A recent release from ACO sees the introduction of the ThresholdDrain® Channel. The ACO ThresholdDrain® comes complete with either a silver or black aluminium Heelguard grating suitable for pedestrian traffic. The discreet system has a width of 60mm and is available in 1m lengths.

Available in Black and Silver. With a range of accessories available from corner units to vertical outlets, it is now possible to use as part of a modern patio drainage system. Ideal for installation by doors or in areas prone to flooding allowing the water to be directed elsewhere.

Gripple Trellising Kits

The Gripple professional trellising kits provide a strong, discreet, versatile framework to support wall vegetation growth; ideal for professional landscapers.

Geo-Cell Pond/Soakaway Boxes

Not a new product to Landscapeplus but under-appreciated the Geo-Cell boxes offer a very flexible method of building a reservoir for a rock or pebble water feature. Simply dig a hole to the required size, lay in the fleece and liner, follow with another layer of fleece, put in the Geo-Cell box (or a number of boxes tie-wrapped together) and simply cover with pebbles or rocks.

These boxes support a massive weight of 9.5 tonnes per m3, and can be used for the largest water features as well as for the construction of soakaways. As the top is removable, they also make an ideal sump for a water feature or a housing for a pond pump

Installing trees in your build? Tree anchoring is an efficient and reliable method to anchor the trees underground and greatly improve the visual impact of the landscape. The trees will receive extra support without visible timber or stakes.

With the Driven fixing Installation is quick and simple, with the anchors driven into the ground manually using the Pro Drive installation tool. The root ball is then secured using the heavy-duty ratchet straps for easy tensioning.

The Deadman system (Weighted Fixing) is a below ground tree anchoring system designed to stabilise newly
planted trees. For use when the driving of anchors is not
possible and a more traditional ballast system needs to
be used, for example, concrete blocks. Features a strap
tensioning system for ease of use and is supplied as a
ready-to-use kit.

Adjustable End-Line Potstream Drippers on Stake

Installing a micro irrigation system? Are you having a section of the planting potted? Why not add these ingenious little Potstreamer's into the run and utilise your system as efficiently as possible.

The Potstream is a side mounted watering solution for potted plants and containers. The adjustable gentle stream pattern minimises soil erosion and the variable flow rate and pattern radius allow for use in various pot sizes.

PondoVac
An essential for any pond installation and as part of the kit on your van. The PondoVac is ideal for customer use in order to keep their ponds clean and free of algae build-up. Available in two sizes:

The PondoVac 4 is the ideal choice for the contractor as it provides non-stop pond cleaning without delays even when the tank is emptying. It uses an innovative system of two-chambers which are filled and emptied in alternate cycles. When one chamber is full, a mechanical valve is activated by a float. This triggers emptying of the first chamber and allows the second to be filled.The PondoVac 5 is a more flexible alternative, providing the same non-stop pond cleaning but with a higher flow rate (8000 litres per hour), and built-in pump to carry away the waste water even up hill. It uses the same innovative system of two chambers which are filled and emptied in alternate cycles. It has an easy
connect discharge hose which can be used to pump
waste water up to 10m away, making it ideal for use
as a wet and dry vacuum around the house.

Oase SwimSkim Surface Skimmer

Often overlooked and essential for a healthy and happy pond. These innovative products from Oase are designed as stand alone units, and come with a built-in
re-circulating pump. They automatically adapt to the water level in the pond, and include an injector for oxygenating the water, which is great for improving pond health and water quality.
