The practice is committed to Landscape Design and Management solutions which conserve resources throughout the life of the projects i.e., producing designs which reduce construction and future maintenance costs e.g. petrochemical inputs (fuel, fertiliser, herbicide etc) and labour costs.

This will initially, involve designing with natural components of topography ,soils, hydrology and climate to accommodate user needs and includes:

• Maximising re-use of existing site materials (subsoil, topsoil, stone) / minimum offsite removal.
• Reducing demands on water resources for plant requirements and reducing run-off from sites.
• Conservation of existing vegetation where appropriate to provide a mixed age plant cover to sites.
• Creation/ protection/ enhancement of habitats for wildlife.

Every site and user group is unique and the design objectives of ‘Long Life, Low Energy, Loose Fit' will be followed to ensure that attractive, high quality landscapes are created, as assets, for present and future generations.
