Biodiversity in focus at Regent’s View

Protecting your investment. Enhancing your spaces. All year round.

Our maintenance services keep your landscapes looking their best, supporting plant health, safety and long-term performance.

As summer draws to a close at Regent’s View, the landscape is continuing to establish and mature, bringing colour, texture and biodiversity to this major London development. With more than 7,700 plants incorporated across the scheme, the planting has been carefully delivered to create attractive, resilient spaces that provide seasonal interest while supporting urban wildlife.

Recent photographs from the project have captured bees and butterflies making use of the established planting, providing a great example of how thoughtfully designed and carefully delivered landscapes can contribute to biodiversity within densely developed urban environments. For the NAO Landscapes team, seeing the planting flourish is particularly rewarding and demonstrates the importance of quality installation, plant establishment and ongoing care in bringing the original landscape design to life.

1. 7,700 plants creating an urban landscape

Planting plays a significant role in the landscape at Regent’s View, with more than 7,700 plants incorporated across the scheme to create a varied and engaging environment. The planting palette combines a diverse mix of species, textures and forms, creating visual interest throughout the seasons while helping to soften the surrounding architecture. Careful installation and establishment have been essential to ensuring the planting successfully translates the landscape design into a thriving finished environment. As the landscape continues to mature, the character of these spaces will continue to develop, demonstrating the long-term value that high-quality soft landscaping can bring to major urban developments.

2. Creating space for biodiversity

Even within densely developed parts of London, thoughtfully designed landscapes can provide valuable opportunities for nature. The diverse planting at Regent’s View provides sources of food and habitat for pollinators and other urban wildlife. Recent images of bees and butterflies amongst the planting have offered a particularly rewarding indication of how the landscape is beginning to establish and function. Creating successful urban landscapes isn't simply about how a space looks on completion. Plant diversity, seasonal interest and careful establishment can all contribute towards creating more resilient landscapes that benefit both the people using them and the wildlife that shares these spaces.

3. Landscapes designed to establish and evolve

A successful landscape continues to develop long after the main construction works are complete. At Regent’s View, seeing the planting establish across the changing seasons is an important part of bringing the original landscape vision to life. Quality installation, appropriate plant handling and attention during the establishment period all contribute to the long-term performance of a landscape. For our team, this means considering not only how a project looks at handover, but how it will mature and perform in the years that follow.

The progress at Regent’s View is a great example of this approach. As the planting becomes increasingly established, the landscape is developing into a greener, more characterful environment that complements the wider development while creating valuable space for people and nature.
