Forestry ground prep is a major part of our work at Taiga Upland!
We work with a wide range of customers across both the private and public sector, helping prepare sites for second rotation forestry crops.
Getting the planting position right is hugely important. Good ground prep gives the new crop the best possible chance of establishing quickly and successfully.
Every site has its own challenges. Some are steep, rocky upland sites while others are lower ground brown earth sites. Different conditions, different challenges and different approaches required.
That’s where experience and skilled operators make the difference.
With careful planning, the right equipment and strong communication with the customer, we work hard to get the job done right first time.

A tough winter on the tops. Now the snow’s off and we’re back.
You don’t see this work from the road. Hours in the cab, eyes on the ground, restoring peatland one bund at a time — repairing decades of damage so these uplands can hold water, store carbon, and come back to life.
Proud of the operators putting in the graft!

Another woodland creation project completed on time and on budget for a local sporting estate!
This was a complex multi-coupe native woodland creation scheme with a range of objectives including shelter, biodiversity improvement and sporting benefit.
Taiga Upland delivered both the ground prep and the fencing works on this project, helping create a smooth and efficient programme from start to finish.
This is where our approach really adds value. Combining quality stock fencing with low-impact invert mounding gives the trees the best possible chance to establish quickly and successfully.
Having one contractor deliver multiple operations also improves communication, efficiency and coordination across the whole project.
Good planning, experienced teams and the right equipment all combining to deliver a strong result.

A bit of a start to the week — one of our pickups was in an accident on the A9 yesterday morning. Not our fault, and thankfully everyone walked away fine. The Hilux took the hit and proved every bit as tough as we ask it to be.
The phone hasn't stopped. Friends, customers, neighbours, other operators on the road — thank you for taking the time to check in. It means a lot.
Things happen. The main thing is everyone went home safe!

Landscape-scale peatland restoration is about much more than just getting machines on site.
It takes planning, coordination, skilled operators and strong leadership to keep large and complex upland projects moving safely and efficiently.
This spring our teams have been back on the high ground working across a huge peatland restoration site with multiple machines, major erosion features and a lot of ground to cover.
Sites like this are constantly changing. Ground conditions, weather and access all need managed while still maintaining quality and momentum across the project.
That’s where experience makes the difference!
With specialist low ground pressure equipment, experienced teams and a disciplined approach to delivery, we’re able to tackle large-scale restoration projects across Scotland’s uplands.
Big sites. Tough ground. High standards.
