Enabling you to Build Green Cities

With everyday life very much behind closed doors with the instruction of homebound living, construction on building sites is currently still operating albeit there is an underlying concern for how long?

The safety for all is paramount and no doubt precautions are being taken however the need for the completion of projects is down to the client, at what stage do they drop tools without further delay and financial impact to all?

GreenBlue is assuring all that we are operating as normal and standing by our mission:- To enable sustainable cities through green and infrastructure.

With spring now finally upon us, we have blue skies and beautiful trees in full blossom to admire – many are seeking solace from these beauties in our gardens and paved streets – taking in the abundance of benefits that healthy mature trees bring to our urban environment.

Building green cities involve a huge change for the trees in terms of the habitat that they will have to adapt to, compared to what they would normally enjoy in rural near perfect conditions including sheltered microclimate, rich fertile soil with an abundance of nutrients and humus, uncompacted leaf mould, rich rooting volume with plenty of moisture and pore space.

Trees are forestry plants. As soon as we forget this simple fact, we are likely to make mistakes when planting them in town and city environments.

With these factors in mind, we can begin the process of successfully integrating trees in built-up areas. By protecting them above and below ground, managing and providing for delicate root systems, we can as far as possible recreate optimum conditions for our trees to establish.

Continued Support

Most designers and specifiers are used to working digitally from a multitude of locations with access to company laptops and remote access to project information enables desktop technology.

At GreenBlue we are no different our team continue to take calls, orders and communicate via web-based systems.  Although face-to-face meetings are on hold for some time we are continuing with webinar CPD’s across all sectors and proving very popular – Discover more here. 

We continue to support Specifiers, Engineers and Planning Departments with an array of CAD Drawings and online resources as well as our recently ArborSystem Configurator – by which you can design your own Tree Pit based on scenario and Tree Species.

ArborSystem® is the only tree pit package to bring together the key elements of successful tree pit design and simplifies the planning and installation process. Landscape professionals can combine SUDS/LID, root management, structural soil components, aeration, irrigation and chose an appropriate above ground surface grille and vertical guard in one single package.

By using best practice methods allows UK onsite manufacturing using 100% recycled materials – this enables GreenBlue to manufacture 24/7 6 days a week – offering same day distribution from our onsite stock supply.

GreenBlue are here to support your needsworking as normal – offering technical assistance from design to installation – enabling green infrastructure for all during these difficult times. Stay safe everyone.

Trottoirs soulevés, chaussées fissurées, surfaces piétonnes inégales : lorsque ces problèmes apparaissent autour d'arbres matures, les racines sont généralement pointées du doigt.

Les populations d'arbres urbains dans les villes du monde entier subissent de fortes pressions. Malgré les avantages manifestes qu'offrent les arbres, notamment le rafraîchissement des rues,

Lorsque l'expression « strangulation racinaire » est mentionnée lors d'une réunion de devis ou d'une discussion de planification, elle a tendance à figer net la conversation.

L'un des défis les plus importants auxquels l'industrie du verdissement urbain fait face aujourd'hui réside dans notre capacité à répondre efficacement à l'accélération du climat

Planter un arbre est souvent perçu comme un acte d'optimisme, un geste tourné vers un avenir plus vert et prometteur. Toutefois,

Concevoir des aménagements urbains qui soutiennent à la fois la saine croissance des arbres et les exigences structurelles des chaussées, des sentiers et des zones carrossables

En milieu urbain, le sol réunit rarement les conditions nécessaires à la croissance et à l'épanouissement des arbres. L'espace racinaire restreint, la compaction et les conflits d'usage

Nos systèmes de drainage urbain existants sont sollicités bien au-delà de leur capacité initiale de conception. La densification du développement,

Chaque hiver, les villes prennent un air plus festif. Les rues s'illuminent, les marchés s'installent et, sur de nombreuses places publiques,

Les milieux urbains sont des espaces complexes et très sollicités où chaque centimètre carré de terrain remplit une fonction. Pourtant, même dans les zones à forte densité bâtie,
