Sustainable Landscaping consultants in Uran.

Uran is low, flat land between the harbour and the hills around Dronagiri, and much of it was once creek, mudflat and salt pan. Mangroves still line the creeks around the port, and wetlands such as Panje and Dongri fill with flamingos and other migratory birds each winter. The port, the logistics yards and the new roads have taken a large share of this ground. Green work here is about planting and protecting on saline, wind-blown land: for the villages, workers and birds that share it.

Landscapes at Uran contend with salt in the air and soil, strong monsoon wind, and a water supply that runs short before the rains. Lawns and ornamental shrubs fail on brackish fill. We use salt-tolerant natives and grasses, raise beds above the saline water table, mulch heavily, and run drip irrigation from the site's treated water or harvested rain. Hardscape is laid to drain towards swales rather than onto roads. The owner gets a landscape that lasts on the coast without a tanker. The work is carried from our base in the region by named people, start to finish, not passed down a chain.
