Trees with a challenge :
Today we finished a project that required three different contractors to work as one team.
The trees have grown quietly over many years however, root invasion and falling debris over time resulted in a hazard for the court users.
The area outside fence was very steep and proved to provide a challenge that we wanted to accept. ( New U17-5 performed well ).
Once the tree trunk above ground level was managed, we worked along side Blake from Gibsons Stump Grinding to expose the stumps for grinding.
Access for stump grinder machine required a platform of 1500mm wide.
Our scope was to prepare area for stump grinder, then complete a minus 125mm profile drain below top of court concrete.
Cross fall and shape for stormwater to exit at end of court.
Material removed had to be double handled from court level to second bench approximately 4 meters above the court level.
This area was then profile shaped for grounds keeper tractor access.
The mulch from grindings used to spread over final profile.
