LANDSCAPE SERVICES LUC WINS LANDSCAPE INSTITUTE AWARD FOR CASSIOBURY PARK RESTORATION GIVE YOUR GARDEN THE EDGE ON SUSTAINABILITY LUC won a 2018 Landscape Institute Award in the Heritage & Conservation category for the regeneration of Cassiobury Park in Watford. become is taking the sustainability message to the great outdoors by launching a garden edging that is made from 100% recycled household plastic. LUC was lead consultant for the Heritage Lottery Funded scheme to rejuvenate this popular open space rich in history. Eco Edge is stylish, strong and as easy to work with as wood, making it an ideal edging for gardens and landscaped public space. Unlike wood, however, it is rot-proof, needs no varnishing, staining or preservative - making it cost-effective, flexible and long lasting. Working for Watford Borough Council, we restored surviving historic features such as the monumental Lime Avenue, carriage drives and estate watermill ruins; recreated iconic features of the picturesque parkland such as the tea pavilion and gardens, reinstated the Bandstand and refurbished the popular water play area, allied to a new park hub building. www.landuse.co.uk 0117 929 1997 Straight Eco Edge is available in straight pieces for linear borders. Rolled Eco Edge comes on a roll for bends and slopes. Both are available in dark grey and brown in 10, 18 and 25 metre lengths, and all are 14cm deep and 0.7cm wide. www.become.eco Tel: 0333 202 6800 Superior quality designer meadows from seed and PM Turf based on 20 years of research and development Request your catalogue or book your CPD now: 01142 677 635 PictorialMeadows.co.uk “Perfectly Pictorial ” 66 Landscape & Urban Design Issue 36 2019 Training and CPDs Meadow seed and PM turf supply Design and consultation Meadow installation
