John O'Conner Ground Maintenance

Despite the weather last week, our Arboriculture team engaged in a productive and engaging discussion on the princi. As kids (and adults, admittedly), we're left disappointed when pulling apart our curtains on a cold winter morning and not finding any snow. We'll usually conclude that it is not cold enough - but have you ever considered that it might be too cold? This article will explain the idea in greater detail and provide tips on how to protect your grounds over the winter.

At John O'Conner, we are proud to provide innovative pest control services to clients across the UK. We deliver a comprehensive service whether it's a one-off infestation or an integrated pest management contract. Pest prevention is essential for many commercial businesses - particularly in the retail, hospitality and catering sectors where brand reputation is important. In order to retain high health and safety standards, any signs of an infestation should be attended to as soon as possible. Bees are important pollinators and rarely present a threat to the public; elimination is only ever used as a last resort.

The presence of a wasp nest in or around a business can be a major deterrent for customers - not to mention a potential health hazard should a swarm become enraged. Here at John O'Conner, we provide full wasp nest removal across the UK, ensuring a wasp colony doesn't present any kind of threat or distraction to the healthy operation of your business. Naturally, we are often asked about bee nest removal as well. While we do carry out this service, we understand how important the honey bee is to our ecosystem (we even provide a full bee keeping service!).

Whether a new build or a retrofit, we can provide a complete green roof or living wall design service for your living roof or wall. A basic green or 'extensive' roof is planted or colonised by a limited number of grass, moss or succulent species. These are perfectly adapted to the relatively shallow substrate required and require minimal maintenance. A living or 'intensive' roof is far more visually attractive and can support lawns and larger plants. However, the weight of these roofs can be considerable due to the greater planting depth.

A common nuisance across urban areas throughout the UK, invasive birds - such as pigeons and seagulls - will flock to an area and stay there, unless preventative measures are put in place. At John O'Conner, we use effective bird removal and prevention solutions to keep your commercial property clean and free from nuisance birds - and all the health and safety risks associated with bird pests. A large part of our bird control services revolves around the installation of bespoke bird proofing materials around your site.

John O'Conner provide maintenance packages tailored to your property and its living roof or wall. Basic green or 'extensive' roofs require minimal maintenance. We recommend two visits a year to remove unwanted leaves, detritus or self-set vegetation. This is important to ensure drainage channels remain unimpeded, and that undesirable vegetation is not given a chance to establish. We will also provide a chemical application to any adjacent hard surfaces or aggregates to control weed growth. Living or 'intensive' roofs and walls contain a much wider variety of planting that can include lawns and much larger plants.
