👌 🍂 The Prunus serrula (Tibetan cherry) adds elegance and year-round visual interest to Vistry Group’s Heath Farm Lane development. Its rich, copper-toned bark glows in the sunlight, creating warmth and texture, while delicate white spring blossoms attract pollinators. In summer, its lush foliage softens the landscape, and by autumn, it transforms with fiery reds, oranges, and golds, making it a stunning focal point. 🍂 👌 Planted outside the Heath Farm Lane plots, these multi-stemmed trees naturally frame the space, adding depth, movement, and curb appeal. Their unique form blends architecture with nature, creating a welcoming, visually dynamic environment that enhances the character of the development. ⚪ 🟢 Landstruction 🟢 ⚪ Landstruction David Whitley David Parry Vistry Group Garth Davies-Paul

It’s been a busy week of ecological support, helping our valued clients deliver essential mitigation to keep projects moving responsibly. We’re at the early stages of creating great crested newt mitigation ponds, part of a larger habitat enhancement initiative. Meanwhile, our arboriculture team has been working closely with the supervising ecologist, conducting tree inspections for potential bat roosts ahead of selective vegetation clearance. A great effort from the teams, ensuring biodiversity protection remains a priority throughout the project! #Ecology #Arboriculture #Biodiversity #HabitatEnhancement #Mitigation #Conservation

With some super exciting announcements along their way in 2025 - I thought I would do a few more posts here reflecting on the great year that was 2024. First up is our garden at RHS Tatton Park Flower Show 2024, winner of an Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal, Best in Show and the RHS Environmental Innovation Award. “This Garden Isn’t Finished Without You” sponsored by The Methodist Church was our return to RHS Flower Show Tatton Park 2024 and was a huge success where the garden grabbed multiple awards. The garden was designed to create a communal space where everyone is welcome to flourish. The floorplan of the garden is abstracted from a typical Methodist Church to show that church can be anywhere - here, now, in this garden, and is above all a community. Bright, colourful, and diverse planting creates a marvellous display inspired by the diversity of people - each beautiful and unique and even more beautiful when working together. Cork walls wrap the boundary of the garden to create a soft and textural sanctuary whilst large Fig trees provide shelter. Large woven willow sculptures with three distinct forms symbolise how we are all unique. All of this is centred around an open table where people can come together to encounter each other. Artfully built and relocated by Landstruction.
