LIVERPOOL ALBERT DOCK - GREEN PLANTERS

LECA® LWA was specified for garden planters at the entrance of a new development in Liverpool facing the world famous Albert Dock. The aim of the development was to add aesthetically pleasing horticultural features at the entrance of the apartment – adding a colourful and visually stunning entrance for the residents.
LECA® LWA was installed to act as a lightweight substitute for soil for newly built planters on front of the new iconic apartment development by the Vermont Group. LECA® LWA is only one seventh the density of traditional crushed fill and freer draining than soil, this provided the development with a lighter, easier to handle solution for the developers.
