Millstone Landscapes Ltd have just completed a large community project at a development near Andover for Persimmon Homes South Coast. The works involved the creation of a vast community area for the residents of the development named Harewood Common. The Common, which was\u00a0originally an agricultural field, backs onto a mature woodland area; Harewood Forest. The field was left neglected for many years prior to our works.\u00a0We started by clearing the whole area of wild vegetation and then seeding with 25,000 m2 of Wild flower grass seed.\u00a0 Wild Poppy’s were added\u00a0 into the seed mix to commemorate this years First World War Centenary.\u00a0 We planted over 12,000 native whips along the boundary of the Woodland.\u00a0 Every whip was protected by a tree shelter and mulched at the base to discourage weed growth and to retain moisture presence around the root system. Each planting zone was protected by a boundary of rabbit fencing, installed by ourselves, using tanalised timber rails and rabbit netting.\u00a0 On one boundary, over 200+ heavy standard trees were planted at 5 meter centres, shown on the above photograph. We commenced the project in\u00a0early November of last year. Working in very difficult conditions, from the\u00a0unusually wet Winter, we persisted to work through the elements and managed to achieve our\u00a0deadline and scheduled target for our client. The photographs show some of the planting carried out.\u00a0The projects cost was in excess of \u00a3250,000 to landscape the whole area. By planting a vast\u00a0number of native whip species and semi mature trees, we have created an area which will establish and be used and enjoyed by many future generations. The common, now completed, will be maintained by us for a five year period to ensure a successfull and healthy establishment. By successfully carrying out these projects, we continue to prove that our experience and expertise in completing these larger schemes is esssential to ensure our clients targets and deadlines are achieved well within schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
