Projects carried out in 2009.
As part of a street refurbishment scheme we created 6 tree pits 1.4m² in the old carriageway, the site was then planted with Prunus laur. Magnolifolia and finished with tree grilles and concrete slab paving around the pit edge.
A unique opportunity in the public highway to densely plant a wide stretch of pavement with Birch trees. The excavation and planting of the 45m² site was completed in 7 days, approximately 40 Tonne of materials were removed and reinstated with TS6 tree soil, 23 trees and an enclosed by a fence until the trees establish.
The improvements to the junction of Elgin Ave and the Harrow Rd required the removal of mature and semi-mature trees prior to replanting the site with 10 semi-mature Robinia pseudo acacia. The trees which are secured with an underground anchoring system provide an attractive backdrop for the new Maida Hill market.
This project involved the creation of 5 tree pits 1.8m² in the carriageway, planted with Robinia pseudo Monophylla. The pit surface was finished with protective steel rings and a porous resin bound granite. The success of the scheme has resulted in plans to expand the scheme this Autumn.
As part of the Local Authorities tree planting programmes Street Tree Care have undertaken a number of specific projects in this area of Westminster.
In the spring of 2009 we carried out a survey of Hallam St W1 and subsequently created 40 oversized tree pits. We then supplied, planted and provided maintenance of the tree stock. The project was completed within a 2 week deadline.
Similar schemes in this area have included 47 trees planted on Harley Street in 2008 and 33 on Gloucester Place in 2006.
As part of the Local Authorities tree planting programmes Street Tree Care have undertaken a number of specific projects in this area of Westminster. Over 100 trees were felled and ground in the highways of Hammersmith & Fulham and the City of Westminster to be made possible for a new planting. This was carried out using Bandit chippers and auger driven grinding.
