STOCK FENCING
EQUESTRIAN FENCING
George Merrick Services have lots of experience in the construction of timber post and rail equestrian fencing. Hardwood or softwood materials can be used depending on your preference or budget. There are a number of anti-bite fixtures which can be applied, as well as electricfication measures. Please call or email us to discuss your needs further.
ALTERNATIVE FENCING
Living in rural Herefordshire the need for niche styles of fencing has become more and more important. George Merrick Services can accomodate pheasant penning, rabbit and deer fencing, and much more. If you require something different, we can easily provide picket fencing, chestnut fencing and chestnut paling.
GROUNDCARE & CLEARANCE
All aspects of general grounds care and clearance are undertaken. Whether you need simple ground maintenance or larger estate projects to be completed we can help.
CHAINSAWING & LOGGING
Whether you require large areas to be felled or thinned, coppice and pollarding work, orchards pruned or simply some help preparing logs for the winter months, we are here to help. We have all the required insurances and qualifications to be able to carry out professional and reliable chainsaw work no matter how big or small the job.
HEDGE LAYING
Hedge laying is the traditional method of managing hedges throughout large parts of England & Wales, especially in Herefordshire. If you can't tell your Pleachers from your binders, then get in touch for our specialist help and guidance. Due to nesting birds and plant growth (and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) this work only takes place between the Autumn and Spring.
GENERAL SERVICES
Our work does not just begin and end with a chainsaw or set of fencing pliers! We can help farmers and land owners with a variety of jobs throughout the farming calendar. Do not hesitate to contact us for further information about how we can help you. Even if you only require short term cover while a member of staff is unwell or on annual leave.

STOCK FENCING - COTSWOLDS
"We initially engaged George Merrick to erect a 500m stock fence. We found his price to be very competitive and the quality of his work excellent. George was punctual, efficient and professional for the entire project. He has an excellent work ethic – recognising the need to provide a quality service at a sensible price. Consequently we have engaged George on a number of other projects, including the erection of a traditional, split chestnut fence adjacent to the house. George produced an exceptional finished result – anyone attending the barn comments on how well it looks and quality of the workmanship. We have asked George to undertake a further project to erect a privacy fence bordering a public footpath. We have no doubt that this will be undertaken with George’s usual enthusiasm, professionalism and to the exceptionally high standard he always strives to achieve. We have no hesitation in recommending George Merrick to other customers. We will certainly be using his services again in the future" R Slater, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

EQUESTRIAN FENCING - LEDBURY
"Three years ago we were lucky enough to buy a small equestrian yard which did however need a lot of work especially all new fencing and gates. George Merrick was recommended to us by our fencing supplier and since then he has refenced our whole property, put in gates where necessary and also supplied and planted a hedge . George has also given us help and advice with paddock maintenance and has carried this out for us . We have found George to be skilled, professional, polite and reliable . He turns up when he says, and works a full day often in inclement weather. Very importantly for us George is kind and gentle with our horses and is totally honest. We have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending him" Rachel and Ken Hay Fromes Hill, Herefordshire
