GREEN SCREENS
INSTALLED ON NEW
HOUSING ESTATE
PROVIDES INSTANT IMPACT
Green-tech has supplied 36 1.8m
x 1.2m green screens to Kings
Landscapes as part of their
extensive landscape plans for a
new housing estate in the historic
town of Wellingborough in
Northamptonshire. on behalf of Bovis Homes. This
included finding a way to screen off
a concrete retaining wall which was
visible from the road. They wanted
a solution that would provide
instant impact and turned to Green-
tech for advice.
Bovis Homes, an established name
in British building is building homes
on the Stanton Cross estate which is
being heralded as an exciting, brand-
new community. Once complete it
will provide more than 3,650 new
homes, 1.5m sq ft of industrial,
leisure, retail and office space and
create around 3,000 new jobs. It will
also bring new public parks, schools,
a doctor’s surgery and much more. Green-tech suggested and supplied
their Ivy Green Screens which are
perfect for landscaping work or
projects where an instant privacy
green fence is required. They are
simply inserted into the ground
without the requirement for pot
or planter and they have specially
selected growing media which
contains controlled release fertiliser
and wetting agents to aid rapid
establishment.

Ian Davis, Contracts Manager from
Kings Landscapes commented,
“The installation went well. Fresh
topsoil was installed and trenches
dug ready so the installation was
quick and easy. The location was
next to a balancing pond so the
operatives had to wear harnesses,
lanyards and life jackets to ensure
their safety during the installation.
The screens are very effective and
we would definitely use them again.”
Green-tech’s green screens are cost
effective, quick to install and are
excellent alternatives to fencing.
They are available in a range of
heights, up to 3 metres.
