Tree root protection beneath new paths at Barnard Park

LOCATION:
ISLINGTON, LONDON

CLIENT:
ISLINGTON COUNCIL

CONTRACTOR:
BLAKEDOWN LANDSCAPES

PRODUCTS USED:
CORE TRP; CORE PRO EDGE

PROJECT OVERVIEW

New paths are part of Blakedown Landscapes’ improvements to Barnard Park for Islington Council. The routes pass close to established trees, where the supporting build-up needed to limit pressure on the rooting ground.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

Create new routes close to existing trees, protect their rooting environment and provide a stable foundation for the park’s paths.

THE SOLUTION

CORE supplied 760m² of CORE TRP. The expanded cells follow the paths and junctions and hold the stone-filled foundation in place. Once filled, the cellular layer helps spread surface loads across a wider area.

A further 110 linear metres of 100mm CORE PRO EDGE supported the landscape works. The project photographs show the route before surfacing and the cellular layer beneath the finished paths.

Project images: supplied CORE case-study collection.
