Earlier this month we had a rash of Silva Cell installations in the UK. The trees for one of those — the Lidl Store in New Milton — are now in. We can’t wait to see these London planes in the spring when they start to leaf out and provide some much needed shade and… More
By Patrick Greeley This week’s Silva Cell installation tip: Don’t forget about the street/site lighting when scheduling your Silva Cell installation.
We’ve made a little update to the DeepRoot website that we hope will help people searching out site for information about the Silva Cell.
We had our first commercial installation of Silva Cells along a streetscape in Kelowna, BC nearly 4 years ago (happy almost-anniversary to us). This summer, we were back there for another installation first — a median along a four-lane road.
By Patrick Greeley Now that we’ve seen about 200 Silva Cell projects go in the ground, we’ve learned a thing or two about different ways to go about making these installations a success. Last week we discussed using concrete screws for on-structure sites. Today, we take a look at other innovative ideas we’ve seen along the way.
Hey there! Check out our latest video case study, this time for Sugar Beach. Sugar Beach is part of WaterfronToronto, the largest urban redevelopment project currently underway in North America.
Securing Silva Cell frames to the sub-base using spikes is part of our standard installation details. It’s an important step because it prevents the Cells from shifting around and maintains even, consistent spacing between frames. If you’re installing Silva Cells on-structure, however, regular spikes won’t work. If there is an area of the site where… More
Steve Chatwin-Grindey, our dapper man on the ground in the U.K., has had a particularly busy, um… six months (at least). And he was at three separate Silva Cell installations last week alone! Let’s see which, shall we?
One overcast and dreary day about two weeks ago, Silva Cells were installed in a tree installation at a car park in Derby, UK. (I was just informed, by the way, that “Derby” is pronounced “Dahr-bee,” much to my embarrassment, thankfully I didn’t say it out loud too often). The Connecting Derby site is a project… More
Worldwide we have had more than 150 Silva Cell installations (161, according to our records). You can see them on our regularly updated Google Map!
