Sacha Barnes

Welcome to Sacha Barnes Limited, the one stop shop for all your landscape planning requirements. We specialise in providing a comprehensive range of landscape services, with the assurance that you'll always receive high standards of professional care and project delivery. We are deeply committed to working closely with our clients and delivering outcomes to meet exact needs. We have a passion for local distinctiveness, working in harmony with local character and we will always strive to achieve environmental benefit.

We are a small friendly team of landscape professionals with our roots in Banbury, North Oxfordshire and a growing portfolio of clients and projects that take us nationwide. A good local reputation is like good news and warm butter, it spreads! We are committed to supporting local groups and community projects. With so many years experience in Local Authority Planning and Recreation, we have served on both sides of the professional fence and offer this wealth of experience as our greatest strength.

As Landscape Architects we are involved with a wide range of projects designing schemes for green infrastructure on residential and commercial developments, civic open spaces and parks, urban courtyards, cycleways, private gardens and lakes. Projects are often related to planning requirements for new development but others are commissioned directly by clients for the enhancement of their private estates and gardens. When designing external spaces we take our inspiration from local character to create distinctive landscapes that meet our client's needs and aspirations.

We have excellent in house expertise in the management of new and established landscape areas that sets us apart from many landscape design practices. A sound knowledge and understanding of the requirements for aftercare and management is vital to successful landscape design. An important part of our landscape service is advising clients on maintenance and longer term programmes of landscape management, so whether you are a Local Authority responsible for public parks and green spaces or the owner of a private garden we can provide the expertise you need.

Plant selection, planting design, and horticulture will be at the heart of everything we do as landscape professionals. We have the in-house expertise to give you the very best advice and service on all your horticultural needs. Whether you require a small selection of specimen plants for your office terrace, a planting scheme for a major new development or an annual display of plants for your street or shopping centre, we provide an excellent design service. We also specialise in the selection of plants and will source indigenous stock of local provenance where special measures of conservation apply.

When our clients ask us to prepare a project brief, we like to give as much time as possible to understand their precise needs. Our attention to customer care is always important and particularly when working with community groups and organisations. We specialise in providing a comprehensive landscape planning service with pre application site analysis, tree surveys and reports, landscape designs, specifications and working method statements. We're involved in civic amenity, residential and commercial developments as well as agricultural diversification and countryside management schemes.

We provide a comprehensive range of landscape services to support your planning application or appeal. With commissions for residential and commercial development, civic spaces, farm diversification and leisure we provide project leadership and specialist support within project teams. Whether we become involved at the beginning of your project or at the tail end we will always deliver to deadline.
