Carpinus betulus
Rugby, Warwickshire
This planting project was carried out by our tree installation team at Bourton Hall, a beautiful Georgian mansion house located in 12 acres of gardens, woodlands and meadows in Bourton on Dunsmore, near Rugby in Warwickshire.
The location had recently been purchased and was being re-furbished into a wedding venue.
Hortlands were tasked to screen-off a distant neighboring property and to produce a leafy back-drop along the boundary behind a picturesque water feature. This was positioned to produce an emotional and dramatic atmosphere for wedding photography.
To do this we planted 7 metre tall hornbeam trees, carefully spaced to achieve the remit and to be in leaf during the busy spring and summer months of the business.
To welcome visitors to Bourton Hall we also planted a stunning 7 metre tall large sweet gum tree on a verge near to the entrance gates. This particular tree is a favourite of the owners and is planted at most of their venues.
