COLLEGE GREEN, BRISTOL

College Green in Bristol City Centre was damaged by protestors camping on it during winter 2011/12. Together with our turf supplier we offered to returf it for a minimal sum. It cost us over £3,500 as a company but it was a great project to get involved with. All of the Elmtree team are based in Bristol and were proud to be part of ‘making College Green again’

BRISTOL HARBOURSIDE

CANNINGTON COURT, BRIDGWATER

The Grade I listed buildings at Cannington Court were restored over three years by Kier Construction.

They are adjacent to the historical Walled Garden of Cannington, so it was important to maintain the consistently high standard of landscaping.

Access was very tight, so logistics were extremely challenging. Most of the materials had to be delivered in bulk to a nearby farm, then delivered on small vehicles, before being craned in to the working area.

We carried out topsoilng, turfing, as well as planting, which included trained fruit trees, Laburnum and Yew hedging.

ELMTREE TRANSFORM COMMUNITY GARDEN

Elmtree are pleased to today be working with Skanska by donating manpower and materials at Five Ways Bungalow, a community resource centre in Lawrence Weston, Bristol. We will transform their overgrown garden by creating raised beds and paths. This will leave a lasting legacy for the Lawrence Weston community who will be able to grow their own vegetables. There are 4 Elmtree people on site and 12 Skanska staff to assist. Will update with complete photos soon.
