Countryside Access

Preserving the beauty and accessibility of the British countryside is a shared responsibility. At Arborcare, we collaborate with local authorities and The Wildlife Trusts to ensure public footpaths and rights-of-way remain accessible throughout the year. Our comprehensive services encompass the maintenance and improvement of countryside access, footpath resurfacing, construction of bridges and boardwalks, and the installation of updated gates.

To guarantee public access to footpaths, we diligently clear debris, trim and cut back hedges, and resurface pathways. In areas with soft or muddy ground, we expertly construct bridges and boardwalks to provide safe passage. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to the replacement of traditional stiles, kissing gates, and self-closing gates. These accessible structures enable individuals with mobility challenges, as well as parents with pushchairs and wheelchair users, to explore previously inaccessible areas.

As part of our dedication to environmentally conscious practices, we recently embarked on a project to enhance footpath usage. Using sustainably sourced oak from our own felling operations, our team crafted and installed high-quality directional signs that seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings.

We offer flexible countryside access services on either an ad-hoc or annual contract basis to suit your specific needs. Whether you require occasional maintenance or ongoing support, we are here to assist you.
