About The Project
Kingston Landscape Group specialise in commercial landscape installations and grounds maintenance across London. They are well known and respected for their stunning roof top gardens within some of the London’s most admired developments. They were awarded the contract to manage the landscaping element of a prestigious development in West Hendon London by Barratt Homes. The company contacted Green-tech Specifier regarding advice and help sourcing appropriate substrate for a roof top terrace garden.
What we did
After consultation, Green-tree Roof Garden intensive substrate was recommended and supplied for the roof top planted areas and a significant containerised planting scheme.
The substrate is a blend of lightweight aggregate and award-winning Green-tree topsoil. It was ideal for this project due to its lightweight texture and good water-holding capacity which ensures healthy plant establishment in harsh rooftop environments.
Green-tree Green Roof Substrates have been successfully used in roof garden and containerised planting projects because of their lightweight nature, good levels of fertility and excellent aeration properties. They are known to offer a consistent, all-year round supply and it can be found in numerous high-profile projects across the country.
