🌿 Bringing Nature to Life! 🐸✨

We had an amazing time collaborating with the young eco-warriors of a local Stockport school —the "Nature Ninjas"—to create a thriving wildlife pond! 🌱🐞🐟

This hands-on project helped students of different ages explore the vital role ecosystems play in sustaining life, starting with a habitat designed for amphibians, insects, plants, and small mammals. With the school on half-term, our team stepped in to bring their vision to life, carefully constructing the pond and adding marginals, oxygenators, and beautiful lilies. 🌾💧

A huge thank you to the school for letting us be a part of this incredible initiative. We can’t wait to see the biodiversity flourish! 🌎💚

Photos from a job at the back end of August. Weather wasn't "typical Summer" so was wet enough to get the turf down.

Most households now have an additional car to park, and front gardens are being removed to make room for an extended driveway.

This can cause problems in urban areas where there is a reduction in green space, meaning areas are more susceptible to flooding through lack of drainage.

A standard lawn is not ideal for parking your car as the soft soil, when wet, can result in tyres getting stuck.

As a compromise, using gravel grids and infilling with screened soil and grass seed can create a stable lawn that provides better drainage than a concrete counterpart, as well as keeping the front garden a garden. Photo shows a project recently completed in Didsbury, with the lawn now established and being used to park the customers car.

Did anyone say cricket?

Ongoing project in Heaton Mersey, Stockport, where team have repaired the area around a newly installed artificial cricket crease.

Old soil had to be removed, with new screened topsoil, fertiliser and grass seed applied.

Helping to add kerb appeal to the fronts of a residential site in Stockport, by adding new shrubs to the front flower beds and ornamental bark to suppress w**d growth whilst enhancing the soil.
Typically wouldn't recommend more mature shrubs to be planted in the Summer, but the wet weather we have been having will help the roots to establish and hopefully in a few years time this will be an established green space for the residents
