Bough tree care, Stroud / Where the wood goes

94%

of everything we cut last year was used again

Measured by weight across 2025. The rest was ash dieback and other diseased wood, which goes to a licensed site so it cannot spread.

Coarse brown wood chip and bark spread on the ground.

58%

Chip to mulch

Chipped on site, then spread on customers’ borders and the allotments at Bowbridge.

29%

Logs to firewood

Split, seasoned for two summers in the yard and sold by the bag.

7%

Habitat piles

Left in a quiet corner of the garden for beetles, fungi and hedgehogs, if you agree.

A pile of cut firewood rounds of mixed sizes, bark still on.
