Our Projects

Take a look at the work we’ve done recently

Commissioned by Alun Griffiths Contractors on behalf of Swindon Borough Council, EcoVigour installed mature trees weighing three tonnes each into engineered structural tree cell systems at Havelock Square in Swindon town centre. Works were delivered within a live retail environment, with full pedestrian management throughout, and EcoVigour was subsequently retained on an ongoing maintenance contract.
When a major limb failed without warning at a busy country park event, coming down on two vehicles and injuring a member of the public, EcoVigour's arboricultural contracts manager was on the phone within minutes and had a team on site within the hour. Working with MEWP access and professional rigging equipment, the team secured the limb, freed the trapped vehicles, and lowered the limb to ground in a controlled manner — all within a live public environment.
Commissioned by Surrey Wildlife Trust under a five-year Defra, Coast to Capital, and National Lottery-funded programme, EcoVigour delivered a multi-site biodiversity enhancement programme across three reserves — including tern island creation at Spynes Mere, silt mitigation and habitat restoration at Godstone Ponds SSSI, and a grasscrete parking installation at Quarry Hanger Nature Reserve. Combined contract value: £485,000.
Appointed by Willmott Dixon Construction at UWIC's School of Art and Design, EcoVigour delivered a complex multi-discipline package encompassing Japanese knotweed encapsulation, sustainable urban drainage installation, and the full construction of an 86-bay car park — including permeable block paving, street lighting, CCTV, parking infrastructure, and pedestrian access works. A strong early performance saw our scope extended from specialist remediation to complete civil delivery.
Engaged by Alun Griffiths Contractors Ltd on behalf of English Heritage, EcoVigour delivered site clearance, fencing, landscaping, and ongoing maintenance works at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. Working within one of the world's most visited heritage attractions, our team was commended for their professionalism and conduct — deploying combined conventional and hydroseeding techniques to achieve successful grass establishment late in the planting season.
EcoVigour undertook specialist desilting and geosynthetic clay relining works at the historic Cardiff Castle Mill Leat as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund restoration programme. Working in close collaboration with CADW, Cardiff Council parks officers, and the archaeological trust, we restored water to this key feature of Cardiff Castle's western wall for the first time in over forty years — while managing Japanese Knotweed and protecting the integrity of the scheduled historic fabric throughout.
EcoVigour carried out a sensitive lake restoration at the CADW Grade II registered American Gardens in Pontypool, removing approximately 0.75 metres of accumulated silt from a 100 x 40 metre historic pond. Works were ecologically programmed to protect resident amphibian populations, with specialist plant and bog mat techniques used to preserve the integrity of the historic clay lining throughout.
Commissioned by Monmouthshire County Council under our arboricultural framework, EcoVigour removed a diseased Beech tree of exceptional scale — approximately 2.4 metres at the base — from alongside the A4136 near Kymin. Delivered under full road closure, with pre-works ecological surveys and a multi-asset plant fleet, this project demonstrates our ability to self-deliver complex, large-scale arboricultural operations from start to finish.
When a mature tree failed and collapsed onto a residential property in Blaenau Gwent, EcoVigour responded rapidly to an urgent call from the Council. Working against a closing weather window, our team deployed a Merlo Roto grapple saw combination to safely dismantle and lift the failed tree from the damaged roof — protecting the property from further harm and clearing the way for emergency repairs.
A modular steel beam footbridge installation delivered as part of the wider canal restoration works at Forest Farm, providing a durable crossing solution through carefully planned lifting, structural assembly, and finishing works.
A specialist pond extension and liner installation scheme delivered at London Luton Airport, combining excavation, concrete outlet works, and a fully tested geomembrane lining system to improve containment and long-term performance.
A major habitat and drainage improvement scheme delivered at Llanrhymney Fields, creating four new wildlife ponds, interconnecting channels, new drainage infrastructure, fencing, and reinstated access routes to support long-term biodiversity and site resilience.
