Urban Splash Build – Langworthy Regeneration Project, Salford

This is one of our current projects that we were delighted to have won the Tender for. It entails the supply of plants, and also planting them, at this unique development. It is an inner city regeneration of old terraced properties.

The front has been kept the same as when it was built, but thereafter it is modernistic and minimalistic living. The planting consists of a living bamboo screen, a herbal walkway, trailing ivy planters for screening the end walls and a circular imitation spiral stairway planted with Vinca’s.

Wold View Fisheries

This is another interesting project that we were fortunate to win. It was a 44 acre field that the owner transformed into six separate fishing lakes of different sizes. Our assignment was to transform it into a more wooded area that blended in with the surrounding landscape, as it is just on the edge of the famous Lincolnshire Wolds.

Our materials had to be natural and native to the English countryside. We used a combination of Birch, Rowan, Hornbeam, Ash and Sycamore types, to name a few. There is a considerable number of wet areas that were to be left as wet conservation areas to encourage wildlife. Here we were limited to Willow and Alnus types.

Already our client has got numerous amounts of wildlife onto the site that were not there before the start of the project.

Grimsby Golf Club

This was a great project to be involved with as one of our passions is the game of golf! We had to come up with a species of tree, a minimum of 8m-9m high to plant in front of the 10th tee box. The reason for this was to try and stop the members from hitting their balls into private properties adjacent to the course.

Having looked at the large mature trees on the right hand side of the 10th fairway we decided to plant the same type of tree, namely Tilia cordata Pallida (a type of small leaf lime) and this does seem to have done the trick.

In addition we also planted a line of Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) 12-14cm adjacent to the out of bounds area, which in time will give added protection to the private properties.

Low Road Nurseries

A very unusual project with a very topical theme – the no smoking ban in public houses! Our client asked us to try and locate a large quantity of Prunus lusitanica Augustifolia, the upright Portugal Laurel.

Through one of our many suppliers we managed to find enough for our client to complete his contract. These were a mixture of rootball and pot grown plants at a height of 150-175cm and 175-200cm. This project is ongoing.
