Services
Soft Landscaping
We deliver complete soft landscaping solutions from concept to completion. Our qualified horticulturists create sustainable outdoor spaces for commercial and public sector clients, managing planting schemes, turfing, and seasonal displays. With expertise in complex site logistics, we coordinate works alongside other trades while maintaining environmental compliance. Our award-winning approach combines aesthetic design with practical functionality for lasting landscapes.
Invasive Weed Control
Our specialist team eliminates invasive species using targeted stem-injection techniques. We handle Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed, and other problematic plants through environmentally responsible methods that protect surrounding ecosystems. Certified to NPTC PA6AW standards, we operate near watercourses with boat-mounted applicators and maintain Environment Agency permissions for sensitive sites. This approach avoids blanket spraying and minimises ecological impact.
Snow Clearance
We provide critical snow and ice removal services at Heathrow Airport. Our trained operatives use specialist equipment to maintain aircraft stands, runways, and airside roads. The service includes runway drivers, de-icing teams, and mechanical operators working on-call during winter periods. Full training and safety protocols ensure reliable operations in challenging weather conditions while maintaining airport safety standards.
Aquatic Weed Control
Our certified applicators manage aquatic vegetation in rivers and protected areas. Using boat-mounted systems, we target invasive water plants without harming native species. This service complies with Environment Agency regulations and includes site-specific treatment plans. We specialise in sensitive locations where traditional methods would cause ecological damage, ensuring legal compliance for landowners.
Environmental Consultancy
We advise on sustainable land management practices that balance development needs with ecological protection. Services include invasive species surveys, treatment planning, and regulatory compliance guidance. Our consultants work with clients to implement environmentally responsible solutions that meet legal requirements while achieving project goals. This includes waste management strategies and pollution prevention measures.
