Why do companies and organisations still feel the need to spend excessive amounts of time and money on basic ground maintenance. When with a little planning and imagination they can have a stunning space that can serve their staff and wider community.

Landscape Architecture is not only the design of plants , ie softscape elements, but it is the blend of multiple disciplines for any outdoor setting for a better, healthier environment and user experience. Missing the practice! :) #landscape #landscapearchitecture #design #biophilicdesign

Roof gardens, like at Battersea Power Station, should inspire greener housing designs—enhancing biodiversity, creating habitats, and blending nature beautifully into urban living. ##Architecture #BiophilicDesign #GreenArchitecture #SustainableDesign #UrbanBiodiversity

It can be done. Developers need to know that such “green” buildings lease faster and justify any increased initial costs. More municipalities must mandate these features.

🌿 Ever heard about Above Ground Landscaping? If not, you need to… Our cities are full of legacy spaces where digging the ground to plant in deep soil is simply not possible! With above ground landscaping, cities can integrate green spaces like rooftop gardens, green walls, and floating gardens without even digging into streets. 🌳✨ It is an innovative way to green spaces both in a temporary or permanent way without having to spend extensive time and money altering existing urban surfaces. From rooftops to sidewalks, plaza to carpark roofs we are turning concrete jungles into thriving ecosystems. Not only does it add a fresh aesthetic, but they help cool the city, improve air quality, and create community spaces that people love. It’s a clever way to accelerate urban greening!

A big thank you to Labour MP for Exeter Steve Race and Emma Morse for visiting Atlantes Landscapes today! It was an incredible opportunity to dive into key topics, such as business focus and sustainability initiatives. We explored innovations in garden design, construction, and maintenance, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The promotion of green roofs and living walls is a major focus, offering significant benefits to urban environments. A vision for greener urban spaces in Exeter was also one of the topics. We discussed the potential for greener spaces in areas like Marsh Barton and Sowton, and the need for eco-friendly, visually appealing developments. Collaboration with local authorities and businesses will be crucial in transforming these urban spaces. Challenges facing the landscaping sector was also discussed. We touched on the ongoing staffing challenges post-Brexit and the difficulty in attracting outdoor workers. Another key issue was the need for regulatory control in the landscaping industry to ensure high standards and safety, especially in the face of unqualified landscapers. Exciting opportunities lie ahead as we continue to work towards a greener, more sustainable future! Above all, we must thank @apl_news for this unique opportunity. @steveforexeter #Sustainability #UrbanLandscapes #Collaboration #GreenSpaces #LandscapingIndustry #landscapedesign #exeterlife #AtlantesLandscapes #devon #FutureOfLandscaping #bbcdevon #PostBrexitChallenges #bbcradiodevon #mobilane #livingwalls #greenroofs #biophilicdesign #greener #greeninterior #uksustainability #parliament
