SCOTHORT

Welcome to...

SCOTHORT ScotHort is finally here. After many months of planning, organising and making countless phone calls, the brand new event dedicated to the Scottish horticulture industry will open its doors to visitors on Wednesday 16 September at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh. This event was conceived of and developed by Eljays44 which, after extensive research, found that the Scottish market was in need of an industry trade show. The owners of Pro Landscaper and FutureScape put the wheels in motion to develop and launch ScotHort, a multi-sector event bringing landscaping, arboriculture, and groundscare together at one venue with the vision of aiding cross sector business development.

This exciting event promises to be a great opportunity to bring the industries together in a one-day show filled with machinery demonstrations, seminars, training and the

chance to meet some of the country’s leading suppliers and find out about their products and services.

Within this supplement you will find interesting news stories from the region along with details of the suppliers exhibiting at the event. We also include information on the seminars and leading guest speakers who will be taking to the stage throughout the day.

The Eljays44 team will be on hand during the event both around the venue and on our stand, please come and visit us and collect your complimentary copy of our industry publications. We very much look forward to seeing you on the day.

SCOTLAND HORT NEWS RBGE launch Modern Apprenticeship in Amenity Horticulture

Barenbrug grass seed used in Edinburgh Zoo panda enclosure

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is launching a Modern Apprenticeship scheme in horticulture this summer which aims to teach the highest standards of professional practice to its trainees by offering a structured training programme integrated in all its garden areas. The scheme will provide participants with the opportunity to gain practical experience and knowledge, based on the horticultural operations at RBGE. During the two years, apprentices will gain work experience in each of the horticultural sections at Edinburgh: arboriculture, alpine, display and research,

Grass expert Barenbrug UK has supplied its BAR 50 SOS grass seed mix for the UK’s only giant panda enclosure at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo. In the winter of 2011, when the pandas arrived in the UK, the custom-built enclosure needed a little help to maintain grass cover. Simon Jones, Sustainability Manager at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo, explains more: “On a horticultural front, the two outdoor giant panda enclosures have lots of shade and clay substrate, which makes for poor plant drainage. Add the weight of two 100kg plus pandas padding around, and the ground becomes very compacted. Grass cover

becomes more of a challenge.”

Simon turned to Dr David Greenshields, Barenbrug Research and Development Manager, for advice. Dr Greenshields commented: “We recommended BAR 50 SOS because of its ability to renovate permanent turf areas quickly and in very cold temperatures. It’s perfect for leisure and facilities professionals, who need a high performance mix that solves specific challenges. Critical for people, like Simon, who have a limited establishment window.”

BAR 50 SOS is the successful selection of thousands of progeny from Barenbrug’s extensive breeding programme – and offers unprecedented,

proven results. It germinates down to 3.5°C and grows faster than any other seed at low temperatures.

Simon added: “We sowed the entire enclosure and planted plenty of whip alder trees to soak up residual moisture.

BAR 50 SOS roots deep and can handle shady conditions, so it’s as hardwearing as it is quick to establish. The enclosure is less boggy now and looks much better.”

Horse chestnut parasite could soon spread to Scotland glasshouses, herbaceous, turf and nursery. As part of this work experience, on the job training and mentoring will be delivered

by RBGE staff, with a focus on practical skills to carry out real tasks. Each apprentice will also attend Oatridge College on a day release basis, where they will study towards an SVQ Level 2 in Amenity Horticulture.

Parasitic moths, which infect and destroy the leaves of horse chestnut trees, are moving north and could soon invade Scotland.

The horse chestnut leaf-mining moth, which originates in the Balkans, was first recorded in London in 2002 and has spread throughout England and Wales.

Dr Darren Evans, an expert

in conservation biology at the University of Hull and a co-founder of Conker Tree Science, said “it’s only a matter of time” before the species expands further north into Scotland.

The invader feasts on the leaves of the conker-producing trees, turning them brown and causing them to drop in the late

summer. There is little evidence that the moths can kill horse chestnut trees, but Evans said there were fears they could weaken the tree’s immune system and make them more susceptible to disease.

Anna Platoni, entomologist at the Royal Horticultural Society, said little could be done to combat

Council chiefs apologise after Cults tree blunder Council chiefs have apologised “unreservedly” to the residents of a smart Aberdeen suburb after workers felled more than 30 historic trees on private land.

A letter has been sent to homes in Cults Gardens, admitting the blunder, and offering to plant new saplings in place of the ones that were chopped down.

Six months after the event, Aberdeen City Council arboricultural officer Richard Nicholson has written to the

neighbours acknowledging the mistake and offering to replant the trees. The letter reads: “The results of (our) investigations have revealed that the land is owned by numbers one to seven Cults Gardens. For the lack of consultation on the tree removals, I apologise unreservedly. Given my service is wholly in the wrong for cutting down the trees, I would like to offer to replant tree for tree, all trees felled. It would be my intention to do this immediately if residents are in favour and I would recommend replanting with quick growing cypresses.”

An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: “The letter to residents of Cults Gardens explains why the council felled the trees in error and apologises for the removal of the trees unreservedly.

“The council also confirms that they will continue to consult with residents as to what happens next including the possibility of the council replacing the trees with quick growing cypresses.”

www.pressandjournal.co.uk

Let us fell trees, councillors asked Preservation orders may be revoked next week which protect a group of 45ft-high pine trees within an Elgin housing estate.

Moray Council officers claim that the mature pines in the Reiket Lane area of town are not suitable for the location and are in a poor condition. They argue the trees pose a risk to both people and property – and that any potential management plan would not work. Permission is now being sought to cut down the trees by Waulkmill Grove and behind Barlink Road and Reynolds Crescent and to relandscape the area. A report from a meeting of Moray Council’s planning and regulatory services committee states: “It is considered necessary to revoke the tree preservation orders.

“While it is regrettable that mature trees will be lost, expert advice concludes that measures have to be taken in order to

enhance this area for the longterm safety of the residents and provide an improved and attractive area of open space more appropriate for this setting.”

The report adds that the area has some long-standing issues related to loss of daylight and falling branches.

Final phase of Scottish Scenic Routes design contest launched the moths. She said: “The moth caterpillars overwinter in the leaves under the tree. You can rake up, collect and burn fallen leaves in the autumn and that will reduce the population. But unless you’ve got a very isolated tree, then the next year the likelihood is it will just fly back in from somewhere else.”

www.theguardian.com

An architectural design competition is inviting young architects to design one of three new installations to be built as part of the widely acclaimed Scottish Scenic Routes initiative.

The competitions focus on three different locations, one just north of Fort William and a short distance from the A82 on the ‘Road to the Isles’ (A830) on land owned by

Scottish Canals, whilst the other two sites are within the Cairngorms National Park adjacent to the A93 and A939 respectively.

Open to architects and landscape architects still within five years of having completed RIBA Part II or the achievement of Graduate landscape Architect status, the principal aim of the two-

stage competitions is to provide models/demonstration projects for new and innovative design and construction along Scotland’s Scenic Routes, thereby enhancing the country’s tourism infrastructure.

The requirement for the first stage is for conceptual solutions, for full entry details visit the website:

Designer Development DaY SCOTHORT PLAYS HOST TO THE SGD AND SARAH EBERLE Society of Garden Designers Fellow Sarah Eberle FSGD will be staging a Designer Development Day at the first ScotHort event in Edinburgh on Wednesday 16 September 2015.

Sarah qualified as a landscape architect in 1975 and has been working in the industry since that time. She is renowned for her innovative RHS show gardens, for which she has been awarded eight Gold medals.

Show gardens make up a significant part of Sarah’s work and she will use this informal lecture to speak about how she conceives and manages the creation of a show garden. In addition Sarah will be explaining her approach to garden design, her philosophy and her driving passions, drawing examples from her portfolio to illustrate the talk.

Sarah designed her first show garden, The Woodland Garden, for the Daily Mail Pavilion at Hampton Court in 1990. Her Chelsea debut in 2006 was called Walking Barefoot with Bradstone, for which she received a gold medal. The following year, Sarah won best in show for her 600 Days with Bradstone.

Sarah is now on the selection panel for the RHS, having done

her ‘apprenticeship’ by judging show gardens. She now designs show gardens all over the world and her work has been shown as far afield as Japan, New Zealand and Singapore.

This inspiring day will give delegates a fascinating insight into the working life of one of the UK’s top landscape and garden designers and the opportunity to learn from Sarah’s broad knowledge and experience. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask Sarah questions throughout the day.

www.sgd.org.uk Target audience This event will be of interest to garden designers at all levels.

Programme 10am to 4pm including time for questions and a lunch break.

Items to bring Something to take notes with.

Refreshments Tea and coffee included, with cake if you’re lucky!

The Society of Garden Designers Designer Development Day runs from 10am-4pm.

INTERVIEW

STUART DILLETT

MANAGING DIRECTOR, LAND ENGINEERING

How did you get into landscaping?

I always knew I didn’t want a desk-bound job, so I studied for a degree in horticulture. During student holidays I worked for Land Engineering, initially as a labourer, moving up to foreman and then assistant contracts manager. On my graduation in 1989 they offered me a permanent job and here I am 26 years later. When I joined, the business employed about 15 people with two vans. Today, we employ up to 600.

and refurbishment of buildings, especially historic and listed buildings and traditional and rainscreen masonry associated with new retail, commercial and residential schemes.

Secondly, there is the planned and preventative maintenance of external landscaped areas. Thirdly, the volume and nature of repairs and remedial works we have carried out for customers for many years led us to recently create a third dedicated workstream, specifically to handle this ad hoc responsive work. All of our business support functions like finance, HR, admin, IT and business development are located at head office in the centre of Glasgow and our operational staff work from three main centres at Fenwick in Ayrshire, Edinburgh and Dumfries.

What’s the structure of your business?

Having started out in 1980 as a traditional landscaping contractor, the business has grown substantially and diversified across a range of complementary areas, so that today we are structured across three main workstreams.

Firstly, we build projects, for example town and city regeneration and infrastructure projects, where we deliver all of the associated civil engineering works, high quality natural stone surfaces and soft landscaping. We also deliver masonry projects, including the restoration

What’s a typical sized landscaping contract for you?

There’s no such thing as a typical contract for us. On projects, we work on contracts ranging in value from £200,000 up to around £10m. Our planned maintenance contracts have an annual value between £50,000 and £1m and some of these are multiple year contracts.

Our reactive works can be valued from as little as £50 through some of our framework contracts up to around £200,000. Some of our framework agreements can run for up to seven years.

as befits the managing director of one of scotland’s leading names in hard and soft landscaping, stuart dilleTt is a forward thinker who has built a solid base at land engineering from which to grow

Are you members of any of the landscaping associations?

We are members of BALI and also the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) in Scotland.

Does Scotland’s landscaping sector differ from the rest of the UK? Both our summers and winters tend to be wetter and colder so that presents a different set of challenges on the ground. In

20/08/2015 12:51

SCOTHORT terms of the Scottish marketplace, I think there are some fairly major differences compared to the rest of the UK. In Scotland we have a large number of landscaping contractors operating in what is a relatively small market, so the competition is intense.

There’s also the question of scale. In Scotland there is a relative scarcity of very large landscaping contracts compared to England, and in particular the south east, where multi-million pound landscaping contracts are much more common.

How do you choose which contracts to go for?

In simple terms we target work we know we are good at. In reality, the procurement process can be a lengthy, time-consuming and ultimately expensive undertaking, with various stages including pre-qualification, tender submission, presentations etc. We have a sophisticated assessment system in place to evaluate every tender opportunity and we use this to make a straightforward ‘go’ or ‘no go’ decision.

What’s the company’s turnover?

In the current financial year, our turnover will be in the region of £41.5m.

How has the business developed in the last few years?

Like most companies in the sector, we have found the last few years a challenging experience. We have experienced a decline in revenues and profitability, with margins squeezed and under pressure. Throughout this period we have tried very hard to consolidate what we have, to rationalise where necessary and to invest in re-shaping the business so that it’s in the best possible position to maximise the opportunities now starting to appear in today’s marketplace.

How do you believe you set yourself apart from your competitors?

Ultimately, it’s for our customers to determine the extent to which we differ from our competitors. Certainly, we strive very hard to achieve customer satisfaction by delivering long lasting, quality projects with the highest standards of workmanship. More specifically, we believe we have earned a reputation for tackling highly complex projects, often

deemed to be ‘risky’ and coming up with solutions that meet our clients’ demands.

Do you have any unfulfilled career ambitions?

Over the past 27 years, I have been very fortunate to play out my career ambitions at Land Engineering, a fantastic company to work for. There are always challenges ahead and right now I am focused on maximising the benefits of our recent restructuring and taking the company forward to a whole new level.

How many staff do you employ?

Our core workforce is 420 which rises to 600 plus in high season.

What training do you supply your staff with?

Training and people development is a big area for us and I believe we go way beyond the industry norm in developing our people.

We have a very structured approach to the statutory mandatory training which essentially provides a licence to operate. Beyond that, we have a big commitment to vocational skills training and qualifications across the whole workforce from operatives to managers. We operate a good apprenticeship programme and also support employees and students following degree courses in civil engineering, surveying and horticulture through day release, scholarships and sponsorships.

All operatives attend a full occupational health screen annually.

BALI award winning environmental improvements, Wellgreen Court for Glasgow Housing Association

What’s the split between domestic and commercial work for you?

Our work is split roughly 60% public sector and 40% private sector led commercial. We don’t do any domestic jobs.

What does the future look like for Land Engineering?

I do think there are encouraging signs that the market is starting to come out of what has been a recessionary period. We have weathered the previously tough trading conditions in pretty good shape and built a solid and sustainable base. We believe there is now real potential to grow the business and we are currently aiming to hit £50m turnover within the next three years.

What do you do to relax when you’re not working?

Outside of work I like to spend time with the family and I also try to keep fit. Early morning workouts and cycling are favourite pastimes which help to clear the head daily. www.landengineering.co.uk Scotland Supplement | September 2015

IN THE

ART GARDEN new hopetoun gardens talks about building its award-winning Show Garden at Gardening Scotland 2015 earlier this year

The brief The scenario specified by the designers for New Hopetoun Gardens, a garden centre just west of Edinburgh, was an outdoor space to be used for relaxation, entertaining and displaying a collection of art, but which didn’t demand to be ‘gardened’.

All the plants used to decorate the garden were from a Carefree Plant palette which was launched by New Hopetoun Gardens to help customers decorate their gardens in order to enjoy them more, but not to need any significant care.

Design, build and site constraints The garden had to be created in eight days and removed in just one day. It had to be rebuilt afterwards at New Hopetoun Gardens as a display garden to promote the art in a summer event at the garden centre.

It needed to engage visitors by showing them how stylish even a small outside space could be and with clever use and positioning of materials the space could be subdivided and appear to be quite spacious.

No digging in was allowed on the show ground and the garden had to be easily erected, dismantled and rebuilt.

Materials Apart from the stylish Millboard decking and the Valspar outdoor paint, all the materials and plants are products promoted and sold by the garden centre. The mature plants were sourced from regular growers but collected over a period of four months to ensure availability and performance.

uck-Truck Scotland has dealt its select range of powered pedestrian barrows from two different sites over the past decade and subsequently built up strong demand with local authorities, particularly during the winter months. The original market leading Muck-Truck dumper is available with bespoke, quick-fitting accessories designed to suit the varying needs of customers particularly in the landscape industry.

Chris Hardy, director of Muck-Truck Scotland, spoke to Jack Bacon about contractors’ preferred turf tyre and flatbed accessory combinations allowing high payloads to be transported without damage to materials, machine or surroundings.

When was Muck-Truck first established and how long has it operated in Scotland?

Muck-Truck is the original pedestrian wheelbarrow and has been in constant manufacture for the last 18 years. Muck-Truck Scotland was founded 10 years ago. The company is owned by Terry Rowlands. His father designed the Muck-Truck many moons ago, it was originally designed in two-wheel drive form before being changed to four-wheel drive.

How has the company benefited from its move to Alva, Clackmannanshire?

Previously we were based in Paisley, but our new base is much bigger and allows us to hold more stock and machinery.

Which clients are you closely associated with?

Companies like HSS hire our products throughout the UK and Brandon tool hire are another mainstream supplier of our products.

However, most of our products either go to end users or small extension contractors and landscaper users.

TRADING WITH MUCK-TRUCK SCOTLAND

How have your three main Muck-Truck products been received in Scotland?

Most people use the original Muck-Truck, it seems to be the favourite. We have found the MAX proves to be primarily used by contractors required to move lots of materials over greater distances. The E-Truck has been going for four or five years. There are one or two niche users who must have zero emissions, such as people working underground or in confined spaces for example. The standard fit Honda engine is very low in smoke emissions and as a result, a strong favourite.

Which model has been your biggest seller?

The original. It’s a tough machine, incredibly reliable, has plenty of power, very nimble and can stand up to whatever people throw at it.

How many clients do you have within the landscaping sector?

About 40% of our customers are landscapers and 40-50% of our revenue arrives from trade sales.

Do you have a good relationship with Scottish contractors?

We supply to local authorities, predominantly for snow cleaning duties. One of the quick fit accessories is a snow blade, so quite a few of the Scottish councils use Muck-Trucks. There are a couple of Muck-Trucks at Stirling Castle, for example, which are fitted with vacuum units. Most of the local authorities tend to use Muck-Trucks for general works, primarily clearing pavements of snow in winter.

Do you provide a product demonstration when handing over Muck-trucks to customers?

We would normally do so but they are now so well known and it is such a simple and reliable machine, it is very rare that we are requested

12

to carry out a demo. The machine is very intuitive and doesn’t require a long training process to operate.

Do you manage a team of technicians at Muck-Truck Scotland?

We look after it but we find the customers are easily able to maintain them themselves, if you can look after a lawn mower, you can look after a Muck-Truck. Any local garden centre would be able to carry out minor repairs but again we rarely receive servicing requests due to their great reliability.

How has trade in 2015 compared to last year?

We have noticed an uptake in activity and we are happy to supply to everyone in Scotland. www.mucktruckscotland.com

SEMINAR PROGRAMME

SCOTHORT 09.30 – 10.00 & 12.30 – 13.00 Outdoor Demonstration Stage Chainsaw Training Demonstration

10.00 – 11.00 Main Seminar Stage Purchasing for Productivity with Angus Lindsay

With a few exceptions our industry has traditionally gone down the ‘one job, one machine’ route. Times are tough and we need to look at alternatives to get the best from our assets – both people and the equipment they use. It is not all about the machines but the people who use them. We need to train for change and flexibility at all levels to remain competitive in an ever evolving marketplace. The recession is by no means over and we need to adapt to a new economic climate.

11.00 – 12.00 Main Seminar Stage Tank Mixing Fungicide, Nutrients and Bio-stimulants as part of an Integrated Disease Control Strategy with Joe Kinder 15.00 – 16.00 Main Seminar Stage Working Together with Carolyn Grohmann, Nick Benge, Gillian Polley and Gerry Condron

Carolyn Grohmann, Nick Benge, Gillian Polley and Gerry Condron will take to the stage to discuss the benefits of creating a better working practice between landscapers and designers.

10.00 – 11.00 Royal Suite How you Can Save Time, Money and Increase your Profits with Vectorworks with Adrian Slatter

Adrian Slatter will show you how you can save time in the design process by working in 2D/3D simultaneously; create plant/hardscape schedules to track costs; work more easily with other professionals and create stunning visuals to generate more business.

15.00 – 16.00 Royal Suite CED & Steintech Masterclass with Giles Heap, Managing Director CED Limited and Steven Burton, Managing Director of Steintech

In most cases of failure and/or staining in paving, the issues are with the design rather than the construction. In a joint masterclass, CED and Steintech will focus on “Rigid Pavement Design with Natural Stone – Best Practice”. This will be of great interest to architects, designers, contractors and landscapers alike.
