• Planting specifications — pit design, soil volumes, structural soils
• Tree sourcing guidance
• Establishment and aftercare planning
• Soil and rooting environment design

Particular focus on urban and constrained sites, schools, and integration with existing trees.

• Woodland structure improvement — thinning, understorey planting
• Deadwood habitat creation
• Native planting and woodland expansion
• Hedgerow creation
• Ground flora and woodland edge habitats
• Soil improvements
• Integration with site design

Aligned with the BNG metric for measurable, auditable improvements.
