What We Deliver
We design and install planting schemes for ponds, retention basins, wetlands, reedbeds, swales, rainwater gardens, riparian corridors and riverbank margins. Species selection is tailored to site conditions, water depth, flow regime and ecological objectives, with a focus on native aquatic and marginal species that support biodiversity and long-term habitat value.
Aquatic and marginal planting is often delivered alongside drainage, SuDS and flood alleviation work. Well-chosen planting enhances the performance of sustainable drainage systems by improving filtration, pollutant removal and bank stabilisation. Our teams have access to amphibious plant and ultra-low ground pressure equipment, enabling safe and effective work in waterlogged, soft or ecologically sensitive environments.
Establishment aftercare is central to planting success. We provide monitoring, vegetation management and replacement planting programmes to ensure healthy growth and lasting ecological performance across every scheme.
