Chapel Down Vineyard

Chapel Down are an internationally recognized brand with their roots firmly in the South-East of England. They produce a world-class range of sparkling and still wines, together with their award-winning range of Curious beers and cider.

Tag Trees Ltd were initially employed to undertake a site survey for necessary tree maintenance work across the site. Our recommendations from the survey were to fell and clear broken and fallen trees around their vineyard site as well as cutting back trees that significantly overhang the vineyard itself, and generally tidying the site. The works were completed at a time to suit the client, once the harvesting of the fruit was complete.

Since some of the trees that we needed to work on were unsuitable for normal climbing and rigging operations, our team used a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) to undertake some of the works. Upon completion of the cutting back, all the debris taken from the trees was chipped back into the woodland and the logs from any dismantled trees were stacked neatly into eco piles to benefit the local woodland habitat.
