Our Favourite Jobs Of 2019
By admin | uncategorized
As a turf supplier, our team has worked in many memorable locations. We’ve set the stage for Hollywood film sets, revamped the lawns of famous country estates and supplied a whos-who of Oxfordshire institutions including Oxford University and the Oxford Trust.
2019 will go down as one of our busiest years on record. After the heatwave and droughts that marked 2018, demand in turf surged as gardeners and homeowners contacted us to restore the counties withering lawns. Demand was such many turf farms as a result.
As we enter a new turf season, this post is a brief recap of 3 contracts that stood out to our landscaping team in 2019.
Our first job of note was for clients in a new build in Summertown, Oxford. Our clients had unique tastes and wanted a traditional lawn with a unique twist.
Our clients requested an ornamental lawn that was wild around the edges. Beyond the aesthetics, Wildflower Turf has a series of ecological virtues.
This grade promotes biodiversity by introducing new wildlife, bees and insects into your garden. Our team were proud of the result.
The prestigious venue, known as the ‘Roger Bannister Running Track’, needed us to supply, prepare and lay 200m2. Famed for Bannister’s 4 minute mile, Iffley hosts domestic athletics events and is home to Oxford’s rowing team.
The venue initially considered seeding the area but ultimately opted for turf. Our role here was to prepare the ground beside the track and long jump.
Along the way we applied 6 tonnes of topsoil, a vibrating roller before laying 200m2 of our finest turf.
