Staying on Spec

We Only Cut Turf Not Corners

When bringing your landscape project to fruition, we always complete the installation to your specification. We will not cut corners by using lower specification materials and will only use the best trees and plants.

Our intention with any project is that the grass, trees and plants will thrive. Indeed, that is why we offer on almost every installation a 12-month maintenance period to ensure that the planting not only survives but also Becomes established for the long term.

 

 

We not only stick to the spec but we also use quality topsoil and turf, plants and trees from reputable growers to ensure that the green areas surrounding your building or development meet the clients’ and architects’/ specifiers’ expectations.

Taking care to prepare the ground and provide the quality of the soil and strong basis for turf, grass seed, plants and trees to survive is paramount. There are significant benefits to quality landscaping in a development, especially in urban areas, and we both respect and encourage this.

We will only make changes to the specification when requested by the client or their representatives, or sometimes suggested by ourselves, always again to benefit the overall effect.

For soft landscaping that stays on spec and fulfils your expectations, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

 

Panoramic Propels Forward

Newly Appointed Contracts Manager

We are delighted to introduce the newest member of the Panoramic Landscape team, Michal Kurek. Michal has joined us as a Contracts Manager and will form part of our operational management team.

 

 

Michal has worked with individuals within the Panoramic cohort previously and therefore it is to the delight of many that he is now part of the team. He brings to the table years of knowledge with extensive hands-on soft landscaping and horticulture experience.

We have decided to bring Michal into the company to help assist with existing operations. We have continued to grow extensively and so to ensure we provide the same high-quality level of service our clients have come to expect, we must also grow within.

The past three months has seen Panoramic secure large volumes of work which has further propelled the company’s growth and so we welcome Michal to help manage the additional contracts.

Annual Supervisor / Foreman Conference

 

Annual Supervisor / Foreman Conference

This week, we held an important team meeting at the Marriott Hotel in Kensington, London. It was the perfect chance for us to get together as one unit and share the complete company journey from start to finish.

We are a growing team and not everyone in the office were completely aware of what the supervisor/foreman do and vice versa. This communication meeting allowed us to showcase the roles of the various teams. Also, the steps involved in securing a job, ordering materials, etc, before anyone arrives on-site and begins work.

 

 

We spent the rest of our time together discussing health and safety, RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statement) and compliance, as well as the company image that we want to portray and how we can continue to uphold the excellent service we provide. A highly productive meeting all round.

Phillip Hilbeck, Founder and Director of Panoramic thanked the team for their continued hard work over the past 18 months. Their combined efforts in helping to grow the company and make it a success.

 

First For First Aid

 

A number of our site foremen have recently completed comprehensive first aid training.  Congratulations to all for passing the course and receiving their certificates.

The course qualifies the attendees as a First Aider, enabling them to deal with an accident or injury in the workplace and provides them with the knowledge to identify a variety of possible illnesses and injuries, including assessing the need to seek further medical attention.

The qualification meets the requirements of the Health and Safety Regulations (First Aid) 1981 and the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982. The qualification was delivered and assessed in accordance with current Resuscitation Council UK guidelines and is valid for three years.
