Overgrown Vegitation
If you have an issue with overgrown vegetation or scrub, be it a small or large area or a boundary, AES Contracting can provide site clearance services. We offer full vegetation removal, including tree clearance, tree maintenance and hedge cutting to leave your site clear and open, or to cut
back and neaten boundaries.
Clearing overgrown vegetation allows you to use the space as you choose and prepares sites for further groundworks, construction or development. If you require, our land management experts and agricultural contractors in Ashford can provide further services following vegetation clearance, such as excavation.
Equestrian Construction
We regularly work with clients who require help with equestrian construction projects and management services for equestrian facilities. We are skilled in all aspects of equine groundworks, such as concrete bases, ditch work, drainage installation, fencing repair/replacement and preparation for lunge pens and sand schools.
Our team in Ashford also provides complete services for sand school construction, encompassing design, planning and construction.
Ponds and Ditches
Over time, silt builds up on the bed of ponds and other bodies of water. Silt is made up of dead leaves and other organic materials as well as run off from the surrounding environment. AES Contracting's land management solutions include removing silt from ponds to avoid issues such as:
• Reduced water depth
• Increased risk of flooding
• Unpleasant smells
• Eventual loss of the pond
In addition, our work as agricultural contractors involves clearing ditches to support effective land drainage and prevent flooding.
Groundworks for Construction and Development
AES Contracting assists with site preparation for all kinds of construction and development projects in Ashford and the wider Kent region. Whether you are planning anything from a new agricultural building to a housing development, we deliver efficient groundworks tailored to your needs.
Our services include site clearance, demolition of small buildings, bulk excavations, drainage, equine groundworks, concrete bases and sand school construction. We also provide supporting services for earthworks and utility services.
Services include:
Bulk Excavation
Bulk excavation involves moving large amounts of soil and rock, generally for construction purposes. We undertake bulk excavation to make surfaces the right height and level for planned construction, such as new arenas or stables. To ensure excavations go smoothly, we first assess the type of ground to determine the right machinery for the job.
Ditch Work
As part of equine groundworks, our team can construct new ditch systems and culverts to support land drainage, helping prevent flooding and maintain ground conditions. We also offer maintenance services to keep these systems working effectively. This includes rectifying issues with ditches not flowing properly.
Drainage
AES Contracting provides appropriate drainage solutions for equestrian facilities, helping maintain the quality, safety and usability of different
surfaces/areas. When constructing sand schools, we design and install sub-surface drainage. We can also install drainage for other areas such as
fields and yards.
