GreenBlue Urban provides a range of services to assist landscape architects in the design of attractive and effective solutions for the healthy establishment and successful long-term growth of urban trees and SuDS designs, along with coordinating street furnishings.
As part of our Specification Support Service, we will be pleased to review your tree pit designs and offer advice on how to improve and enhance them.
You can also save design time by taking advantage of our professionally designed CAD tree pit packages, which are suitable for a wide range of situations and ensure product compatibility.
GreenBlue also support NBS Source, BIM and have our own online design tool – Discover more within the Guide!
With Biodiversity Net Gain a mandatory requirement – Environment Act 2021 requires developers to ensure new proposals feature at least 10% improvement to biodiversity. (BNG) is ‘an approach to development, and/or land management, that leaves nature in a measurably better state than beforehand’.
Along with the prerequisite that developments of 10 dwellings or more require SuDS interventions, unless deemed inappropriate ensures that green and blue infrastructure is finally further up the agenda at planning stage.
GreenBlue Urban offer the technical expertise on national planning policy and planning guidance on flood risk measures.
Urban foresters ensure the careful attention and management of tree populations in city settings for the purpose of improving the urban environment. Ensuring the health and longevity of our urban forests and street trees is a large task that requires resources.
GreenBlue is here to support urban foresters in their battle to maintain our urban landscape settings. Working collaboratively to educate and produce resources that will assist in the assessment of right tree, right place, right way, and much more.
Working with many universities across the UK, GreenBlue Urban are proud to support several planning and architecture courses with bespoke hands-on learning and resources to our future urban planners.
In support, they will be better equipped to assess the viability of schemes based on the integration of nature-based solutions for the benefit of all. This guide in itself is the first stepping stone for many on their learning journey!

Engineers will of course pay careful attention to the structural integrity and building standards when dealing with buildings and roadways. GreenBlue are fully committed to support with data on continued testing of products in the knowledge that our products fully meet load capacity requirements.
Our designs greatly reduce the environmental difficulties faced in urban areas, while simultaneously controlling the occurrence of pavement heave or subsidence. GreenBlue products even make it possible for trees to share soil space with utilities, with neither one impinging upon the other.
With nature-based solutions at the forefront of managing stormwater we are delighted at the recent shift from tanked storage to SuDS solutions – our hydraulic guidance and detailed designs make the transition easy for experienced and new engineers alike.
