For over four decades, a 17th-century walled garden in Devon (England, UK) has lay hidden beneath ivy and brambles – a forgotten relic of England’s horticultural past. Today, it is stirring back to life.
With the help of developer and groundworks specialist TimberTek Ltd., and the quiet strength of a Yanmar C30R tracked dumper, the area is being restored to its former glory and opened once again to the community.
What was once a wilderness is slowly being transformed into a place of beauty and purpose: a space where history, nature, and people can flourish together.
At the heart of this delicate work is the Yanmar C30R tracked dumper (Operating Weight: 2,650 kg), supplied by local dealer Machine Serve. Compact, low-impact, and designed for confined spaces, it moves soil, stone, and debris without disturbing the fragile terrain.
“The tracked design means minimal ground pressure,” says Simeon Reeves, founder of TimberTek. “It can move loads without leaving deep marks or damaging the soil structure.”
Meanwhile, its swivel dumping and reversible operator seat give the team agility where space is tight. “The swivel seat makes such a difference,” Simeon adds. “You can change direction easily without turning the whole machine around.”
