Hamptons Estate Agents Salisbury 'Meet the Expert'
Meet ‘New Enclosure’ landscaper, Richard Connell.
Tell us a little about New Enclosure?
New Enclosure is a landscape consultancy based in the heart of Salisbury working across Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Dorset. We’re fast approaching our fifth year in business and are proud to have been involved in a range of projects from nature-led masterplanning for country estates and smallholdings to high-end private residential garden design and a number of larger scale residential developments and community-led schemes. Regardless of scale or context, our work is all bound by our commitment to create beautiful spaces for people and nature. We’re driven to understand the character of a place, to reveal its innate qualities, and show our clients how their landscape can be transformed. The design goes beyond what one can see.
What are the services your clients are most looking for at the moment?
Aside from our core landscape design, planning, and management services, we’re increasingly finding that it’s not one particular service that our clients are drawn to but rather our approach. As many of them are embarking on significant changes to their properties and surrounding landscape, we’re told they particularly value our attentive and proactive approach. They like that we’re a small and independent team that prides itself on being
Which project are you most proud of?
We’re proud of them all but one in particular that stands out is a landscape design masterplan for 18 acres of Wiltshire chalk stream river valley. We took a really ambitious vision to totally transform what was previously an over-grazed pasture with a number of agricultural buildings in disrepair and produced a masterplan that created a haven for nature, a place for the client’s family to enjoy and grow with, and a commercial offering to help diversify their income. With ponds, streams, extensive meadow creation, and native tree planting, as well as development proposals for a residential and commercial offering on site, the earliest stages of the project have obtained planning permission and are now being implemented. We love this one in particular not only because we have a great relationship with our client but because it allowed us to weave our whole expertise throughout the project from landscape design to obtaining planning permission and devising an ecologically sound plan for the management and maintenance of the landscape as it matures.
How do you like people to get in touch with you?
Just give us a call, or send us an email, we’re always interested to hear of new potential projects and to discuss how we can help you.
