“We use gt green-tree topsoil for our<br />
verge projects. It offers a local supply, as<br />
we obtain product from Blaydon, is value<br />
for money and given the fertility of the<br />
soil, when combined with grass seed<br />
gives a guaranteed good start to the<br />
grass verges.”<br />
Carillion (Alan Thompson)<br />
“We recently specified and used the green-tree<br />
topsoil on St Cuthberts Care Hospice. Given this<br />
projects prestigious status, it was imperative that we<br />
used a quality topsoil that would be the same quality<br />
throughout the project and provide a fertile base<br />
for plants to thrive. With gt green-tree we also had the<br />
advantage of knowing that it was an environmentallysound<br />
product.”<br />
