Discover how Geosynthetics Ltd engineered a lightweight, environmentally responsible solution for raising ground levels within a Root Protection Area (RPA) at The Hydons, Hydestile, Surrey. The project required a no-dig approach to protect mature trees while creating a level garden space for improved aesthetics and usability.
The project required a no-dig approach to protect mature trees while creating a level garden space for improved aesthetics and usability.
• Root Protection Area Constraints: The garden required raising levels by 400mm without damaging tree roots.
• Weight Reduction: Original specification using 4/20 clean angular stone was too heavy; a lighter solution was needed to reduce compaction.
• Environmental Sensitivity: The design had to maintain water and oxygen movement for healthy root growth while improving drainage and aeration.
