The ground is still very dry from last years drought. We expect a lot of trees and plants to suffer so don't forget to water especially recently planted things.

The planting at Arena Flowers Head Office in Droitwich is looking good. We designed the outside of the business with a colourful wildflower planting scheme.

Bad practice. Using a digger on areas of the garden that aren't going to be paved causes big problems later on due to the weight of the machine compacting the soil.

April Fools, sadly I've been seeing some very shoddy hard landscaping recently that is beyond a joke. Block paving on building sand, reducing garden levels so neighbours fencing collapses and garden floods etc etc.
There seems to be no formal qualifications demanded for the industry and customers are just taking contractors on face value and cheapest quote.

We just planted a border on a communal garden and have gone for some red and yellow Spring colours.
The shrubs planted were Leucothoe fontanesiana and Hypericum 'Hidecote', Rhododendron and a Forcythia .

We planted two trees today which will give plenty of Spring colour. Prunus 'Kanzan' and Magnolia 'Susan'. Looking forward to seeing them develop.

Removing a dead Cherry tree. It has some big roots 😂😂 . Unfortunately they don't have a hugely long life span but they are very colourful in spring.
Its going to be replaced with something similar.
