Landscape + habitat enhancement services

Ecological design that meets regulatory requirements and creates landscapes that are functionally alive.

Services

We offer a range of services, including landscaping plans and specifications for biodiversity enhancements to meet the needs of relevant regulations.

  • We develop bespoke seed mixes tailored to soil type, hydrology, aspect, and long‑term management. These mixes support pollinators, invertebrates, and soil life, and can be used for:

    • BNG grassland creation

    • meadow establishment

    • road verges and buffer zones

    • attenuation basins and SuDS features

  • We design planting for riverbanks, ditches, and wetland edges that supports:

    • erosion control

    • water quality improvement

    • amphibian and invertebrate habitat

    • flood resilience

    • EA compliance for riparian works

  • We work on sites where ecological uplift is required, including:

    • housing developments

    • rural land diversification

    • community green spaces

    • engineered and water‑connected sites

    • utilities and infrastructure corridors

    This includes designing habitats such as:

    • species‑rich grasslands

    • native hedgerows

    • wetland margins

    • woodland edge and scrub mosaics

    • pollinator corridors

    • green roofs and living structures

Working within legislation

Our work aligns with the key frameworks shaping land development and ecological enhancement in England

  • We design habitats that contribute meaningfully to BNG calculations, ensuring:

    • measurable uplift in habitat units

    • appropriate habitat types for the site

    • long‑term management considerations

    • alignment with ecologist recommendations

  • We support projects that require habitat creation or enhancement to meet regulatory obligations, ensuring designs:

    • protect and enhance priority habitats

    • support protected species

    • integrate with ecological mitigation strategies

  • For riparian and water‑connected sites, I design with EA guidance in mind, including:

    • bank stability and erosion control

    • flood risk and water flow

    • native species selection

    • habitat connectivity

    • long‑term resilience under climate pressure

The process

Site reading + ecological context

We begin by understanding the land: its hydrology, soil, microclimates, and existing ecological networks. This informs every design decision.

Collaboration with technical teams

We work closely with ecologists, engineers, and planners to ensure the design integrates seamlessly with surveys, mitigation strategies, and construction constraints.

Habitat design + specification

We create practical design packages including planting plans, seed mix specifications, habitat creation notes, management guidance, and materials and sourcing recommendations.

Implementation + management support

We provide guidance during installation to ensure habitats are created correctly, and clear, realistic management recommendations that support their long‑term success, essential for BNG and regulatory compliance.

Let’s work together

If you’re developing land, enhancing a riparian corridor, or seeking to meet BNG or habitat regulation requirements, we’d love to help shape a landscape that is resilient, biodiverse, and grounded in place.
