Services
Habitat Creation
We design and implement custom habitats that support diverse wildlife species. Our approach combines native planting schemes with structural elements to create sustainable ecosystems. Each project incorporates features like hibernation areas, nesting sites, and food sources to establish balanced environments.
Invasive Species Control
Specialist control of invasive plants including Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed. Our methods combine chemical treatments with ecological management strategies. We provide both one-off interventions and long-term management plans to protect native biodiversity across residential and commercial properties.
Wildlife Pond Installation
Design and construction of naturalistic ponds that support aquatic wildlife. We use butyl-rubber liners for durability and incorporate marginal plants to create balanced ecosystems. Our ponds provide habitats for amphibians, insects, and birds while enhancing garden aesthetics.
Wildflower Meadow Creation
Establishment of native wildflower meadows using Emorsgate Seeds' British wildflower mixes. We create both permanent meadows and annual cornfield flower displays. These low-maintenance habitats support pollinators and provide seasonal colour while requiring only annual cutting.
Native Tree Planting
Planting schemes featuring native British tree species to create wildlife corridors and habitats. We specialise in orchard development at various scales, combining fruit trees with wildflower understories to maximise ecological benefits and visual appeal.
