The United Kingdom and Ireland's historic designed landscapes are of international renown, providing a link with our past as well as a valuable cultural, recreational and economic resource. They are however fragile environments, with many under threat. They require careful use and management to ensure their preservation and conservation for future generations.

We offer specialist advice on historic landscapes to a wide range of clients, including private individuals, developers, local authorities, the National Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

We undertake survey and assessment of historic landscapes, the production of management and restoration plans and supervision on the ground. Projects include park restoration, lake works, conservation of garden buildings and structures, replanting and management.

We have particular experience of the requirements of the Heritage Lottery Fund and we have been instrumental in securing over £20 million of funding for our clients for urban and historic park restoration throughout the UK (please see our Grants and Funding page).

Some of the projects with which we are involved are:

• Newton Park, Somerset
• Hestercombe Gardens, Somerset
• Plas Newydd, Denbighshire
• Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst
• Trebah, Cornwall
• Lurgan Park, Northern Ireland
