Camel Valley Projects Ltd (CVP) Gardening & Property Maintenance, based in Cornwall, is experiencing a game-changing impact on its operations with the introduction of the GreenMech CS100 chipper. The team at CVP expresses their amazement at the power and performance of the chipper, which has significantly enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness on various jobs across the west coast of Cornwall. According to Director Joe Herzberg, the acquisition of the CS100 through Vincent Tractors in early 2024 has resulted in a complete transformation of their business.
Established in 2016, CVP Gardening & Property Maintenance has rapidly expanded from a single garden and operative to a team of six full-time staff serving over 100 satisfied regular customers. As the business grew, so did the need for a machine capable of handling waste from hedge, tree, and woodland maintenance. Joe Herzberg explains the challenges they faced before acquiring the CS100, saying, “Clients were either having to fork out on cross-hire machinery, or we were spending time and money disposing of the waste at approved sites. Now we can process everything ourselves, charging to cover the cost of our investment and producing re-usable chip and mulch at the same time. In that sense, it has transformed my business.”
He continues to praise the experience with GreenMech and Vincent Tractors, stating, “I was really impressed with the showroom and, most importantly, the service, help, and guidance I received from GreenMech & Vincent Tractors in Fraddon – everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout the demonstration, purchase and post-purchase process which made the team and I very comfortable with investing in our first woodchipper.”
Designed for chipping in confined spaces, GreenMech’s CS100 is the ideal solution with a width of just 760mm. Its 18hp electric start petrol-engine ensures reliable power for ‘on-the-spot’ chipping, making it easy to operate and transport. Joe Herzberg expresses his satisfaction with the machine, stating, “We’ve found it to be easy to operate, simple to transport and it’s delivering the power and performance of a much bigger machine – we’re bowled over by what this machine can do.”
Since its delivery, the CS100 has been actively contributing to large estate projects and other jobs where stored material needed chipping. Herzberg shares the future plans for the machine, saying, “We’ve got plans in the pipeline for the next month and more including estates work, woodland management and thinning out some of the bulk waste stored in my own field under our EA waste licence. It is clear this machine will pay for itself in no time, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision.”
