Our key areas of expertise are:

Our services range from conception through the research, feasibility and planning and master-planning stages, to design, contract and tender action, including long term management plans.

A consultant led approach to all projects is adopted to ensure a high standard of service and as a team the practice is managed in a style that allows full consideration and care to every project from start to finish. This includes projects where the practice has been lead consultant, and also where we have provided landscape design services within a consultant team structure.

We have particular skills and experience in urban design, housing, public parks, schools, recreational developments and team working.

The Practice provides Arboricultural Surveys and Arboricultural Impact Assessments in accordance with BS5837:2012, this service is essential where trees are present and early involvement can prevent later delays and costly redesigns.
