Inscapes

Inscapes: sports ground engineering and landscaping across the UK

Inscapes describes itself as an established sports ground contractor and a specialist in commercial landscaping, environmental works, drainage and irrigation. Its activity combines contracting projects with an online shop for landscaping and building materials. The company states that it has worked across the UK for over 25 years, covering natural, hybrid and synthetic pitch construction as well as hard and soft landscaping, arboriculture, land management and habitat restoration.

According to its own presentation, having all these capabilities under one roof allows it to take a project from design through installation to ongoing maintenance without passing the client between different contractors.

Contracting services

The contracting side is organised around several areas: sports, landscaping, irrigation, environmental projects and lawn care. The projects highlighted on the site include drainage improvements at Ffos Las Racecourse, a wetlands development at Taf Bargoed, an irrigation upgrade at Aberdovey Golf Club and turf translocation from the Isle of Grain to Shorn.

Materials sold through the online shop

The shop offers a range of products used in the company's own projects. The catalogue is grouped into the following categories:

• Turf and soil: natural turf, wild flower turf, artificial turf, soil, fertilisers and grass seed.
• Landscaping: bark, edging, gravel grids, underground drainage and instant hedges, including instant trough hedging.
• Irrigation: sprinklers, controllers and decoders, tap timers and rain sensors, pipe and fittings, solenoid valves, valve boxes and cable, pumps and water storage, dripline, fittings and hoses.
• Timber and landscaping products: timber fencing and sleepers.

The site also provides practical guides on laying and watering a lawn.

Divisions and acquired businesses

Inscapes operates through several divisions and brands. Landcraft, described as a commercial hard and soft landscaping specialist with ground maintenance services, was acquired through a strategic transaction with Landcraft Projects Ltd. Evergreen Irrigation, which the company says has been involved in irrigation design and supply in the UK and overseas for more than 30 years, was also acquired; it offers irrigation design and supply and, through a dealer network, full installation. Inscapes Arboriculture covers tree care, from pruning and shaping to tree removal and stump grinding. Inscapes Residential was formed after the purchase and merger with Luxuria Landscapes Ltd, a specialist in routine garden maintenance and landscaping projects, and offers ongoing garden maintenance and one-off garden tidies.
