Urban Greening
Our approach to Urban Greening
In today’s increasingly built-up environments, our urban greening services play a vital role in reconnecting cities with nature through strategic, science-based approaches. We specialize in seamlessly integrating trees and green infrastructure into urban landscapes to deliver measurable environmental benefits while enhancing community wellbeing and aesthetic value.
Our multidisciplinary team designs complete greening systems that address the unique challenges of built environments. For street tree planting programs, we conduct detailed site assessments to select species that will thrive in constrained conditions, considering factors like pollution tolerance, mature size, and root architecture. Our solutions incorporate innovative planting techniques such as structural soil systems and root barriers that allow trees to prosper alongside pavements and utilities.
We recognise that successful urban greening requires holistic planning, we collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and urban planners from project inception. Our experts advise on soil volume requirements, irrigation strategies, and microclimate considerations to ensure long-term viability. We particularly focus on mitigating urban heat island effects through strategic canopy cover and reflective planting schemes.
Our advanced GIS mapping quantifies carbon storage and sequestration for urban trees and green spaces, providing precise data to support sustainability goals. By analysing species, size, and growth rates, we generate detailed carbon inventories and projections, thus enabling informed decisions to maximise climate benefits while meeting reporting requirements for ESG frameworks, ABG targets and carbon offset and sequestration initiatives.
For larger developments, we create integrated green infrastructure plans that combine trees with sustainable drainage systems, habitat zones, and community green spaces. Our designs always consider maintenance requirements and future growth patterns to deliver sustainable results.
From small-scale rain gardens to district-wide green corridors, our urban greening services combine arboricultural expertise with practical urban design knowledge. We help clients navigate planning requirements while achieving sustainability targets, ultimately creating healthier, more resilient urban environments that benefit both people and wildlife for generations to come.
What we do
Our urban greening services integrate trees and green infrastructure into built environments to enhance air quality, reduce heat islands, and support biodiversity. We design tailored solutions, from street tree planting to SUDS ponds, ensuring species selection aligns with site conditions and long-term sustainability goals. Our team collaborates with landscape architects and planners to maximise ecological benefits while addressing challenges like soil compaction and limited rooting space. Whether for public realm projects or private developments, we create resilient, thriving urban ecosystems."
