Waterbeach New Town

Wild Wood Play Area

Todds Nursery supplied and installed mature specimen trees for the Wild Wood play landscape at Waterbeach New Town, one of Urban&Civic’s strategic developments in Cambridgeshire. The project required the coordination, delivery and installation of some of the largest containerised trees supplied to a landscape project in Europe.

Scope of Works

Supply of 170+ mature specimen trees
Trees ranging up to 24 metres in height
Specialist logistics planning and transport
On-site installation of the largest specimens using Todds’ own team and equipment
Coordination with landscape contractors and project teams to maintain programme certainty

Key Outcomes

Zero tree stock damage or rejection
Successful installation of large specimen trees within programme
Demonstrated capability to manage complex logistics and large tree installations
Strengthened long-term strategic partnership with Urban&Civic

Strategic Impact

Following the successful delivery of this project, Todds Nursery has continued to support Urban&Civic’s development portfolio, supplying over 800 British-grown mature trees and 30,000+ transplants and shrubs across multiple sites. The partnership has also led to the allocation of 50 acres of contract-grown tree production dedicated to Urban&Civic developments.
