We manage and develop open spaces and green infrastructure projects, and redesign them for 21st century use. We are involved in a number of open space projects and have secured a role in maintaining and managing regional parks. We work with people to create or improve community gardens, parks, play areas, footpaths and natural spaces. These spaces are vital to our everyday quality of life, but are often neglected and attract crime. They need to be well designed, made relevant to the needs of local people and be beautiful havens for biodiversity and wildlife.
We design natural playscapes for children, full of mounds, logs and fallen trees bushes, flowers and boulders where children can play and explore the natural environment using their imagination. These play spaces are sustainable and have a low environmental impact, whilst meeting safety standards. For more information click here.
