The innovative new service station known as Leeds Skelton Lake Services is located at Junction 45 of the M1 and includes a business centre , food and beverage outlets and beautifully landscaped areas .
Landscape Contractors Brambledown Landscapes Services were commissioned to undertake the soft landscaping of this huge
project which had to tie in with the natural environment of the nearby Skelton Lake and Gardens . They turned to their long-term supplier Green-tech for the landscaping materials and sundries .
Skelton Lakes Service Station in Leeds is unlike any other . It boasts a twisting living roof and many unique landscape features . Brambledown Landscapes Services were responsible for constructing natural landscaping throughout the 30-acre service station site .
For the trees planted into the hard-landscaped areas Green-tech supplied in the region of 100m ² of the urban tree planting system ArborRaft , along with 100 tonnes of ArborRaft soil and subsoil . Used together , the system combines geo-cellular ArborRaft units which lock together within the tree pit and nutrient-rich ArborRaft soil . Combined they provide essential load bearing support and reduce soil compaction within the tree pit to enable healthy root growth .
Skelton Lake Services is open and has been very well received . It is considered a high quality “ new concept ” in Motorway Service Area design where visitors can take a break from their journey and relax whilst enjoying a beautifullylandscaped environment .
Brambledown Yorkshire Manager , Sean Easton said : “ It was a pleasure to work with Green-tech on this innovative major motorway services near Leeds . Working throughout the Corona pandemic obviously threw up many challenges , but we worked closely with Green-tech throughout to ensure all product deliveries were made on time and as required . Their product choice is excellent and their service levels and customer care is always outstanding . I would happily recommend them .”
