Our early work was primarily residential (sheltered accommodation, properties for sale and rent) for small private developers and Housing Associations.

This includes the preparation of landscape feasibility studies and visual assessments, the planning and design of multidisciplinary projects together with large and small scale residential schemes, ‘instant gardens’ and the detail design, construction and implementation of the work on site. We have developed an expertise in the design of hard surface areas, using natural stone within sensitive locations, and the restoration of historic estates. Our specialty is in urban design, and integrating sustainability into landscape projects. Over recent years we have also developed skills in healthcare understanding and the design of internal/external areas. We like to fully involve the client in the design process and aim to make each project an enjoyable and rewarding experience. It is always exciting when we are presented with a challenge and the Client has the confidence in our ability to succeed. We are at our best when allowed to fully use our imagination and design skills. Much of our work comes via recommendation and repeat business, and we have a reputation for being able to ‘think outside the box’. Other team members have commented that ‘our remit often goes way beyond a normal landscape brief.’
