Removing unwanted materials off site for recycling

Site preparation

Emerald Gardening will clear the site, removing all items which are not being re-used (broken slabs, old plants, turf etc.), and disposing of them off site. We then check soil Ph levels, natural drainage etc and address any of these issues. Then we re-distribute top soil, bringing in new top soil where required, to set the new levels.^Index

Construction and planting

Once the site has been prepared, new walls, steps, patios and paths are constructed first. Then we mark out for the new lawns, borders, shrubberies including trees. Planting then begins and finally turf is laid, or grass seed is sown. Planting is normally done in late autumn, winter and early spring.^Index
