Green-tech has supplied 36 1.8m x 1.2m
green screens to Kings Landscapes as part of their extensive landscape plans
for a new housing estate in the
historic town of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire.
Bovis Homes, an established name in
British building is building homes on the Stanton Cross estate which is being
heralded as an exciting, brand-new community.
Once
complete it will provide more than 3,650 new homes, 1.5m sq ft of industrial,
leisure, retail and office space and create around 3,000 new jobs. It will also
bring new public parks, schools, a doctor’s surgery and much more.
Leading Landscape Contractor Kings Landscapes was
contracted to complete the extensive landscaping on behalf of Bovis Homes. This
included finding a way to screen off a concrete retaining wall which was
visible from the road. They wanted a solution that would provide instant
impact and turned to Green-tech for advice.
Green-tech
suggested and supplied their Ivy Green Screens which are perfect for
landscaping work or projects where an instant privacy green fence is required.
They are simply
inserted into the ground without the requirement for pot or planter and they
have specially selected growing media which contains controlled release
fertiliser and wetting agents to aid rapid establishment.
Ian Davis, Contracts
Manager from Kings Landscapes commented: “The installation went well. Fresh
topsoil was installed and trenches dug ready so the installation was quick and
easy.
"The location
was next to a balancing pond so the operatives had to wear harnesses, lanyards
and life jackets to ensure their safety during the installation. The screens
are very effective and we would definitely use them again.”
Green-tech’s green screens are cost effective, quick to install and are excellent
alternatives to fencing. They are available in a range of heights, up to 3
metres.
