Creating grassland habitat and woodland for biodiversity plan
Following a referral from a member of the business’s management team, we successfully secured the landscaping contract for the 230-acre site at Thanet Earth.
Thanet Earth, based in East Kent, is “Britian’s leading glasshouse complex” producing large quantities of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.
The contract involved the establishment of approximately 75 hectares of grass, providing habitat for many indigenous species that have been in decline and contributing to the biodiversity action plan for chalk grass land.
Owing to the tight time scales and the dry nature of the site, we had three weeks to plant and mulch 15,000 trees and shrubs. We met the deadline and the clients was delighted with the extremely low level of losses experienced, despite the dry summer.
