Depending on the space on offer and amount of vegetation waste created, we can introduce either a purpose built composting tub or build a bespoke compost production system, children can be shown the management of the compost heaps and how the bio degradation system works.

We look to include Water butts at appropriate rain water run off points i.e. down pipes, so that children can have the use of this water collection system explained and how to access them for specific purposes.

One of the most important issues for teaching staff, is the amount of storage available for the day to day outdoor apparatus that needs to be hauled in and out on a daily basis. We look at the practicalities, in correctly placing the storage facility for ease of access we can cut down the time it takes to get equipment onto the playground. The design of the storage facility with regard to the amount of equipment that can be stored and the access to it.

Whether it be a separate purpose built unit or an add on/extension to the school building, we can advise and include this facility within the project.

The provision of vegetable gardens within schools has been widely promoted over the past few years as an introduction to plant propagation for children, we strongly recommend including a site for this outdoor education facility. We will advise you with regard to the optimum site required and set up a crop management system for you to adopt if you so wish.

We use log walling as a tactile, soft, aesthetically pleasing landscape feature. Used for retaining walls, planters and pathway edgings the log walling is versatile, blending with almost any landscape back cloth.

To include a shallow babbling brook as an additional feature within a landscaping scheme further promotes the natural environmental aspect of your grounds development, introducing children to Aquaculture. Meandering pathways through wetland areas and over the streams, via bridges, can obviously enhance the outdoor dimension to your education development.
