While it's not usually 'company policy' to fell a mature holly tree as it's coming into berry, the difference is clear.

☀️ Extra light for the garden flowerbeds
😌 Breathing space for our client and their neighbours
🌿 Tree killed organically with salt in the stump
♻️ All disposed of at the green waste recycling centre

It may not be our USP, getting rid of valuable habitat with no moderating replacement, we take a holistic view. If this helps people to connect with nature in their gardens and beyond, one tree is surely a worthy sacrifice!

It's always wonderful to see the habitats we've curated being used by wildlife! This is a pond we created just a few months ago, which has already been found by the local frog population 😍🐸

Our regular clients often see their hedges and woodlands full of beautiful birds and small mammals, or their gardens and meadows full of blooming native wildflowers 🐦‍⬛🪻

Surprisingly for many, this is our busiest time of year. Due to wildflower and wildlife reproductive patterns, September-November are often the best time to perform larger-scale disturbing work such as pond/garden clearances or tree pruning. 🏞️🌳

So, if you're keen to use our services, get in touch today so that we can start the discussion on how to best manage your wild spaces. Or check out our website (https://www.landmaintenance.site) to see examples of our other work, and testimonials from happy customers. 🤝

It's hard to believe these three photos are from the same spot, less than a year apart! 😍 This is a 100m section of hedge that Andy laid last winter and is now thriving, providing shelter for a range of small mammals and birds! 🦔🐦‍⬛

Although it's not technically the end of bird-nesting season for another 12 days, we checked carefully to ensure we weren't disturbing any late nesters. And, from an overgrown, light-blocking, gappy line of trees last year, it's now a dense hedgerow full of berries! 🫐🍒

Cutting it early also gives a chance to some of the slower-growing shrubs like the blackthorns, hawthorns, and rowans to take advantage of this wetter weather to compete with the dog roses and hazels that had shot up! 🌧️🌱

And it lets us check for invasive or other fast-growing native species that can choke out a hedge like brambles, bindweed and elder. (Ngl, it was also just a chance to put our new Stihl hedgetrimmers through their paces and test the battery life! 🔋🪫)

We are delighted to announce our little company is growing! Firstly, we'd love to introduce M Thimm Art to our little team of two! 🤩👋

Meg has several years' experience with Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust and Heeley City Farm, and is completing an MSc. in Environmental Management, focussing on the collaborative management of upland farms. 👏🚜

Secondly, we're so excited to have officially started trading as a Community Interest Company, guaranteeing that any profits will be re-invested into nature recovery in our region. 🐝🦋🦡

This is something Andy has been working on for the past year, alongside Sheffield Social Enterprises Network, to give our clients peace of mind that we truly believe in our ethical mission and won't ever sway from these founding principles of creating beautiful, diverse habitats one wild space at a time. 💪🏞️

We just wanted to share photos of a few of the wildlife ponds we've dug over the years! 😊 Love the UK Wildlife Ponds page for ideas and information, it's helped develop our skills a lot! The first pictures are our most recent, so you can really see the development! 💪

🐝 Have you ever dreamed of a little wildflower bank or a garden meadow to call your own?

🌼 This is one of our great success stories. When we started here, there was a fraction of the flower species.

🐞 Now, two years later, there's a huge amount more diversity of both flowers and insects

🦋 Today alone, we've seen hoverflies, bumblebees, honeybees, ladybirds and 5+ species of butterfly

☎️ So if you fancy the same treatment on your own wild spaces, or want to know more about how we can help, get in touch today!

🏞️ It's also the perfect time to book in pond management, pond creation, tree pruning, or hedgelaying work!
