We love going back to school... to college and university too

The Talbot team are regularly engaged at village schools, local colleges and amongst the world’s top universities, creating and maintaining the best possible learning environment for students alongside a beautiful working landscape for the staff and visitors.

Sourcing the best landscaping materials

We source robust and sustainable materials meeting a wide range of requirements including urban amenity planting, arboriculture strata cell tree pit constructions, semi-mature tree planting, ornamental shrub, whip and hedge planting, BS3882 topsoiling works, turfing and hard landscaping.

If you need help planning the horticulture selection we can support with a range of plants, trees or shrubs at the correct height and girth density to deliver a sustainable and aesthetic look.

Due to the lead time and availability on certain trees, it is often necessary to secure the supply of trees early. We relocate the green assets to our nursery and nuture them for several months until installation. In some cases the desired trees may only be available from overseas (Europe) where our 30 years of experience and supply chain is important.

Exacting project planning and attention to horticulture detail

Here on a Central London university campus we planted 30cm Tilia Euchloraeavy, 30cm Prunus Padus, 30cm Pinus Sylvestris, Scallonia ‘Donard Seedling’ Shrub and we got really positive feedback from the students, staff and visitors on the results.

Maintaining school landscapes

Maintaining a school, college or university landscape is vitally important to the staff work environment and student experience alike. A clean well landscaped environment supports staff recruitment and retention and we are all increasingly understanding the connection between environment, mental health and learning outcomes.

We are experienced in the development of landscaping plans for your campus from the small primary school to large university. All of our work is carried out under our ISO9001 quality standards. Working in busy project sites that remain open each day to students and staff alike is familiar to us. We go to work with a DBS checked team, fully aware of quality planning routines and safe working practices including traffic plans.

We can support your inhouse team, augmenting resources to deliver sustainable landscaping routines. Contact us to discuss your landscape.
