We’re busy just now with the creation of the practice area for the Ryder Cup to be held at the Celtic Manor resort in 2010. The first picture below, which is taken from high above the Usk Valley (that’s the River Usk flowing through at the bottom) shows the area we have prepared ready for drilling. The second pictures shows the green created from turf which we lifted and relocated from Wentworth Golf Course last Sunday: just like that!

We have just completed a project on the second pitch at Pontyclun where rugby has been played since the early 1880’s. The work involved burying existing grass, importing soil, power-harrowing and adjusting the levels since the old pitch was very uneven. The work was rounded off with harley raking and seeding. Pontyclun pioneered Mini Rugby in Wales so at least a club with such a long history in the sport now has a level playing field for future generations.

We’re proud to announce that we have had our Environmental Management System accredited to ISO 14001 across the entire range of our activities. “We have a very different range of services to most businesses in our sector” says Gareth Rees, our Chief Executive. “Our conventional landscaping work is supplemented by work on creating state-of-the art sports surfaces such as the one at Parc y Scarlets, and environmental mitigation work on things like the pipeline through the Brecon Beacons: the largest such project ever undertaken. Next week, for example, we start work on a Natural England-funded project restoring an historic white horse on the Wiltshire Downs.” Gaining the accreditation for our environmental management systems puts a seal of approval on the way our entire team try to work with the environment in all of our work – much of which is involved anyway in creating, maintaining or protecting habitats for a huge variety of flora and fauna.
