Landscape Architecture

Customers come to ESP for professional, practical and sustainable landscape planning and design. ESP’s approach is to forge partnerships between customers, development teams, regulatory authorities and local communities.

ESP understands the business of its customers as well as the functions of the landscape. Landscape design should add value to the development as well as the environment.

Creating sustainable landscapes involves a balance of:

Maintaining or improving biodiversity – making space for wildlife
Prudent use of natural resources – making best use of site resources and minimising waste
Enabling sustainable business – resolving conflicts between business and the environment
Creating social benefits – from individual well being to effective communities
Creating opportunities for aesthetic enjoyment – designing for all five senses.
