Horticulture & Planting Plant selection and horticultural specification are critical to a successful landscape schemes. We pride ourselves on our extensive plant knowledge and appreciation of individual plant requirements. With a qualified horticulturist employed within our practice we design schemes that are suited to their local environment, are water efficient and are also able to provide habitat and food for wildlife. Planting may be used as a dynamic element within hard landscape structures to provide visually pleasing living forms, seasonal drama and contact with nature. Planting can also provide benefits for the physical environment by cooling and purifying the air, cleaning surface water run off, attenuating noise, providing shade and stabilising banks. We are able to provide comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure the scheme, once planted, continues to be healthy and improve with time. Davis Landscape Architecture
