This weeks project was quite a challenge. To start with we had limited access into the site so we negotiated with the neighbours and removed fencing via a their property. Once into our clients rear garden we had to remove a dense conifer hedge with no access as the trees had outgrown their position so we hired aluminium ladder boards to span the pool providing a bouncy but safe work platform. Two days to dismantle and remove the trees from site. Then we were left with a narrow plant bed containing substantial tree stumps, fortunately we have two stump grinders which enabled us to remove the stumps to a depth of half a metre. Once the stumps were removed we planted pleached hornbeam trees double staked and linked frames to secure them into position, the tree stakes can be removed after two growing seasons. The new trees will form a dense screen without obstructing the poolside walkway. This is phase one of a complete swimming pool refurbishment programme. We were lucky with the weather, bit too hot at times but we got the job completed on time and on budget. The shout outs... thanks to Stuart, Steve, Reggie, Tom (K), Richie, Mike, Tom (F) for bringing this job to a successful conclusion and not forgetting our office manager, Allison, who did a fab job arranging deliveries and sourcing hired equipment. What a fantastic team - true professionals. #Septembersun #Swimmingpool #Happyclients #Happyneighbours #Pleached #Hornbeam #Hedge #Conifers #Stump #Grinding #Narrowaccess #Challenging #Project #ProfessionalArbs #Fantastic #Team www.acornarb.co.uk (at Moulsham and Central, Chelmsford) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFP9ezABvEg/?igshid=19dfajtbnk0yh
