Following our arrival to the 3600m2 site the existing vegetation was removed and the arisings stockpiled. The area was cultivated using a Blecavator. The levels were set and the site accurately laser graded. Following a second cultivation a Blec Stone Rake was used to remove any debris. 80T of sand was spread using our custom built sand spreaders and the sand lightly ameliorated into the cultivated surface. Finally, a pre seed fertiliser was applied and the surface sown with Limagrain MM60 grass seed.
In November 2013 we returned to complete a second project at the estate, an indoor show jumping area. The imported material was roughly spread using a JCB Loadall. A laser controlled Blec Rotor Rake was then used to accurately level the area. Through our experience working with material of this nature the Rotor Rake is a more suitable choice than the Laser Grader.
