Consulation, in-house planning & design
plans being prepared
We offer consultation, planning and design, but crucially we listen to you and your requirements - a subject too often overlooked by others!

Our services fall into two main areas: planning/design and construction. Some clients seek help with just one of these areas whereas others prefer us to manage and carry out the entire project to completion.

Planting schemes & planning permission

Site clearance
before and after scrub clearance
Whether to prepare your site for development or to maximize the potential of the existing landscape, we undertake clearance, scrub removal, thinning of overgrown areas and arboricultural work.
Quality topsoil supply & installation
topsoil installed at a school
We offer a range of topsoil from as-dug agricultural to screened and blended to ensure the best start for your plantings.
Seeding & turfing
newly laid rich green turf
For large areas we use a seed mix which produces thick, luxuriant growth and is hard wearing.

We supply high quality turf grown on dark, organic, free-draining soils. These soils contain high populations of beneficial microbes and it is this that gives the turf its dark green sward.

Tree & shrub planting

Quality control - quality planting. We grow and source a wide range of trees and shrubs to meet your landscape specification requirements.
