Ridyards have been awarded the contract to maintain the recently opened Porsche Dealership, on the outskirts of Norwich, just off the A47.
The site was planted about two years ago, and although the neighbouring BMW Dealership was running, which we also maintain, the Porsche site was allowed to lie dormant. Of course although the site was dormant, plants, and particularly weeds are no respecters of these periods. When we took over the some of the weeds were over 2m in height! Our first task was to bring the site under control; remove the worst of the weeds, reduce the heights of some of the planted shrubs to allow them to bush out, and then to establish boundaries for the chipped bark, import the bark, and generally make the site attractive.
We also introduced some fresh planting. One area was in the car park, where it was decided to introduce a short Box hedge around two island beds. This more clearly defines two of the car parking areas, and once established will enhance the entire site.
The site has been transformed, and is now worthy of such a prestigious marque.
