Warfield Park QTRA tree Safety Survey Completed

We have just completed a safety survey of 2,440 trees throughout the Warfield Park settlement close to Ascot and Bracknell. We were asked to survey the trees by the park management to assess their condition and to proscribe recommended treeworks and long term management as well as obtaining their root protection areas. We were assisted by the many park residents and the management staff in this survey work. The survey schedules and plans will provide the basis for a long term management plan and for the development of new low impact building projects within the park area that lies over several hectares of land. We have shown some images below of the park and some typical trees:

Completion of New Athletics Centre and Tree Planting at St Marys School, Ascot

We are pleased to have been involved in the design and implementation of the recently completed athletics centre and all weather tennis courts at St Marys independent catholic girls school in Ascot, Berkshire. They were officially opened by Denise Lewis the famous track athlete.  We completed the initial arboricultural survey and landscape analysis in 2011. We then designed the tree and hedgerow planting around the site. The site is sensitive as it is close to residential areas and attracted several comments during the planning application stage. The planting employs large semi mature trees to provide instant visual screening form the floodlights and other structures as well as providing an attractive setting for the sports activities. Below are a selection of images from the completed site.
