☀️ Summer is the perfect time to understand your habitats.

With the majority of botanical species in flower, summer habitat surveys provide a valuable opportunity to establish a clear baseline assessment of your site.
If your site contains habitats of ecological value, our habitat specialists can help you identify opportunities to maximise Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and make the most of your scheme.

As Phase 2 of Atlantic Park, Liverpool nears completion, our Landscape Architecture team recently visited site to see how the Phase 1 planting has matured. 🍃

The scheme combines native hedgerows, vibrant wildflower planting and welcoming staff seating areas with contemporary paving, creating a high-quality landscape that complements the development’s modern logistics units.

The Smeeden Foreman team recently took a trip to Ireland for a visit to the Tobermore paving factory. Janette, Harry and Nicholas from SF, alongside three architects from .architects , had the opportunity to explore Tobermore’s latest product innovations, gain insight into advanced manufacturing techniques, and go behind the scenes on a full factory tour. Seeing the craftsmanship and production process up close offered valuable inspiration and a deeper understanding of the work that goes into creating high-quality paving solutions. 🇮🇪🏗️✨

🦡 Badger Survey Season is Here!

Did you know a badger survey can be carried out at any time of year? However, the best time is between February and April when badgers are most active and vegetation cover is lower — making signs like setts, tracks, and paths much easier to identify.

If your development project could impact badgers, a professional survey, report, and mitigation plan may be required.

Our experienced ecologists can help you navigate ecological constraints and keep your project moving forward while protecting wildlife.

We were delighted to host Iyla, a third-year student at Leeds Beckett University, following the college’s speed mentoring event.

With a strong interest in biophilic design, Iyla developed a thoughtful hard and soft landscape proposal for a children’s hospital unit in West Yorkshire, balancing experiential and functional needs. She also supported the team on a live project, contributing to a landscape assessment and site appraisal and gaining insight into the early stages of the design process.

We wish Iyla every success in the remainder of her studies and hope to work with her again in the future.

🌿✨ Site visit in Coventry last Friday!

We are incredibly proud to see how seamlessly landscape and ecology have come together on this scheme. A thoughtful blend of retained vegetation with newly introduced mixed native scrub, native hedges, tree planting, and wildflower seeding — all working together to deliver meaningful BNG gains.

Even better seeing the two drive-thru sites designed by The Harris Partnership fully integrated into this landscape-led approach. We’re really looking forward to seeing these young trees establish and transform the space in the coming years. 🌳💚
