Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates enduring outdoor spaces through strategic masterplanning and concept design. We specialise in transforming school grounds, community areas and public parks into functional, biodiverse environments that evolve naturally over time. Our iterative design process ensures client requirements align with practical implementation considerations, delivering cost-effective solutions that maximise long-term value. With 25 years' experience, we combine technical expertise with creative vision to create spaces that foster environmental connections.
Forest School Design
We design and build forest school environments that promote nature-based learning across all key stages. Our approach incorporates year-round accessibility, fire safety features and risk-benefit balanced play elements. Each design includes sheltered learning spaces, natural play features and appropriate tree planting to create immersive educational environments. With 27 years' experience, we've established forest school sites in urban, suburban and rural settings tailored to specific budgetary and educational requirements.
Trees and Planting
Our tree and planting schemes create lasting ecological value through carefully selected native species and strategic placement. We advise on specimen selection, planting techniques and biodiversity strategies that ensure landscapes mature beautifully while requiring minimal maintenance. Our expertise includes creating wildlife corridors, seasonal interest features and erosion control solutions that integrate seamlessly with surrounding environments across schools, parks and community spaces.
Community Engagement
We facilitate community involvement in landscape development through volunteer days, workshops and collaborative design sessions. This approach builds local ownership while reducing implementation costs through shared labour. Our team coordinates community planting events, construction assistance and design input sessions that create lasting emotional connections to the developed spaces while maintaining professional quality standards.
Timber Structures
We design and construct durable timber structures using locally sourced oak, larch and cedar. Our portfolio includes forest school shelters, pergolas and treehouses built with traditional joinery techniques for maximum longevity. Each structure integrates with its surroundings through careful material selection and placement, featuring elements like cedar shingle roofs and natural wood finishes that weather gracefully over time while maintaining structural integrity.
