Once a landscape scheme have been designed & constructed, the importance of its maintenance and long term management cannot be understated as it has a massive influence on the success of any scheme.

Open spaces, shrub beds & trees as well as hardscaping elements require a management plan to ensure that they reach their full potential. Effective landscape management doesn't occur by accident. A landscape management plan is the result of expert knowledge, good planning and communication, tight control of budgets and reliable record-keeping. Clear performance targets are essential so that progress can be accurately measured.

Landscape Management

Based on our experience we compile site specific practical landscape management plans. By using a successful strategic landscape management strategy, we ensure landscape facilities are fit for purpose and safe to use. By assessing the entire landscape scheme, not just its individual elements, we design solutions that really work within budget, often saving money for the management company and residents. We aim to work with the property managers and the residents to ensure that the landscape scheme fulfils its full potential.

To manage a landscape scheme in a properly co-ordinated, effective way,a landscape management plan is essential. The plan needs identifying what needs to be done, how it will be done and how much it is going to cost. As a result of our experience and knowledge our management plans have a strong practical bias. 

Specification

Combined with a management plan, specifications ensure that the objectives are met. A good specification must accurately describe realistic quality and performance standards and if this happens then project management and implementation will be more efficient and should cost less; while the resulting end product should meet or even exceed expectations.

Good grounds maintenance and landscape specifications act as the contract for landscape construction and maintenance projects and set the standards of what the work has to achieve. Landscape specifications ensure that the client knows what he is paying for while the contractor knows what he has to supply. Good specification reduces the risk of disputes and is also an important management tool. This is exactly what we aim to offer our clients, a well written landscape and grounds maintenance specifications. 

Public Openspaces & Communal Landscaped Areas

With the increase in high density living and the construction of large number of apartment blocks, the landscape features of residential developments are important as they provide an external living space. As a result such areas are often highly valued by the local residents. The need for effective management of such landscapes,using appropriate,sustainable maintenance methods cannot be overstated. To meet this need we prepare landscape assessments and reports. These are followed by enhancement programmes and specifications appropriate to that particular site. Supervision of improvement work and ongoing maintenance ensures effective implementation.

Sports Ground Facilities

The maintenance and management of a pitch poses unique challenges and is an area in which we specialise in. The long term management of such facilities is important for the point of view of player safety. Our experience includes both natural grass pitches and also synthetic surfaces. Soil samples are often the first step in this process and from here we can draw up management plans to implement the appropriate maintenance schedules. We also supervise construction and maintenance works if required.
