Tread with a light touch and the earth will repay you in more ways than you can imagine" underpins the SGD Manifesto for Sustainable Gardens and Landscapes that sets out to advise, educate and implement an essential tenet in treating the environment in which we live and work.

With an ever increasing palette of materials at our disposal, from artificial grass to porcelain paving and much else we need to fully understand the impact that these and other products can have on an ever changing and increasingly fragile world. This, together with an increased awareness of the importance of good husbandry, soil health, drainage patterns, biodiversity and ensuring a minimal carbon footprint offer the opportunity to create places of real worth. We Must Try Harder!
