4th Annual Staff Conference
Planting in Knowsley
At A.P. Broome Landscapes, we have always prided ourselves upon being committed to the welfare of the environment and this is often reflected in the work we carry out. Recently we embarked upon an agreement with Knowsley City Council which will see 180 trees planted over the coming months. As a result of this, an influx of future greenery will rejuvenate the ecological landscape of the Knowsley area, with each and every tree planted also being staked, guarded and fitted with state of the art irrigation systems to ensure their longevity. This job, like many others, goes to emphasise the approach that our company takes towards environmental renovation and further conveys that A.P Broome Landscapes will make a conscious effort wherever possible to carry out regenerative environmental work.

The team, headed by our specialists Andy O’Kane and Phil Evans, worked through the night on Tuesday and Wednesday to eradicate any hazardous conditions with the potential to cause issues for the general public. Our highly trained operatives put themselves in the line of 80/90mph winds in order to ensure the safety of houses, parks and motorists. One large tree had been uprooted and was encroaching directly upon an inhabited residence, posing an obvious public safety risk. The quick, efficient reaction from our tree team allowed this tree to be removed safely and therefore eliminated the risk of property damage or personal injury to those inside. The team also cleared several large and medium sized trees from roads and pathways, allowing the general…
