This large-scale landscaping project involved the transformation of a 72-acre former coal mining site with the construction of a 1.3 million sq ft distribution centre. Delivered across two phases, the works included extensive site clearance, excavating and preparing tree pits, importing topsoil, hydroseeding embankments and establishing ornamental shrub beds. Over 100 mature trees, 3,200 hedgerow whips, 6,300 native and ornamental plants, and 3,600 bulbs were installed, alongside ecological enhancements such as bird, bat and owl boxes. The scheme also incorporated seating areas, picnic benches, bins and hard-wearing Roslin benches, with a 36-month maintenance programme ensuring long-term establishment.
