This year we were showcasing our unique EARTHWORX Gravelrings and Grassrings system. These modular panels are made from 100% recycled and recyclable UV stabilised plastic and are used to reinforce grass and stabilise gravel on drives and parking areas. The gravel panel has a revolutionary integral mesh base that overcomes the problem of gravel undermining the panels, causing them to lift and prevents the build-up of silt. At only 25mm deep, this means the system requires a shallower dig-out resulting in less muck-away and has a lower gravel demand, considerably reducing the overall cost of the project. The grass panel has an open grid structure that provides over 90% root development area allowing the grass roots to grow laterally without hindrance. Both panels use the exclusive ring design for optimum strength as it has no weak corners and can sustain loads in excess of 350 tonnes/m².
From the moment the doors opened on the 14th our stand was humming with activity. The carefully designed stand with a practical example of the product in action, caught the attention of hundreds of house builders, landscapers, Jewson branch managers and directors, including a visit from Mark Rayfield, CEO of SGBD UK & Ireland! We took over 40 stock orders during the course of the event from branches up and down the country, all of which were entered into our Christmas Hamper Prize Draw. The winning branch was Norwich number 951 – congratulations to Andy Tucker and his team, we hope you enjoy the tasty treats!
A huge thank you goes to the team on the Growtivation stand for their exceptional effort and indeed to Jewson and the event organisers for an expertly organised event. Wishing you all the best for 2017 and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
