Ecological contracting

Ecological contracting often needs more than advice alone. It needs a team that can work safely on site, understand environmental constraints and deliver the physical works required to keep projects moving.

Oliver Brown Ltd supports clients with practical ecological works, habitat creation and site-based environmental measures. From protected species works and pond creation to habitat improvements and specialist access requirements, we provide the machinery, experience and site capability needed to deliver ecological work safely and efficiently.

We can support a wide range of ecological and habitat works, including:

Protected species works, including bats, badgers, great crested newts and reptiles
Pond lining and pond creation
Habitat creation and enhancement
Habitat translocation
Biodiversity support works
Ecological fencing
Vegetation and site clearance linked to ecological requirements
Access, excavation and ground preparation works
Support for quarry, infrastructure, commercial and land management projects

Machinery and Equipment for Ecological Site Work

Many ecological projects require careful access, specialist machinery and the ability to work across difficult ground conditions.

Our equipment includes agricultural and compact tractors, Aebi tractors and attachments, diggers and a range of site machinery suited to ecological, habitat and land-based contracting works.

This allows us to support projects where access, ground conditions, vegetation, water bodies or protected habitats need careful management.

Supporting Contractors, Consultants and Landowners

We work alongside main contractors, ecological consultants, local authorities, developers, quarry operators and landowners to deliver ecological works as part of wider construction, infrastructure, restoration and land management projects.

Whether the requirement is a one-off ecological task or part of a larger programme of works, we can provide a practical contracting team that understands site constraints, programme pressures and environmental responsibilities.
