Microsite: Treescaping & Biodiversity Led Landscape Delivery
Treescaping is Microsite’s biodiversity-led approach to landscaping, bringing together tree planting, habitat creation, natural design and long-term land management. Instead of treating planting as a decorative add-on, we design landscapes around ecological function, site conditions and future performance.
Microsite delivers treescaping for developers, estates, public sector organisations and commercial landowners who want landscapes that look good, work hard and support measurable environmental value over time.
Microsite delivers treescaping and biodiversity led landscaping that prioritises ecological function, resilience, and long term land performance.
We work with developers, estates, public sector organisations, and commercial landowners to design and deliver landscapes that integrate tree planting, habitat creation, and structural elements into cohesive, practical environments. Our approach places biodiversity at the centre of landscape design rather than treating it as an add-on.
Treescaping and biodiversity led landscaping form a key part of Microsite’s environmental delivery.
Many landscapes are designed to look finished on day one, but not enough attention is given to how they will establish, function and perform over time. Treescaping takes a different approach.
At Microsite, we look at the land as a working system. Soil conditions, drainage, access, tree species, habitat value, maintenance, biodiversity and long-term stewardship all influence how successful a landscape becomes. By considering these details from the start, we help create outdoor spaces that are practical, resilient and better connected to nature.
Landscapes are most successful when informed by soil conditions, site use, ecological context, and future management.
Microsite approaches landscape design and delivery with careful coordination. We consider drainage, utilities, construction phasing, public access, and long term stewardship from the outset, ensuring landscapes establish successfully within developments, estates, and public spaces.
The emphasis is on ecological integrity, durability, and measurable environmental value.
Below are the key services within this area of work. Each supports the design, coordination, and long term performance of ecologically informed landscapes.
Designing and delivering landscapes where biodiversity and habitat function shape layout and planting decisions.
Integrating structural elements, surfaces, and ground preparation to support both usability and ecological performance.
Preparing sites properly to ensure planting and landscape elements establish successfully and perform over time.
Delivering resilient and practical landscape solutions for estates, commercial land, and public environments.
Shaping landscapes around natural systems, site conditions, and long term environmental processes.

Treescaping is Microsite’s approach to biodiversity-led landscaping. It combines tree planting, habitat creation, ecological design and long-term land management to create landscapes that support both people and nature.
Traditional landscaping often focuses on appearance first. Treescaping considers ecological function, soil conditions, drainage, species choice, habitat value, resilience and long-term management from the start.
Yes. Biodiversity-led landscaping can support Biodiversity Net Gain when it is designed, delivered and managed correctly. GOV.UK provides official Biodiversity Net Gain guidance for developers, land managers and planning teams.
Treescaping can support developments, estates, public spaces, commercial sites, infrastructure projects and managed landscapes where tree planting, habitat creation and long-term environmental performance need to work together.
Long-term management helps ensure planting, habitats and landscape features continue to perform after installation. Forest Research provides useful resources on urban tree management and tree establishment in challenging environments.
If you are planning a development, estate improvement, public space, commercial landscape or biodiversity-led site project, Microsite can help shape a practical route forward.
