A C D Landscape Architects

ACD is an environmental consultancy with over 30 years' experience. In recent years we have developed and grown to provide a full range of services including arboriculture, landscape architecture, ecology and archaeology. We have worked with an eclectic range of clients on a variety of projects including residential housing, care homes, private garden design, industrial, business and retail park developments. We can provide solutions relating to assessment, planning, design and management of a range of environmental issues, and pride ourselves on providing a fast, responsive and commercially aware service to our clients.

ACD Archaeology has provided and managed the completion of specialist advice on small to large-scale residential, retail and mixed use developments throughout the United Kingdom. More recently, experience has diversified to include a greater number of historic building and landscape enhancement projects. Project experience has involved assessment of both archaeological and other heritage assets informed by desk based research and fieldwork. The work is underpinned by Ben's academic background which includes both archaeological and historic building qualifications.

Since our inception, we have expanded our project range to include residential development, park and play area design, residential care homes, private garden design and landscape infrastructure. Our design team based at our head office in Malmesbury provides a high quality, innovative, responsive and well respected service. Our branch offices in Surrey and Hampshire provide regional support and an immediate service to our clients in those areas. The regional offices are responsible for direct contact for projects in those areas and co-ordinate all aspects of landscape design, ecology, arboriculture and archaeology.

ACD has been providing effective, efficient and robust arboricultural consultancy to clients for over 30 years. We have seen the industry evolve over the years: initially working with the draft of BS5837:1991 to today's current version of the Standard. ACD Arboriculture was formalised in 2007 in response to increasing requirements from Local Planning Authorities for more comprehensive arboricultural reports to accompany all planning applications. Now integrated into ACD Environmental, the arboricultural team, led by Tom Grayshaw, continues to meet the demands driven by requirements of BS5837:2012 'Trees In Relation To Design, Demolition & Construction'.
