52 trucks of Instant Hedging to Stoke

Monday, December 14, 2009

Potteries Way regeneration required an impenetrable and established hedge, which could be quickly installed to meet the completion deadlines set upon Stoke City Council. Inspecting the hedges at our Elveden Nursery, Steve Ralphs, Senior Landscape Architect, and his colleagues agreed that our Green Beech Instant Hedge was the most substantial product they had seen.

The Green Beech Instant Hedge selected was typically 1.8/2.0 metres high, and 60cm deep. Additionally, shorter hedge, 1.4 metres high, was used in other areas.

By liaising closely with the landscape contractor, we were able to deliver hedges in multiples of 25 metre loads, two or three times a day, as access and conditions allowed. Favourable comments were received by Steve Ralphs, both from the local residents, and from the Councillors. "The impact has been dramatic" says Steve. 

The regeneration of Potteries Way has included a significant amount of site clearance, turfing and semi mature tree planting. A CD is available showing the full extent of the landscaping works. Please contact pmann at pracbrown dot co dot uk for a copy.
