Malahide Rugby Club
It is sometimes hard to tackle large areas of ground, especially when people use these areas every day. Malahide rugby club(http://malahiderfc.ie/)wants to revitalise the grounds and the planting areas in keeping with the building and the people which visit the club. Also in use as a creche and function room facility, they were unsure where to start so they contacted us and we got involved
Before
Since the club is a vital facility in our local community we have began supporting them by drawing up a landscape plan and began carrying out work using a team of landscapers.
We have sponsored the work to date and are planning to continue the work to keep club landscape in order.
We started by spraying all the hard surfaces to keep the weeds down in the paths this is crutial at this time of year as weeds can get out of control in a matter of weeks,
Next was the large bed which spans the length of the front of the impressive building,The plants in the bed had either become unmanageable or had died,We relocated plants that were still usable and cleared the bed and prepared it for planting.
The existing Taxus bacatta (Yew) hedging was cut back down to shape which will provide evergreen structure to the bed when planting is completed.
Later in the project we plan to have a number of timber planters to provide colour and interest on the walkway to the entrance.
After
The plants will be replaced and we are hoping that local council, businesses and community groups that use the facility will sponsor some of the plants,We will then step in again and place the plants out in the correct manner and provide planting in the bed.
This is a large project which we are delighted to get involved and help our community with,as with all projects planning is vital.Take the time to plan in your garden and stick to the plan of works.It will make the project more manageable...Rome was'nt built in a day.
