Edinburgh Princes Street Gardens Rejuvenated with Rolawn Medallion Turf
Rolawn’s Medallion Turfmaster 1300 rolls have been used as part of a major restoration programme at one of Edinburgh’s most famous city centre gardens.
Edinburgh City Council appointed specialist sports contractor Sportsmasters UK Ltd to undertake the project which included returfing Princes Street Gardens, the horticultural centre of Edinburgh which lies beneath the castle and is an extremely popular lunchtime refuge.
Gavin Brown, Managing Director of Sportsmasters UK Ltd, commented: “Extensive preparation work was involved in producing such a large job and 8000m² Rolawn’s Medallion turf was selected due to its enhanced performance, superior wear and disease resistance. The large format 13m² rolls were used due to the vast expanse to be turfed. This reduced labour time and ensured rapid establishment in readiness for the main tourist season.”
