the land team

Landscape architecture has always underpinned a large proportion of Groundwork projects, both locally and nationally - Groundwork in Derby and Derbyshire is no exception. Whether working to improve housing estates, commercial sites, or parks and gardens, it all starts with careful planning.

Team Leader Mark Jenks says:

"A Landscape Architects' work is not just about drawing plans and appointing contractors. Almost all of our work starts from a consultation process. If we don't consult to find out what the problems and issues may be for any given area, then how can we come up with the right solutions? The key to successful planning and implementation is to talk directly to the people involved, only then can we draw up the kind of plans that address the issues and make people feel happier and more secure in the places they live, work and play."
