🌿 Pond Desilting & Biodiversity Restoration 🌿

FGS Pilcher recently completed a lake restoration project for a vineyard client, involving the desilting of a heavily overgrown lake to improve biodiversity and create a healthier habitat for wildlife.
✔️ 2,000m³ of silt and vegetation removed
✔️ Purpose-built above-ground silt lagoon constructed
✔️ Carefully programmed ahead of bird nesting season
✔️ Water safely removed and discharged using low-pressure jetting by sister company FGS Organics

Working sensitively around environmental considerations, the project has helped restore the lake as a valuable natural feature within the vineyard landscape.

🍇 Project Focus: Utilities Trenching at Gusbourne Vineyard

Delivering infrastructure in sensitive, high-end environments requires precision, care and the right approach.

When Gusbourne Vineyard needed new electricity and water connections to support a new outdoor facility, protecting the landscape and visitor experience was essential.

Our team used specialist trenching equipment to install utilities quickly and efficiently, minimising surface disruption and preserving the vineyard’s natural beauty. The result? A fully serviced space ready for alfresco dining and events, completed to a high standard and with minimal impact.

A great example of how the right machinery and expertise can make all the difference.
