Our range of work and expertise includes site planning and assessment; derelict land restoration; community gardens; urban parks; play areas; school grounds; community allotments; housing estate improvements; road corridors; streetscapes; cycle ways; nature trails; heritage sites; landscape management plans; and design strategies.

We also work with businesses to improve the quality of their external spaces. By producing and implementing innovative designs, we can often raise the image of a company and deliver a landscape that contributes to a favourable first impression for customers and visitors.

Sustainability is at the heart of our design solutions. We try to develop schemes that are cost-effective, reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of a development. Where appropriate, we can source eco-friendly materials, incorporate sustainable drainage solutions into the design and produce planting schemes that make the best use of native species. Our services are aligned with the green infrastructure approach, which looks to safeguard critical natural areas.
