Planting 50 new pear trees has transformed this well known London street. The site required the creation of over sized tree pits and the installation of root barrier.
As part of a large project to revitalise The Cut in Waterloo, 48 semi mature trees were planted through the road base. Species include Liquidambar, Ginkgo and Pear with stock sizes as large as 60cm dbh. The tree pits have high a specification design with zinc frames, aggregate resin finish, underground anchoring and irrigation systems.
Another regeneration scheme involved the planting of semi mature Gleditsia tricanthus 'Sunburst', planted on the second busiest bus route in Europe. A key ingredient in improving the pedestrian experience was the planting of 45 new street trees.
25 semi mature Acer 'Freemanii' were planted in Camden town. This project required remedial works at the site with the removal of 50 Tonnes of contaminated soil and a 2 year maintenance programme.
Removing trees and buying replacements particularly for larger specimens can be costly. We have recently transplanted a number of semi mature trees in Westminster including, 3 Ginkgo in Rochester Row and a Liquidambar outside the American embassy. All of the trees, between 50-60cm dbh, have taken well and below we can see one of the Ginkgo 6 months after planting, this was one of 3 trees moved approximately 2 miles across central London.
In Barnet we were called in to enable the planting of trees into existing tree pits from which 8 mature Aesculus had been removed. Some of the issues at this sensitive site were an undertaking to replant into the old tree pits and the large size of the replacement stock. The size of the rootball on the new trees required a grinding depth of 700mm which the contractor was unable to achieve with a conventional grinder.
With a capacity to grind to a depth of a meter this was well within the capabilities of our machine and all of the trees were subsequently planted as per local authority requirements.
