White Horse Contractors gear up for a busy 2012

2012 has started as a busy year for Oxfordshire based White Horse Contractors, with some projects being carried over from the previous year, but also a pleasing number of new contracts having been won for season ahead.

 

Currently, the company is operating on five school sites in South London, constructing natural and artificial sports facilities as well as hard and soft landscaping around the newly constructed buildings so that they are presented in immaculate condition for handover to the client.

In addition to these projects, the company is also busy with sports projects in Birmingham, Cheltenham and Swindon as well as West and North London.

White Horse Contractors (Northern) continues to go from strength to strength with a very strong order book of sports construction projects across the northern counties. Recently, the company handed over a substantial new sports pitch development in Salford, Manchester which incorporated a high specification reinforced natural grass stadium pitch as well as a full size fenced and floodlit 3G artificial training pitch.

White Horse Contractor’s international experience, together with their reputation for constructing difficult projects to the highest of standards, were also instrumental in their recent appointment for a private client on the Cote D’Azur in Southern France where existing lawns are being removed and reconstructed, incorporating new drainage schemes and the importing of over 5000m³ of high specification sports grade gravels and rootzones.

Equipped for the 21st century, the company owns, maintains and operates a modern fleet of plant and equipment, undertaking a diversity of operations including design and construction of natural and artificial sports turf facilities, water management projects and specialist pipeline drainage installations.

"Yes had that scenario where you can't reach a fiddly bit no matter what ladder and have to balance on the apex of a shed roof or do best job painstakingly with a long reach pole pruner . "

"I'm very wary of these tripod ladders, I took a life changing fall from the top of a 12ft tripod. Now I only use them myself with great care. The issue is that they are very unstable at the top if you lean to either side, and they go with no…"

"Done a couple of second cuts already this last week would you believe. It's almost as if the grass has a memory of last year's drought and is making up for it now plenty of moisture available"

"the tripods are good but in some scenarios the wide base and the fact the 3rd leg has to be placed some distance away from the step part for stability makes this large foot print impractical eg when cutting hedge behind a shed or greenhouse with…"

"Never tried these but always thought they look a bit of a pain to cart about. Looking at the picture, seems you're quite away from the hedge so you have to reach out more?   I just use ordinary aluminium extension ladders that you can easily adjust…"

"Tripods are better than any other ladder that's a fact. You can cut hedges that are lower than the ladder but it is more awkward, I have a 6ft amd a 12 foot been using both for the last 15yrs and haven't come stuck yet. Believe me once you've had…"

Does moss always = full renovation

Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top…
