Louise is available for consultancy on projects where sustainability is key. This includes major eco-renovation projects, self-build or new build developments.

Our aim is to make sure that the environmental credentials of an eco-building are not undermined the minute you step outside the front door.

Louise can help you integrate the house and garden, so that the two are working together as an eco-system. This includes planting for summer shade and winter shelter, particularly useful in conjunction with passive solar design.

Sourcing materials is an area of particular interest because of the wide range of environmental issues involved. There is rarely a black and white answer so it can be very useful to discuss the pros and cons of different materials.

Advice can be given on managing water. This includes cleaning grey-water, harvesting rain water, drought tolerant planting and reducing surface run-off.

Before building work starts, Louise can help you ensure that major shrubs and trees are not unnecessarily damaged during works and that the top soil is protected. Similarly, on a large site, existing wildlife may need protection during building work and encouragement to return to the new garden.

These are just a few of the topics on which we can help you achieve a sustainable but beautiful landscape. To discuss your requirements, call Louise on 020 8867 2667 or e-mail louise@zass-bangham.com
