Providing your Landscape Solutions in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire
Gardening and grounds maintenance for schools and colleges
Over the Summer, Phase One of a major landscaping project was completed at the new Open
Academy school in Norwich for Kier Eastern. We have planted 56 trees at Norfolk's flagship
academy and laid over 7000 sq metres of turf ready for the new term which started on 6th September.
This project utilised our state of the art TIM 7155 'big roll' turf-laying machine and the Kesmac roller (pictured) to create perfect lawned areas. Each 'big roll' is the equivalent of 20 small rolls of turf, increasing efficiency and giving a better establishment of the turf.
In addition to tree planting and turf laying, we also created an ecology area for pupils to use, by planting a large pond and seeding areas with wildflower meadow seed.
Elsewhere on site thousands of shrubs and perennials, many of which are native to Great Britain, were planted to give 'instant effect', including a sensory garden with herbs that pupils can use as ingredients in their cookery lessons.
Phases Two and Three, due for completion in April 2011, will involve the planting of around 100 semi mature trees, 7,000 metres of turf and over 10,000 flowering bulbs.

Schools and Colleges
Developing children and assisting them in becoming young adults, in many respects, has similarities with our work as horticulturists.
Providing the correct growing conditions is especially important whether considering the academic, sporting or social development of young people and we feel that our services can assist and complement all types of education facilities whatever their individual needs or requirements.
We currently work in both the private and public sectors with learning facilities from nursery’s to regional colleges across the eastern region.
The services we offer include contract landscape maintenance, sports field maintenance, specialist arboricultural surveying, soft landscaping renovations to the design and construction of environmentally friendly and sensory gardens.
To enable us to deliver these services our fully trained staff are CSCS card holders, CRB checked and supplied with all of the latest equipment.
SPORTS PITCH CARE & RENOVATION
We are highly experienced in maintaining a wide variety of winter and summer sports pitches and facilities including rugby, football, hockey and full athletic facilities, and we also maintain all-weather pitches including Astro-Turf and Redgra.
Whatever your requirements we are committed to providing a professional and affordable sports field maintenance service specific to your needs and budget.
