Parks and Gardens

HERITAGE FUND PROJECTS - PUBLIC PARKS AND GARDENS - REGIONAL AND COUNTRY PARKS - RECREATION GROUNDS AND GREEN SPACES - RESTORATION - NEW SPACES, FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS - AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLANNING

We have delivered all stages of park projects including numerous NHLF funded schemes. We have gained valuable insights into park priorities and decision-making. This focuses our approach and integrates landscape proposals with social and economic imperatives including management and maintenance, conservation planning, audience and activity planning, voluntary and educational projects.

Our sustainable design approach is married to technical and pragmatic skills to delivery that will focus on your aims and specifications, the aspirations of local people and objectives of the funders. Our ethic of environmental sustainability seeks to increase ecological diversity and richness of the landscape as a response to settings and surrounds. We know economic sustainability is a key consideration as park budgets decline. Over 20 years we have restored and revitalised many parks and are acutely aware of the need for, as highlighted in Nesta’s ‘Rethinking Parks’, new visions of how parks can be maintained, how they can generate income and use resources differently, and how they can empower local communities.
