about us

Founded in 2003 by Owen Saward, our exponential growth since then is based on a high quality, proactive and personal approach. Consequently, we maintain excellent relationships with Borough, District and County planning authorities.

Our core disciplines are arboriculture; ecology; environmental urban design; landscape appraisal and design; masterplanning and detailed site planning.

Our mission is to

• facilitate new development, to make it work
• promote the benefits of landscape and biodiversity-led design
• think about the impact of development in a joined-up way
• achieve real sustainable development - creating attractive, multi-functional places

We believe that trees, landscape and wildlife are central to sustainable development and that they are assets, not obstacles.

In all our work, good design is paramount and stems from

• open communication between professionals
• an innovative approach to development constraints
• using the right professionals for the job
• getting involved early in a project
• aiming high, for the best possible outcome

Which means we deliver integrated solutions that demonstrate a clear progression through the
