    Hi Rob,

     

    Ian Leach tells me I may be able to get some bits of hardwood for practicing from you, is that info upto date?

    regards

  2. All, I wondered if someone could throw some light on the following conundrum with regard to street tree planting. A number of trees need to be planted within a pavement outside a city new build. The specified position means that there are a number of services in conflict with the area proposed. My question(s) are: • If there is depth and width enough to plant on top of some services and hence the services will run under the tree – is this acceptable to a LA and the service providers for future maintenance? • Assuming the above is unacceptable – what are the alternatives other than re-routing said services? o Do LA’s welcome large ‘designer’ planting containers (self irrigating) that can accommodate trees to 15m? and which are able to be moved (by crane) should the services need to be maintained in the future. o Are ‘built-up’ planting pits commonly used? i.e. open bottomed contained structures able to provide enough depth to plant semi-mature trees allowing natural root growth below the pavement but outside the contained unit? Hoping you can throw some ideas my way. Thanks Rob
