AERATION , IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE
The Royal Parks ’ flagship project ‘ Greenwich Park Revealed ’ had already begun to restore the 590-year-old park to protect and share its heritage . They aim to go above and beyond in tree care and management and it was a natural progression to bring in the specialist services of Terrain Aeration ’ s Tree Division . The company has been treating tree areas in Royal Parks for many years and , in the case of Greenwich this year , applied their technology across 15,000 square metres . Where there is heavy compaction it is essential to break up the soil at a depth greater than the tree roots , other than the main tap roots which go straight down , to allow excess water to drain away and help stop anaerobic conditions and rotting of the root system .
“ In 2019 , the park had over five million visitors and with its view and attractions – there ’ s even a Saxon burial mound – it is no wonder when the pandemic struck there was a massive increase in visitors in the first year of lockdown .”
