ELD Uniqueness
As Chartered Landscape Architects, ELD has provided clients with commitment and guarantees over the past decade, that have resulted in an established reputation for providing well specified landscape designs to gain planning approval.
We are very proud to announce that ELD was an integral part of two RIBA award winning teams awarded, ‘Building of the Year’, in the ‘Spirit of Ingenuity’ awards, for a high design and high specification New Stud Headquarters building in Newmarket for a private client and ‘The Avenue’, a residential scheme at Saffron Waldon.
These awards reflect our team’s dedication and passion for landscape design and the environment and thus, our motto is, ‘Our Difference… is our Dedication’. This ethos has become a core belief and known to be supported by the numerous repeat project commissions from our clients, which bears testimony to our ongoing commitment to design landscapes for future generations.
Our relationships are built on honesty, reliability & trust and we always actively welcome feedback.
