Sustainability
Besides designing gardens which weather well and will last for many years we also undertake to use sustainable practices and technologies such as:
Ethical sourcing of materials, using local materials as far as possible and complying rigorously with codes such as FSC
Soft rather than hard landscape solutions where possible
Recycling and use of composted materials
Planting design appropriate to the existing microclimate and conditions
Incorporation of green roofs and walls
Sustainable drainage systems, permeable paving and reduction of runoff to mains drains and sewers
Inclusion of productive and edible plants in planting schemes
Maximum biodiversity within planting schemes to encourage wildlife
Minimisation of waste
Greening of the built landscape
Grey water recycling and rainwater harvesting
