(Tree) Surgery

On yet another bitterly cold 'spring' morning work continues in the ongoing rejuvenation of the outdoor spaces at Chatsworth Way.

Our trusted tree surgeons, AN Rowland Ltd are very quick, professional and tidy. Today, battling the inevitable snow showers, they removed three trees at the back of the property and 'pollarded' the horse chestnut tree you can see in the photograph.

The three removed trees are part of a major redevelopment of the back garden which, though lovely in summer, is largely unused and unusable in winter, partly because of drainage problems.

Former trees

2 years ago we were able to sell an unused and overgrown patch of land at the bottom of the garden - beyond the fence you can see in the next photograph. 

The money is being invested in making the garden more attractive and usable all year round. There will be raised beds to grow fruit and vegetables, where we will draw on the skills and experience of Rathbone's thriving Gardening Group. Have you visited their blog yet?
