Millstone Landscapes Ltd has recently completed\u00a0the third stage of a five year planting scheme of an urban park area.\u00a0\u00a0The project will\u00a0eventually see us plant over a hundred thousand tree whips and specimen trees.\u00a0 This stage of the planting was carried out\u00a0from Jan 2014 to the end of Feb 2014, planting in excess of twenty thousand tree whips. The conditions that we had to work in were some of the worst we have encountered in our companies history.\u00a0 The photographs show just how bad the conditions were on site.\u00a0\u00a0 Photograph 1 shows us moving mulch across the site to the planting areas.\u00a0 The wet conditions meant that we had to increase the density of mulch dramatically and work off boards when planting.\u00a0 Photographs 2,3 & 4 show the conditions during Jan 2014.\u00a0 The mulch was moved by our 20 tonne excavator which was continually getting bogged down. Photograph 5 shows the soaking wet ground conditions.\u00a0 The surface was graded over with our excavator before mulching, which helped soak up some of the surface water.\u00a0 Photograph 6 shows the completed planting zone.\u00a0 Each whip was protected with a shelter that will remain in place for a five year period until the plants\u00a0have matured. As you can see, through much hard work and tolerance, we still succeeded in\u00a0completing\u00a0the area\u00a0to within our clients deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
