Green Agenda

With a background in Environmental Sciences it is our policy to promote the planting of large wildlife enclosures and shelter belts with native species wherever practicable.  These areas can often serve as mitigation for the construction stage and have become a trademark of Acorn Landscapes designs and plans.

There are many advantages to planting-up wildlife enclosures:

• After their initial planting they require little to no maintenance.
• They offer a cost effective way to reduce overall Garden maintenance, and can hugely reduce lawn mowing.
• They encourage and provide sanctuary for Birds and Wildlife.
• Tree planting aids drainage in wet and waterlogged areas and given time, improves soil quality.
• Native Species thrive in the conditions here and can be used to quickly form screens and to give shelter to exposed sites.
• Planting trees is one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint.  Further information at: www.nativewoodtrust.ie
• Pathways and clearings can be left through the trees which offer a great amenity/play area for children.

Native trees are host to some of the most impressive blossoms and fruits, with trees such as Crab Apples, Wild Cherries, Hawthorn and Rowan making Wildlife enclosures something to be admired.
