
the woodland's environmental value.
Wood Energy
FBS can also advise on the installation and fuel supply for
wood burning heat system installations as well as growing
the trees with this end use specifically in mind, using the
"short rotation forestry crop model" they have developed.

Metal Tree Guards, Railings, Security Grilles, etc.
A large part of our business comes from selling trees and it seemed
a natural progression to offer our client’s the opportunity of
buying metallic protective tree guards.
These can be made to
the client’s
own specification in light, medium or heavy duty black painted metal
by an extremely well qualified craftsman.
We recently supplied some heavy
duty guards to protect trees in a well known supermarket’s car
park to prevent vandalism to their trees! The photo below
shows a guard made of light gauge steel and gives an indication of the
quality that we can offer.
We hope you will give us the opportunity of
quoting you for your requirements and take advantage of this
new service that we can offer. We have not quoted a price
on this website as the designs and specifications available are varied
and vast, but we are sure you will find us competitive.
Apart from Guards we can also offer a full range of railings, security grilles, in fact anything to do with metalcraft. Please do not hesitate to enquire into our full range. The photo below shows railings recently made and supplied to a new build in Lincolnshire.
