Greenfields Garden Services News

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and we are extremely busy at Greenfields.  With such a range of services offered, from tree works to play areas and fencing/landscaping we seem to be very much in demand this spring.  Long may it continue and dont forget to ring us if you require advice or a quotation.

Starting on Monday 22 February 2010 we are installing a new play area at Coney Hill Clock Tower for Gloucester City Council.  The equipment is mainly Kompan with one record unit as well as ancillary bike racks, dog bins and seating.

Safety surface to be grass mats and hopeful completion within 10 days.

Snow, rain and frost has slowed down progress at Highnam Gloucester.  The guys are up against the weather but as the client stated in a recent email they are made of tough stuff and are making headway.  The scheme has a value of circa £45,000 and consists predominantly of Kompan play equipment with loose rubber safety surfacing.  There is also an element of natural play utilising boulders, logs and a large soil mound with crawl runner.

We have just completed a custom made timber fort to provide fun and interactive play to the children who use the Hop, Skip and Jump centre near Cheltenham.

The unit features look out slits, climb wall, slide and firemans pole and is intended for multi age usage.

In addition to the fort our team has built a 3m x 3m raised deck off the top bank with overhead camouflage net to stimulate a bird hide.

Schools are increasingly looking to challenge children with natural play boulders to supplement the usual generic play equipment. The boulder (pictured) weighs approx 4 tons and is 1200mm high. It has an easy route up to the top and a more challenging face.

The grass provides ample safety surfacing and keeps the whole zone looking as natural as possible allowing the grass to in time grow through them.
