Living Green Walls

This week we undertook the bi annual maintenance of five living green walls at one of our clients sites.

With space often being limited in built up environments, the installation of green walls on existing buildings has become a popular and innovative solution to urban greening whilst providing natural insulation to the building.

Plants have numerous benefits to the urban environment. They improve air quality and reduce levels of harmful air pollutants and help capture, store and recycle rain water.

An afternoon of celebrations!

On a gloriously sunny Friday afternoon, we raised a glass to celebrate the successful move to our new premises and to 35 years of grounds maintenance. It was a pleasure to bring the whole team together to enjoy such a special occasion.

Out with the old and in with the new

We’ve had a busy couple of months updating and replacing two key pieces of machinery here at Mark Walker (Grounds Maintenance) Ltd. Our trusty tractor was the first to go. The brand new replacement will continue with sports field renovations/maintenance and boundary hedge maintenance works which is in great demand during the summer months. It will also be working hard in the winter months with gritting/snow ploughing and hedge reduction works.

Today we welcomed the arrival of our shiny new Telehandler. This fantastic little machine is tasked with many jobs in and around our yard. It’s a priority to keep our fleet of vehicles and machines current and in excellent working order to meet the demands of our busy schedules.

    Hedgehogs at Hightown

    Another sunny day and another Residents Engagement event, this time held at Hightown’s Elmshall Place. Our Grass Hedgehogs went down a treat with the younger residents and once they had enjoyed our tasty cakes, the children turned their hands to a spot of gardening. One enthusiastic child exclaimed “this is the first time I’ve ever had a go at planting. It’s great fun!”
