Encore Estate Management

Picture perfect flower beds!

Posted: 01 May 2009

Encore's latest environmental initiative has seen the team recycling tree cuttings and turning
them into a handy solution to troublesome weeds!

Bark mulch has been laid onto flower beds at Parker's Mill, Mildenhall, in a bid to keep rogue weeds at bay. The chippings also help the beds to retain much needed water, as well as enhance their appearance.

Ever proactive, Encore contacted Eastern Tree Surgery to see if they had any spare mulch. As it happened, Eastern Tree Surgery had recently cut back some trees in need of attention close to Swaffham, so the chippings were on their way in no time at all!

Project manager Duncan Johnson said: "this is good recycling of a natural product. It leaves the beds looking tidy and represents an extremely cost effective way of better managing weed control.

"We are  delighted to be working with Eastern Tree Surgery on this initiative and will be looking to repeat the exercise across other sites shortly."
