How to get in touch with our team
Our landscape designers and project managers work with people to create or improve community gardens, parks, play areas, footpaths and natural spaces. These spaces are vital to our everyday quality of life, but are often neglected and may attract misuse. They need to be well designed, made relevant to the needs of local people – and be beautiful havens for wildlife. We also help to create activities to put land back to use, for example for community sports, food growing or practical conservation activities. The spaces which we improve and maintain range from small, urban, neighbourhood ‘pocket’ parks to large, rural, nature reserves.

Location: Newquay, Cornwall Groundwork’s landscape architect designed the ‘Trenance Valley Action Park’ with input from pupils from nearby Treviglas School. The final design for the park contains a range of exciting and challenging equipment.
